It's Spring so I'm considering finally buying patio furniture. I wonder if folks have mid/long-term experiences from buying patio furniture from Costco?
Some additional info:
Budget is around $2000
Patio space is rectangular 14fx26ft (364sqft), would prefer to leave enough room to where it feels somewhat open
Mostly shaded, so dark vs light materials are not important
Would prefer to bring my own fire pit, not have one supplied
Prefer very low maintenance materials, but happy to store cushions away from the rain
Questions:
Do folks generally recommend getting it delivered from Costco.com to avoid having to transport the furniture themselves and get more options?
Do you have a preferred material that works better for your climate? I'm in NorCal, so mostly temperate with dry summers, 3-4 months of coldish rain in the winters.
Swivel chair vs non-swivel. This moving piece seems like a likely point of failure — thoughts?
Thinking about these two options since they seem pretty popular, mid-range in price, and well reviewed:

Has anyone gotten patio furniture sets at Costco? How long have they lasted?
Debating between the SunVilla Clifton https://www.costco.com/sunvilla-clifton-7-piece-outdoor-patio-dining-set-.product.4000215678.html
Or a polywood set from the manufacturer since the Costco version is much more expensive...
Any insights?
