If you’re in the market for new outdoor furniture for your backyard patio or around the fire pit, getting started can feel overwhelming. There are so many options out there that it’s often hard to know the best places to buy. Some are better than others depending on what you’re looking for, how much you want to spend, and (in this post-pandemic supply chain) how quickly you want to get your hands on the product.

We’ve put together a list of the best places to buy your next outdoor dining room table or sofa set based on several criteria. The good news is there are so many places you can go to compare stock, pricing, and availability, and, as long as you set your budget ahead of time, the sky is the limit for your outdoor entertainment area. Here are the outdoor furniture stores we love.

Best budget-friendly stores

If you don’t want to break the bank for your outdoor furniture, here are a few places to shop.

Best for variety

If you want a variety of choices, Amazon is the place to go for dining sets, sofas, fire pits, and more. You can compare prices on tons of outdoor items, and they’ll ship free if you have Amazon Prime.

Best for one-stop outdoor shopping

Walmart is another great option for affordable outdoor furniture. You can search by price, and they also offer a ton of variety when it comes to all things outdoors. Once you’re there, don’t forget the sunscreen, bug spray, and gardening tools you’ll need to make your backyard picture perfect.

Best stores for splurging

If you have an open budget and want the most well-crafted furniture, check out these stores online and in person.

Yardbird

The quality of Yardbird furniture is unmatched. All of their metal-framed pieces are made of commercial-grade aluminum that is lightweight, strong, and won’t rust. Their fabrics are Sunbrella, so they are fade- and water-resistant. They offer a large selection of everything you need to make outdoor living a dream this summer.

Horchow

If you want high-end, designer pieces that will really make a statement, look no further than Horchow. They have gorgeous collections and will deliver the timeless, classic look every backyard deserves.

Best for certain types of furniture

If you have a specific design type or have a connecting indoor/outdoor space and you’re trying to match your interior design, check out these stores.

Midcentury modern

If you love all things midcentury modern, Lumens is the place to search for one-of-a-kind, high-end pieces for your outdoor space. Their collections aren’t cheap, but they will leave you and your guests in awe of their sleek design and masterful quality.

Rustic

If you want a more rustic feel for the outdoors, check out Wayfair. You can search by style, color, fabric, and price, and they offer tons of online reviews from shoppers like you.

Modern

If your aesthetic sits firmly in the modern camp, we love Article. Their pieces are timeless, elegant, and will be the focus of any outdoor area. They also offer free delivery on any order over $999.

Sustainable

If you refuse to purchase anything that’s not sustainably produced and manufactured, Outer is the ideal choice for you. Their factory is owned by the CEO’s family, and everything is made from recycled materials with an eye on getting people to enjoy outdoor living in a sustainable manner. They also have a partnership with Queer Eye legend Bobby Berk, which is as sleek and stunning as you can imagine.

You can’t go wrong with any of the stores listed above. Their pieces are durable, stylish, and comfortable, which is all you need for outdoor entertaining and living. As with any purchase, review their return policy and any manufacturer’s warranties so you know what to do in the event your piece isn’t as you’d hoped. You’ll also want to check the care instructions so you know what products to use for cleaning up any stains or spills that will inevitably happen.

Most of these stores also offer decor, so your outdoor space will feel as designed and cozy as your indoor space. We love throw pillows, outdoor rugs, and candles that transform a patio or deck from cold to serene and warm. It’s been a long winter; it’s time to get outside and enjoy all that summer has to offer.

If you love looking at homes (whether you're in the market or not), Zillow is one of the premiere sites to do so. Not only does it give a good idea of what's available and coming available in your area, you can get home prices, up-and-coming neighborhoods, and plenty of design ideas when perusing homes. According to a recent study of millions of active for-sale Zillow listings, they even help to identify this year's most sought-after design trends. Here's what they had to say.

Outdoor spaces
Gorgeous outdoor spaces are having a moment, and for good reason. People are still spending more time at home post-pandemic, and having space outside to soak in the sun and be in nature is important. Backyards were mentioned 22% more often in for-sale listings last year when comparing them against the year prior. "The rising popularity of outdoor features suggests the pandemic has changed the way we want to live for good, priming the backyard for a 2023 evolution,” said Amanda Pendleton, Zillow’s home trends expert. “When the pandemic forced all entertaining outdoors, homeowners reclaimed their backyards from the kids or the dogs.”
Mirror, mirror on the wall
While outdoor spaces make sense, this next one may surprise you. Mirrored walls, like those that were popular circa 1970-1980s are coming back. "Mirrored walls and even mirrored ceilings have been showing up 12% more than the year before," according to the study, but with a bit of a twist. This time, more antique or vintage-inspired mirrors are on trend, especially when they make a small or dark room feel more spacious and bright.
Other notable mentions
Other trends rising in popularity over the last year are private nooks in a home, even in ones that are more open concept. Think reading nooks, private yoga spaces, or just a quiet, well-thought-out space where you can spend some time alone. Another mention is continuing the use of vintage materials like wood and muted metals to keep a home feeling warm and lived in. Finally, kitchen islands are continuing to stay popular as we use our kitchens for entertaining, family dinners, work, and play. The bigger, the better, and the use of color that offsets them from the rest of the space are still very much trending.
