Wooden Chair Set With Cushions

This affordable patio furniture could easily pass for a handcrafted set that’s twice the price. The pieces have cozy cabin vibes—particularly the accent table—but still work with modern décor. They’re made of solid acacia wood, and the white cushions finished with piping to elevate the overall look.

4-Piece Patio Furniture Set

This streamlined four-piece patio set is throughly modern in style, though its simple, minimalist design works well with a range of decor.

The seating is covered in a quick-drying UV-resistant fabric— available in both navy blue and a grey hue with a textured look—plus the set includes a tempered-glass-topped accent table. All pieces feature black tubular steel frames that are powder-coated to prevent rust.

Norris Wooden Loveseat with Cushions

We adore this loveseat. The frame is crafted from solid acacia, and the hardwood’s natural grain gives it slightly rustic vibes. But with tailored cushions and the frame’s open sides, it has modern appeal. The cushions are covered in a weather-resistant polyester fabric, and the covers are removable and machine-washable.

Snyder Patio Sofa with Cushions

Those short on patio space will love this petite sofa. Its frame is a fairly standard gray resin wicker, but the navy cushions with white piping—plus the lovely striped accent pillows—make this sectional a standout. The deeply tufted back pillows are another upscale detail. And, bonus: there are other pieces in the collection if you want to add on later.

5-Piece Patio Conversation Set

If you’ve ever settled into outdoor club chairs at a high-end hotel or beach resort, you know just how comfy these spacious seats are.

Bring that blissful feeling to your backyard with this stylish five-piece set, which includes two chairs and two ottomans, along with a small glass-top side table. The set is available with brown or gray all-weather rattan, and includes the off-white cushions and striped throw pillows that add some beachy flair.

Wicker Egg Chair

This lounge chair is eye-catching and comfortable, with an all-weather wicker and steel frame, and four water-resistant ecru cushions. We love the extra details that make this chair look more expensive than it is, like the wicker-wrapped curved legs and the oversized back pillow.

Patio Dining Set with Umbrella

This outdoor dining set features elegant high-back chairs, a nine-foot-wide push-tilt umbrella with eight steel ribs, and a larger table. Another bonus is that the set comes with an umbrella base. The lightweight aluminum-frame chairs are powder-coated and fold for easy storage, plus they offer seven reclining positions.

Jessamine Chairs and Table

Midcentury-inspired chairs paired with a tile-topped accent table is an unexpected but delightful combo. The effect is bit eclectic and adds character and keeps this set from looking too cookie-cutter.

The legs of all three pieces are made of solid and manufactured wood, and the seats feature all-weather cord covering a powder-coated aluminum frame.

4-Piece Outdoor Patio Furniture Set

This sleek and modern patio furniture set may look like it’s out of your price range, but it’s actually relatively affordable considering its quality and design.

It features a rust- and UV-resistant aluminum frame—also available in stunning white—and deep, overstuffed cushions. They’re covered in a breathable mesh fabric, plus they’re removable, so you can easily wipe them down.

Solid Wood Bench and Table

This bench and coffee table set is made of solid acacia wood, with a warm, honey-colored stain. Details like the chevron-cut design and the seat’s slight curve give the pieces a handcrafted look. The table’s angled legs also add modern flair.

The set is weather-resistant and it also comes in both a dark wood and a gray-wash finish. (Note that the throw cushion pictured here is sold separately.)

Patio Furniture Set with Cushions

This reasonably priced patio furniture set features button-tufted cushions covered in a durable olefin fabric. Ties secure the cushions to the set’s powder-coated black steel frames, which boast elegantly curved arms and legs.

The set also includes a glass-topped table, and the cushions come in a choice of peacock blue, beige, and the bright orange-red that’s shown.
