         9 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the lower portion of the external shell is lifted from the ground surface. 
     
     
         10 . A furniture apparatus comprising:
 a back chamber;   a base chamber;
 wherein the back chamber and the base chamber are operatively connected to each other; 
 wherein the back chamber and the base chamber further comprise:
 an upper portion; 
 a lower portion; 
 at least two support walls coupled to the upper portion and lower portion, operable to maintain the upper portion at a height above a ground surface; 
 at least one moveable component operatively connected to at least one of the upper portion, lower portion, and either of the support walls; and 
 at least one internal chamber. 
 
   
     
     
         11 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one internal chamber is accessible through the at least one moveable component. 
     
     
         12 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one moveable component is permanently attached to at least one of upper portion, lower portion, and either of the support walls on at least a portion of at least one edge of at least one of upper portion, lower portion, and either of the support walls. 
     
     
         13 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one internal chamber has dimensions configured to store at least one cushion that is operable to provide back support to users on the back portion. 
     
     
         14 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one internal chamber has dimensions configured to store at least one cushion that is operable to seat users on the base portion. 
     
     
         15 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one moveable component is configured to hermitically seal the at least one internal chamber. 
     
     
         16 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one internal chamber can be made of synthetic materials. 
     
     
         17 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one internal chamber can be made of a combination of natural materials and synthetic materials. 
     
     
         18 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the external shell is made of a durable powder-coated steel that is covered and coupled with an all-weather resin wicker. 
     
     
         19 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the lower portion of the external shell is lifted from the ground surface. 
     
     
         20 . The furniture apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the back chamber is adjustable in a plane relative to the base chamber such that the back chamber is operable to seat users.
