Best Overall Place to Buy Patio Furniture Online: Wayfair

Wayfair’s selection of outdoor furniture is extensive, making it a great place to shop for patio items of all sizes and styles. The brand offers dedicated shopping categories for patio furniture sets, including patio furniture for small spaces, patio bar furniture and much more. You can filter your selection by material, such as wood, metal, wicker/rattan, and plastic/resin.

We really love this affordable three-piece seating group that includes rocking chairs and a bistro table, perfect for the couple who loves having their morning coffee on the porch. There’s also this larger nine-piece dining set featuring two built-in fireplaces, perfect for summer s’mores with family and friends.

Another thing to love? At Wayfair, delivery is generally free (and fast). Professional assembly of your new Wayfair furniture is available for an additional fee.

Most Affordable Patio Furniture Online: Walmart

Those on a budget will appreciate the selection of affordable patio furniture at Walmart. You can buy large patio furniture sets for less than $1,000, which is often a starting price at high-end retailers. This seven-piece outdoor sectional set, which includes a glass-top table and can be configured into several different seating configurations, costs $586. It comes in three colors and is made from weather-resistant wicker.

We also love this stylish mid-sized set that has two end tables conveniently integrated into the sofa. You and your guests can place your drinks there or on the metal slatted table provided with the set.

There is also our Reader’s Favorite Rattan Patio Dining Set from Costway, which includes two lounge chairs, a loveseat and a glass table. It is available in five colors. This bestseller is currently on sale for $189, a 48% discount.

Shipping is free on most patio furniture at Walmart. (Check individual listings to confirm free delivery to your address.)

Best Place to Buy Simple Patio Furniture Online: Pottery barn

Pottery Barn is perfect for people looking to install eclectic patio furniture, or for those looking to purchase a few extra pieces for their space instead of a full set. The brand offers a great selection of seating configurations, like this Parisian-inspired outdoor bistro chair and this beautiful wicker outdoor dining bench for two. You’ll also find a nice selection of outdoor rugs, cantilever umbrellas, end tables and even fire pits.

As for the sets, there are some and they are superb. These include this nine-piece dining table set, which includes eight chairs and a table with a teak top. Teak is considered the best wood to use for outdoor furniture because it will not be significantly damaged in harsh weather. There’s also this small five-piece teak patio set, including two upholstered chairs, ottomans and a table.

Best place to splurge on patio furniture: The front gate

Frontgate is a stylish home brand that comes with a premium price tag, but the quality and style of its furniture and products are worth the splurge. The brand offers a wide range of eye-catching outdoor pieces, including this unique circular sofa that seats around seven people, and this hand-woven teak and resin three-piece set that seats four.

Frontgate also stands out for its selection of outdoor kitchen furniture. This includes outdoor bar carts and entertainment stations such as the Westport Teak, which includes a built-in beverage center, umbrella stand, plenty of counter space for snacks and drinks, and trash cans hidden behind the cabinets.

For the home chef who would like to cook outside, this Westport aluminum outdoor kitchen, featuring a grill cabinet, would be perfect for summer family barbecues.

Stylish patio furniture on a budget: Bed Bath and Beyond

Bed Bath & Beyond is an often sleepy retailer compared to Amazon and Wayfair, but we think it’s a treasure trove when it comes to affordable furniture. Bed Bath & Beyond has many lovely patio tables, chairs and more that will delight those looking for furniture that is both fashionable and functional. These include these Papasan Rattan Lounge Chairs, this very affordable Rattan Bistro Set with Black Cushions, and this stunning white woven lounge chair set from Safavieh.

The brand also offers unique furniture options that we can’t say we’ve seen at other retailers. We love this fun wicker egg chair and this unique patio bench, featuring two Adirondack chairs connected together via a center table. There’s also this super fun swing daybed, perfect for people who like to take naps outside during the summer.

And if you look hard enough, you’ll even find furniture that looks like it’s from a high-end retailer, like this impressive CB2 lookalike from Christopher Knight Home, which costs $558 less than the CB2 model.

Best Place to Buy Modern Patio Furniture: Castle

If you’re looking to add a modern touch to your outdoor space, be sure to check out the furniture available at Castlery. You’ll find weather-resistant lounge chairs, outdoor loveseats, dining sets and more for your outdoor space in a variety of materials (acacia wood, aluminum, teak, rattan).

One of our favorite Castlery sets is the Maui Outdoor Loveseat, Two Lounge Chairs, and Acacia Wood Table Set ($2,249, down from $2,646) seen here. You can add a side table or protective cover for an additional fee. We also like the Rio teak line, defined by its modern and angular look. You can get a Rio sofa, lounge chairs, and table set for $4,445. (You can also add individual pieces, like a chaise sofa ($1,299) or an L-shaped sectional sofa ($3,697).

Castlery offers three delivery service options: standard, prime part, and white glove. Standard shipping is free to select cities with a purchase of $999 or more.
