Wrought iron furniture can require a bit more maintenance than wood or resin, but is less prone to rust than cast iron (and a lot easier to move around!). If you live in a tropical or humid area, then you may want to consider some other kid of furniture or seek out garden furniture that is sealed to prevent rust.
You can buy antique cast or wrought iron outdoor furniture with chippy paint for a shabby chic garden look but you will need to protect it from rust. Some paste wax can help in protecting this metal. If you do see it starting to rust, you can scrub it with steel wool and apply naval jelly to remove the rust. Paint with a metal spray paint that is rust resistant. This can be done to the whole piece or touch up certain areas.
Relaxing in your garden is important, so you'll probably want to buy outdoor cushions for iron furniture as it can be a bit hard to sit on. Make sure you select cushions that are made from sturdy materials that can withstand being outside and exposed to the elements.
Each year, you should inspect your garden furniture for damage, rust and dirt. If you live in a cold climate where you can only enjoy the outdoors for part of the year, do this before you put the furniture away for the season. Never leave your garden furniture outside in the winter as this will greatly shorten it's life span. Before storing the furniture away, inspect each piece and all cushions. Was everything with mild soap and water and let it dry thoroughly before putting in storage. Take care of any rust and repairs before you store it away and your furniture will be ready to go at the first signs of spring!
