The Best Patio Furniture (And How to Shop for It)

Great furniture for your patio, backyard, or porch can transform how you use your space, creating an oasis for seasonal, or even year-round, use. We spent 50+ hours assembling, testing, and researching all kinds of patio furniture in all kinds of climates.

We tried to find options for all kinds of setups, including: a modern wood-and-metal dining table, a classic wrought-iron steel dining set, a sleek outdoor sofa, a stylish lounger, and a chic teak sofa.

We also walk you through what to consider when buying outdoor furniture—even if our picks aren’t to your taste or are unavailable.
