If your garden furniture is made of metal, regularly check for rust. It is easier to treat smaller corrosion spots, so don't wait for them to become bigger and obvious. You may have to replace the whole set if this happens.
Solid wood furniture is the best in my opinion. You can fix it, sand it, plane it, oil it, stain it, paint it for decades. I think wood is the most beautiful material on the planet. When you are done with your table and chairs, it makes a good bonfire.
