Promising review: "Absolutely love this couch! Had it for a while at this point, and it really brings my patio together. Had plenty of people come over for cookouts, and everyone compliments me on how comfortable it is and how good it looks! Super easy to assemble, and has lasted me many months so far. Definitely worth the money!" —Amazon Customer

This set includes two armchairs with seat cushions and a side table with a tempered glass top.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this set. 😍 I cannot believe the price. It shipped fast and was fairly quick and easy to assemble. It's a hit. I get so many compliments." —Mrs.Mathews

Get it from Amazon for $101.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I have received a lot of compliments regarding this little cooler/table and for the price, I'm very happy with the purchase. We were looking for a smaller table to complement our larger patio set. After our last party, I think I may have made a couple of sales for the Keter brand. The cooler kept drinks cold for quite a while especially considering we didn't put much ice in it. The standing feature is nice too. Just lock the table in the open position and you can use it for a tall drink stand which works well. If you're looking for a little table for a patio set OR for a little patio cooler this product can take care of both needs." —Phenom13

Get it from Amazon for $83.96+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note... If you take care of your things — i.e. cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — It will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable, and made very well!! And it only took my hubby and I 25–30 minutes to put together. Take my word for it... you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" —Marash

Get it from Amazon for $219.99 (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "This little cart has become indispensable in our grilling area. It is EXACTLY as the picture shows, and after a year of use has held up perfectly — no chips, rust etc. Worth the money!" —SC Mom

Get it from Target for $110 (available in four colors).

It comes with two cushions and installation hardware, and can hold up to 500 pounds!

Promising review: "This came in great shape, it was easy to set up, and it is comfy and sturdy. As a plus-size woman, I was a little concerned about how sturdy it would be, but it is great! I've never felt nervous about hopping into it and staying there right until the mosquitoes come out." —Mal T

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three colors).

Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble, and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel.

Long, but worthwhile promising review: "Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The setup/take down is super easy, and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300-plus pounds in it.

The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position...no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it...no problem.

It works great as a traditional hammock to lie in. It works as a 'swing' to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you're cold or want to block out light or bugs.

We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times, and it dries great, hasn't faded from the sun, hasn't had any mold, and hasn't developed any weird smell.

Things not to love: Nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks, but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat." —Mary

Get it from Amazon for $65.72+ (available in a variety of colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Love it. It is perfect for the deck, our outside 'kitchen'. With it being next to the grill, we can put the extra food we plan on putting on the grill on it along with seasonings. We also put an electric pan on it so we can fry food outside instead of smoking up the house. We keep that pan underneath along with the grilling utensils. Its use is unlimited." —Tracey

Get it from Amazon for $247.

Promising review: "Heaven in a chair. Love everything about the zero-gravity chair! This is my first experience sitting in a chair like this... and I love it. I fell asleep outside, and it felt better than a hammock. I bought the beige... love the color. The fabric feels like a tough nylon. It has already rained on my chair, so I can attest that the chair is waterproof. The water beads off the fabric. I dried off the chair easily and effortlessly. The attachable table is adorable and fits perfectly on the frame of the chair. So happy I purchased." —tgi2day

Get a set of two from Amazon for $99.99 (available in a variety of colors).

Promising review: "We really like the recliner! It was not hard to put it together. It is great for people with longer legs, as the seat is longer. It's easy to recline. We recommend this." —Karen

Get it from Wayfair for $295.99 (available in two colors).

Heads up that this table does *not* come with the chairs pictured above.

Promising review: "For the price, it can't be beat. The table I received is by far the best 'budget' furniture item I have ever bought. It's not a cheap piece of junk that you would expect for the price by any means. It feels and looks like quality furniture. It's sturdy, easy to assemble, looks fantastic, the packing was great, and it had all the hardware (plus some extra). I'm kind of baffled." —Travis Longo

Get it from Amazon for $254.

Promising review: "This is exactly what we were looking for. It's large, has plenty of seating for family and friends, and cleans up well. This is sturdy and well made." —Stephanie M.

Get it from Amazon for $250.44+ (available with or without an umbrella base).

Don't forget to pick up some bean bag filling so you can use it in your chair as soon as it arrives!

Promising review: "This bean bag lounger is beautiful!! I love the simple look, soft grey color, and the vegan leather handle is super cool! The shop owner, Alicja, was so nice and helpful when I asked about a leather alternative. The lounger is everything I hoped it would be! I absolutely love it! TY!" —Amoryn Smith

Get it from Fibala on Etsy for $100+ (available in three sizes and two colors).

My Beachside Style is a Sydney, Australia-based shop with all sorts of island-inspired cushions, pet beds, and tableware.

Promising review: "I bought a large bean bag and I absolutely love it! You will never find this quality in a big box store. It even looks lovely in a formal living area. So versatile and comfortable. I love most that my purchase supports a person/family and NOT corporate conglomerate. I can't wait to buy more products from My Beachside Style." —Julia O'Neill

Get it from My Beachside Style on Etsy for $113.11+ (available in sizes S–L and five colors).

It comes with a bar table and two cushioned stools.

Promising review: "We ordered two of these outdoor bars for our patio. They look so great put side by side to create one long bar. I searched online for days and found this item to be the best value (as each bar comes with two stools, cushions, and the glass top). The instructions could have been a little more helpful, but it was fairly easy to figure out. The bar is very sturdy, and the shelving inside is great for extra storage. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to improve your outdoor space, this bar is the perfect addition!" —Debbie M

Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in four styles).

Promising review: "Worth the money! I was looking for a pub-style table with four chairs. This is a decent set for the money. The two lower back chairs are wider at the base but you can't lean back. The two chairs with a back are narrower at the base, but are pretty comfortable." —Mada

Get it from Walmart for $359 (originally $399).

Promising review: "We purchased this chair several months ago for our covered deck. It good quality, easy to assemble, and is so comfortable — perfect for relaxing with a good book. We recently moved it inside for the winter, because it's my favorite chair and I don't want to just cover it up for the season. Every time I walk into the room, my dog is sitting in this chair — she has essentially claimed it as her own and I find it hilarious and adorable. 10/10 would recommend." —Verified purchaser

Get it from Target for $600.

Just inflate the interior pouf and stick it inside the printed, water-resistant cover.

Promising review: "Love these! Ordered two more. The fabric is very nice and sturdy especially for outdoors. The inflatable part appears to be good quality. How to: Place inflatable inside of cover before inflating it. Do not inflate to full capacity or it will look like an inflatable and will not rest in a nice flat position. Far nicer than I imagined. They look great flanking my outdoor rattan sectional." —Cali g

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in a variety of styles).

Promising review: "This swing looks so beautiful on our front patio. It was so easy to assemble. Directions were clear and easy to follow. I love how the seat is longer so it's comfortable to sit. The fabric is sturdy and nicely made. I am seriously thinking about purchasing one for the backyard to replace my other one. I definitely recommend this swing." —Tammy

Promising review: "Easy to assemble and looks beautiful!" —Amy D

Get it from Target for $199 (available in seven colors)

Promising review: "This is an absolutely gorgeous bench! The rope/wood are even more beautiful in person. It was also (besides a couple of awkwardly placed screws) very easy to assemble. I’m not great with putting things together, and I had no problem doing it by myself. I love it!" —A reader

Promising review: "Amazing. Easy assembly, and bigger than I imagined. It looks expensive and is very comfortable — exactly what I was looking for. The price was a bargain." —Mary

Get it from Wayfair for $159.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "This is a nice, well constructed patio set. The assembly took me 45 minutes for four chairs and the table. It appears to be made of aluminum. It is well constructed and sturdy. I find the chairs to be comfortable, and there is enough room on table for four people to have a meal or drinks. A few cushions for the seats make the chairs even better. There is a hole in the middle of the table for an umbrella if one chooses to buy one. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase." —TBEventer

Get it from Amazon for $299.99+ (available in two table sizes, two table styles, and four chair styles).

Promising review: "Perfect size for our quaint balcony space in our condo building. The vibrant chartreuse color couples perfectly with our retro robin egg door. Lightweight, already assembled, and super easy to clean. The price makes this set a no brainer (it's cheaper than Target and CB2, but equal in quality). Awesome summer buy." —Nouvelle Mere

Get the set from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in seven colors and with or without a cushion).

Reviewers say the table is a little on the small side if you're trying to fit four meals on it, but say that it's perfect for small spaces and great for the price.

It has a cup holder and a side storage pocket.

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $219 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "My favorite purchase for our deck. I LOVE this fire table. Good size, great value compared to what is out there. Packaged nicely. My husband put together alone in 30–45 minutes with no frustration and easy to follow directions. Puts out a decent amount of heat. Enough rocks to adequately cover. Just add your propane tank. I love that it has a lid as well. You will find sturdier fire tables, but not at this price. Excellent value." —MGF

Get it from Amazon for $169.99.

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $119.

The Inside is a small home furnishings brand that partners with heritage design brands like Scalamandré and Old World Weavers. Once you buy a cabana chair, you can also buy extra slings (for $35) that way you can periodically change up the fabric/print.

Promising review: "This chair has come with me to the beach, it pops out on a sunny day in my backyard, and it stores easily in my garage — it's a nice weather must have!" —Patricia A.

Get it from The Inside for $129 (available in 106 colors/prints).

Promising review: "OMG this is cute and super easy to assemble. I got the red and kinda wish I had gotten the blue... oh but all the colors are so cute!! Debating buying a second one so each porch chair has its own table. This really is so incredibly versatile. I could see it on a porch, as a minimalist side table, in a kid's room, a place to keep plants... I wouldn't put anything tremendously heavy on it, but as far as tables at this price go, this is the best!" —Meghan McD

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in a variety of colors).

Promising review: "This chair has such a unique look, really completes the 'tropical retreat' feel of my balcony. The oversized seat is really comfortable, and the ottoman allows one to stretch out. I was able to assemble it in a reasonable amount of time by myself — even the canopy that many complain about. It is definitely a tight fit, but once it is stretched into place, it isn't going anywhere — even in our typically breezy afternoons. I wish it had a higher back and that the ottoman could be slid under the chair, but I can work around those issues." —RhondaMarie

Get it from Walmart for $349 (originally $449).
