We’ve rounded up the very best shops that offer robust selections of outdoor furniture in a variety of styles—because why not have a slice of well-designed paradise in your own backyard?
Read on to find our favorite outdoor furniture brands and learn why they made the cut. Your outdoor space has never been so dialed.
Manufactured in a factory owned by the CEO’s family with recycled materials, Outer is on a mission to connect their audience with outdoor living in a sustainable way. Their products are designed to be incredibly durable with a classic, coastal look. And, in a fun twist, the brand has forgone a traditional brick-and-mortar model and invites actual customers to host showrooms in their own backyards.
Customers give high marks for the ease of delivery and assembly, in case you’re looking for something relatively fuss-free.
Teak Outdoor Armless Chair, Set of 2
Outdoor Bug Shield Throw Blanket
Yardbird’s eco-friendly furniture is created using recycled materials, and their commitment to sustainability extends to their packaging and manufacturing. Their diverse collections are inspired by everything from English gardens to West Coast living. Yardbird has a number of showrooms around the country, so you can also view certain designs in-store.
West Elm is another one of the best outdoor furniture stores. Their high-quality pieces have long been staples in living rooms and dining rooms, and they bring the same attention to detail and contemporary aesthetic to their backyard and patio collections. Shop West Elm if you’re looking for luxe outdoor seating that’s equal parts chic and comfortable.
Another thing we love is the constant rotation of designs—chances are, you’ll see something new every time you visit the site or store. From accents for small spaces to patio umbrellas, there’s plenty of outdoor patio furniture to peruse.
Channel coastal vibes with Serena & Lily’s extensive collection of serene, beach-inspired furniture and home decor. Serena & Lily also has a team of design advisers that will collaborate with you to plan out furniture arrangements, go over swatches, create mood boards, and so on. Basically, they will do everything they can to make your outdoor (or indoor) vision a reality from start to finish—and did we mention this service is free?
The stock is full of all-weather wicker options, sleek designs topped in performance fabric, poolside lounge chairs, and much more.
If you’re looking for great deals on outdoor furniture, you’ll find them at Wayfair. The large online retailer is known for its flash sales and coupons (which you can stack on top of their everyday discounts). In addition to outdoor furniture, Wayfair also has outdoor fencing and flooring, lighting, mailboxes, garden equipment, heating and cooling equipment, storage, and even hot tubs and saunas. It’s your one-stop shop for all things outdoors. And if your order is $49 or more, delivery is free. Time to add to cart!
It’s important to check the reviews on the specific item you’re looking to buy—quality can vary, given there are a lot of different brands represented on the site.
For minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired outdoor furniture, head straight to Neighbor. The designs favor a rich teak, but you've got options when it comes to the canvas for each piece. Rich colors like rust, leaf, and ash give the furniture a surprising amount of versatility and each design is made with quick-drying foam and weather-resistant fabric.
There are a good number of options, but the best part is that they all coexist despite not hailing from the same collection (necessarily). Outdoor furniture sets from Neighbor will grow with you as you move from space to space.
Shop Target’s outdoor living section and your next haul might just include some backyard must-haves, like this cute-as-can-be wicker patio set. Target has patio chairs starting at $20 and seating solutions for every size space. Don’t forget to check out their vibrant selection of accessories, including bright outdoor pillows, mood-setting string lights, and every kind of planter you can imagine.
We can’t stress enough how great Target is for furnishing an outdoor space on a budget. Past reviews applaud quick shipping time and responsive customer service.
Threshold French Patio Bistro Table
CB2 is a sister brand of Crate and Barrel that skews more minimalist and modern. Need a backyard or patio design consultation? They do that, too. Their designers will create mood boards and room renderings to help you bring your outdoor space to life.
The quality and delivery process is pretty standard (in a good way) for a massive retailer. Reviews have applauded quick ship times, but make sure the piece you’re looking to purchase is in stock before buying. A good number of items have longer lead times—as long as you know what to expect, you’re good.
Our favorite Anthropologie outdoor finds include mosaic tabletops, patterned outdoor sofas, garden chairs, ceramic stools, fringed hammocks, and this rattan rocker that is just begging you to sit down with a tall glass of lemonade and a good book. Shipping tends to be quick and the brand has a loyal following—there are certain pieces that are coveted long after stock sells out.
Ezana Indoor/Outdoor Canopy Daybed
Digging through Castlery’s site is a delight—lots of pops of texture and luxe-looking silhouettes. If you have expensive taste and don’t want to drop $10,000 on a dining set, Castlery has something for every space. Many pieces mix dark (weatherproof) textiles with natural wood, an expert combination for an elevated backyard. The brand gives off minimalist interior vibes, but way cozier. If you love bouclé and/or a neutral color palette, you’ll find something to obsess over. There may not be as many options to choose from as a big-box store, but curation and quality are the point.
Sorrento Outdoor Dining Chair Set
Crate & Barrel has a robust section dedicated to outdoor living. Their bestsellers include nature-inspired seating sets, sculptural side tables, and chic loungers (like the one below). Check out their gorgeous look book for a serious dose of inspiration.
While CB2’s options skew more modern, Crate & Barrel is all about traditional and contemporary designs. Plus, a good selection of the furniture you see online can be seen in person at one of the company’s many stores.
Abaco Resin Wicker Charcoal Grey Right-Arm Outdoor Chair
If you're looking for a statement piece of outdoor furniture, chances are you'll find something that catches your eye from Lulu and Georgia. The brand's highly curated selection of outdoor living essentials elevate classic silhouettes, spanning lounge chairs to side tables. Each piece is special and looks like something you'd find straight out of a designer's studio. In fact, the brand consistently works with designers from around the world to offer dialed-in furniture. This is a great place to shop if custom work isn’t within your budget but you still want something special.
Manila Indoor/Outdoor Dining Chair
Terrain’s mission is to help its customers create a home and garden that inspires. Shop their extensive selection of outdoor furniture and accessories to create an alfresco space that is serene and stylish. All-weather wicker and teak are big materials for this brand so if you’re into that vibe, dig in.
If you're looking for an outdoor furniture set that will completely transform your space, Arhaus is a great spot to start. The online retailer has plenty options that harmonize (without being too matchy-matchy), especially if you're in the market for a sectional that will house all of your friends. On the flip side, there are plenty options for those who only need to fill a corner with a chair that will give you heart eyes or a side table for patio cocktails.
This brand offers a (curated) variety that doesn’t come with a lot of other retailers. Past customers have shared that customer service can be hit or miss (hey, we fully recognize no company is perfect), so keep this in mind.
Corfu Outdoor Round Dining Table
Horchow has been supplying the interior-design-inclined with unique, refined home furniture for 50 years. Focused on designing long-lasting pieces that also satisfy one’s deep desire for personality, the brand toes the fine line between trendy and timeless, whether it’s affordable sconce lighting for the patio or the outdoor sectional you need to complete your home’s outdoor bar.
You can pick up just about anything you need to complete your outdoor space, from faux palm trees and human-sized sculptures to lounge chairs and conversation sets. Let Horchow be your one-stop-shop for all things patio-related — we know you’ll find something that matches your style.
Brothers Harrison and Nicholas Condos have been in the world of outdoor furniture since they were born. Their father Jim began crafting furniture in their Sydney, Australia workshop in 1976, and Harbour is the boys’ brain child.
The Condos have kept their family ethos alive, fabricating their products with high-quality materials designed to endure harsh outdoor conditions for decades. Powder-coated aluminum, sustainably sourced teak and luxury performance upholstery are just a few of the hallmarks of Harbour furniture, whose furniture you can trust to last for years on end.
DWR is another one of the best outdoor furniture stores, especially if you’re searching for high-end pieces. Their modern aesthetic brings an elite sophistication that complements any contemporary backyard. The brand also has exclusive rights to a number of iconic designs, so it’s always worth checking for special colorways or fabrics if you’re looking for a very specific piece of furniture.
If your interior design (well, exterior design) style leans traditional, Pottery Barn has a ton of options for you to get lost in. Expect lots of texture, like rattan, and simple color palettes—beiges, creams, browns, and the occasional pop of chambray blue. This is an especially good spot to shop for deals on outdoor furniture sets—plus many of the designs are water-resistant and durable.
Fans of a more traditional design style will find a ton of options at Pottery Barn, and the stock is always rotating (as poet William Cowper once said, variety is the spice of life!).

Malibu Metal Round Nesting Outdoor Coffee Table
Look to Etsy for creative, unique, and bespoke outdoor decor. You’ll find accent tables, patio furniture sets, benches, and more. The best part about Etsy? Many of their listings are customizable, so you can get pieces tailored to your exact specifications. Take the Adirondack chair above: It’s available in more than 10 colors, ranging from natural tones to bright hues like red, yellow, orange, and turquoise.
We love supporting indie makers (and we know you do ,too). Etsy is a playground of small businesses—do yourself a favor and use simple search terms like “minimalist outdoor side table” or “vintage outdoor chair” so you can get a full visual on the expanse of options.
Nordic Teak Oiled Captains Rocking Chair
Is it any surprise that Amazon would be brimming with brilliant, budget-friendly gems to outfit your patio or backyard? The mammoth retailer has more than 20,000 pieces of patio furniture. As with all products on Amazon, it’s easy to filter your search to find exactly what you want, and we love the fact that now you can even filter by whether the product is sustainable and climate-friendly. Plus, Amazon always makes shipping and delivery a breeze, and returns are hassle-free.
Don’t necessarily expect furniture that will last forever when you’re buying from Amazon—most of the time, the prices reflect this. If you are looking to temporarily outfit a space or you need an outdoor lounge chair quickly, Amazon will come through for you.
