The 19 Best Outdoor Furniture Stores to Buy Your Dream Patio At

Arhaus is contemporary luxury through and through. There’s a lot of good stuff on its site, but we really love the brand’s outdoor sectionals. Pieces like those found in the Beaumont collection give you big villa living.

The styles lean modern, but it's all very approachable. You could replace your cheaper outdoor furniture one piece at a time and nothing would look out of place.

No reason to be coy about it—it’s right there in the name: Outer only makes things for the time you spend outside. And behind its great furniture with coastal charm is a responsible manufacturing process that respects the environment.

One thing we like in particular from Outer is the bundles. You can save 20 percent on a firepit and a sectional or a full dining set when you buy the pieces together.

It’s tough to choose, but we think Soho Home makes the best-looking furniture for outdoor living on the market. The brand has recently expanded its outdoor line with designs from the Soho House locations in Rome, Nashville, the English countryside, and elsewhere.

It’s all vintagey. It’s all strikingly beautiful. It’s furniture for living your Alain Delon and Jane Birkin La Piscine dream (minus the murder investigation). Anyway, we’re in love with it.

We know and love Wayfair for its in-home furniture, but its outdoor furniture is just as good—some might say even better. While there’s no shortage of anything on the site, it’s particularly useful for buying outdoor dining sets or other furniture that has to seat a family gathering on the weekend.

It’s literally in the name: This is where you go for capital-D design. You can shop modern-design heavy hitters like Knoll, Herman Miller, and HAY. Or you can choose from DWR’s own line of outdoor furniture. Either way, you’ll be giving your space an If you know, you know design factor.

Etsy is your digital traveling antique market. Everything you might get from one of those shows—custom furniture, antiques, and ratty old tchotchkes—is available on the site. I especially love it for outdoor furniture because there’s a lot of folksy stuff. You can spend all day scrolling through rocking chairs and porch swings. Perhaps more up your alley, though, are options like this custom-made cedar outdoor chaise. Or if that price is too steep for you, look up DIY woodworking sets, and there are plenty of options on the site.

West Elm is very good at seating families and other large groups of people but doing it in a stylish way. Its outdoor stuff is simple but tasteful. Lots of water-resistant wood and expandable tables. It’s the kind of place you want to shop when you have a big outdoor barbecue coming up, because your guests will leave impressed.

A lot of "weatherproof" outdoor sets are actually just weather resistant. But Tupelo Goods makes true weatherproof furniture, and no brand’s outdoor chairs are more resilient.

Made in the U.S.A., the chairs come in modern high-design shapes, but they’re crafted by designers dedicated to durability. They’re molded from marine-grade polyethylene, so they’re the easiest chairs you’ll ever have to care for. Leave them in the sun, let them get rained on, and hose them down when they’re dirty. They can even be used as in-pool chairs.

If you want good-looking outdoor furniture inspired by mid-century design, CB2 will always be our pick. It’s minimalist, with clean lines and high-quality materials that make it the focus of any outdoor space. Think a teak seating set with exposed frames or a concrete dining table with rounded metal chairs. This is furniture made for a modern villa.

It might sound out of your design wheelhouse, but it’s not. Everything in the collection is pretty muted, so there’s plenty here to fit most existing outdoor decors.

Yes, Amazon. Bezos & Co. doesn’t curate its outdoor furniture offerings the way the other stores on this list do, but man, is there a whole lot to choose from.

Come to Amazon when you need an affordable dining or lounge set, when you need something quickly, or when you have no idea what you’re doing and just need a damn outdoor chair, now.

Lulu and Georgia’s outdoor selection is beige and beachy. The look is a little trendier than most outdoor furniture, making the brand great for those who want to elevate their outdoor space. There are a lot of cool fabrics, playful shapes, and dramatic outdoor dining tables. It’s a vibe.

Terrain’s outdoor furniture is like that of your aunt who lives in Santa Fe. That said, it nails a really difficult design challenge: The brand is bohemian but grown-up, soft but not too feminine. It’s a look that works really well for outdoor furniture, especially if you’re into natural materials and funky lighting options.

Similar to Terrain is Anthropologie, which actually stocks a lot of pieces from Terrain. Overall, though, there’s more to choose from at Anthropologie, and it’s a great place for adding some fun pieces to your outdoor space. A jade-green bistro table here, a ceramic side table there... It all fits in easier than you’d expect.

When it comes to simple, good-looking furniture, no one is beating Burrow. The brand offers a handful of sectionals, dining sets, and lounge chairs. It all looks good and fits the same vibe. Plus, the company uses great weatherproof fabrics, so its pieces are easy to take care of. If you don’t want to fuss over your patio furniture, go to Burrow.

The only thing we have to note is that you need to assemble your Burrow couch. That means one couch comes in a million boxes. It’s easy assembly, but it is assembly.

For those who live anywhere up or down the California coast—or near a body of water generally—Jenni Kayne Home makes some of our favorite beach-house outdoor furniture. It’s all done in teak with mute charcoal and off-white upholstery. The collection is tight, so you won’t find yourself overwhelmed with options, either.

The only thing to note is that you’ll want to care for this stuff more carefully than other brands. The cushions and frames are decently weather resistant, but don’t let them get rained on. And take care of the teak wood frames.

If Jenni Kayne is our West Coast pick, then of course we’re doing an East Coast pick, and for that, there’s no brand better than L.L.Bean. It’s rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, and garden dining sets. If you’re looking to build an Ina Garten in the Hamptons space, or just aspiring to it, go for the classics.

Castlery is another brand that just nails the outdoor look. Teaks in sharp-cornered shapes and wavy wickers—it’s all inviting, and it’s all easy to take care of. It’s more expensive than the stuff on Amazon but more affordable than most of the other options on this list. Honestly, in terms of value, it’s our favorite place to shop.

Certainly you’ll be able to entertain with any of these outdoor-furniture options, but Sundays makes the best pieces for entertaining. There are loungers with attached side tables, comfortable chaises for guests to flop down on, and even some fun colorful stools. It’s all fun, comfortable, and easy to care for.

We can tell you what’s cool, but we cannot tell you what’s perfect for your space. Here’s a flow chart of considerations.

Furniture you already have: Is there something you want to keep? An heirloom rocking chair or deck swing? We love sentimentality, so build around that piece.

The aesthetic you want: The best example here is Jenni Kayne versus L.L.Bean. The first is distinctly West Coast and the second East Coast. Do you want to go all in on one brand or look? Or do you want to mix and match? If it’s the latter, steer toward brands that make simple furniture that fits with everything.

The space you have: Don’t get a big, beautiful sectional from Arhaus if you don’t have the space. And if you have the space, you don’t need a space-saving option from West Elm.

The statement piece: If you don’t want to have fun, take your sensitive ass back inside to interior design! You’re using outdoor furniture to entertain, so we say go bold. Whether bold for you is a curvy modern chair from Tupelo, funky furniture from Soho Home, or a fancy design-forward pick from Design Within Reach, we like it all.
