I'd add Amazon's outdoor furniture line, Strathwood, to the list. My husband and I searched for MONTHS for outdoor furniture that was affordable but was also reasonably comfortable. Ikea probably would have been our go-to but the one near us doesn't carry outdoor furniture (so weird, since we live in Florida -- aren't we the ideal market?!). We finally ordered the Strathwood Griffen set and have been really pleased. The cushions aren't sunbrella, so we protect them by putting covers over the furniture. So far, so good!

Original poster here -- thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions! Lots to mull over.

@TARA77, you are absolutely correct, and my apologies for the mistake -- these cabinets are in fact thermofoil, not veneer. I discovered this only after sending in my question! So unless someone can recommend a miracle primer, I think painting is out.
