Promising review: "Perfect size for our quaint balcony space in our condo building. The vibrant chartreuse color couples perfectly with our retro robin egg door. Lightweight, already assembled, and super easy to clean. The price makes this set a no brainer (it's cheaper than Target and CB2, but equal in quality). Awesome summer buy." —Nouvelle Mere

Get the set from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in eight colors).

The Inside is a small home furnishings brand that partners with heritage design brands like Scalamandré and Old World Weavers. Once you buy a cabana chair, you can also buy extra slings (for $29+) that way you can periodically change up the fabric/print.

Promising review: "This chair has come with me to the beach, it pops out on a sunny day in my backyard, and it stores easily in my garage — it’s a nice weather must have!" —Patricia A.

Get it from The Inside for $129+ (available in 78 colors/prints or get the cabana set that comes with the stool for $179+).

Promising review: "This is an absolutely gorgeous bench! The rope/wood are even more beautiful in person. It was also (besides a couple awkwardly placed screws) very easy to assemble. I’m not great with putting things together and had no problem doing it by myself. It also arrived very quickly, which was an unexpected bonus. I love it!" —A reader

Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This set is beautiful, good quality — especially for the price and so sleek and bold looking! I ordered this twice because I was so thrilled with the first set I ordered!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $139.98.

It comes with the L-shaped sofa sectional and the side table, which has a tempered glass top.

Promising review: "I’m shocked by how comfortable this is. It has more cushion to it than my couch. I’m someone who will spend hours on my patio for meetings and such. I put it together by myself. The trick is to put the screws all in before tightening them, otherwise it will seem like they don’t fit. Put the screws in and twist a few times. Once you have them all in, then go back and tighten them. Trust me, it’ll save you doing extra work. This set is actually bigger than I expected, table included. Very pleased with this purchase." —Brooke D

Get it from Amazon for $299.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "This chair has such a unique look, really completes the 'tropical retreat' feel of my balcony. The oversize seat is really comfortable and the ottoman allows one to stretch out. I was able to assemble it in a reasonable amount of time by myself; even the canopy that many complain about. It is definitely a tight fit, but once it is stretched into place, it isn't going anywhere — even in our typically breezy afternoons. I wish it had a higher back and that the ottoman could be slid under the chair, but I can work around those issues." —RhondaMarie

Get it from Walmart for $449.

Promising review: "Really love this sofa and set. Comfy. The cushions are very firm and surprisingly comfortable. It sits low to the floor. Cannot complain. Fits the space perfectly." —Cindy

Get it from Wayfair for $539.99+ (available in three frame colors and five cushion colors).

Promising review: "When I came across these Adirondack chairs, I immediately loved the bright blue color option that they had. The vibrant color was the perfect addition to bring some life and fun to our backyard patio area. I was also surprised with how quickly my husband was able to assemble the chair when it arrived using the easy to follow instructions. The chair seems very sturdy, durable, and high quality that it should be able to last being outdoors year round without showing wear and tear. I’m excited to enjoy many evenings outside with our friends and family enjoying the new furniture!" —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $164.99+ (available in six colors and in sets of two or four).

Best Balcony Bars is a woman-owned small business in Colorado that makes custom balcony bar tops.

Promising review: "Beautiful, hand-crafted, custom-fit to my railing. Creator is great to deal with on a custom piece. Everyone compliments it. I eat or have drinks on it every day and prefer it to eating at my dining room table! The second tier is ideal serving dishes, glasses, bottles, and the main tier is ideal for main dishes, computers, and notebooks while optimizing my patio functionality and keeping me at my serene view throughout my day. Great custom piece!" —Travis Horn

Get it from Best Balcony Bars on Etsy for $205.95+ (available in two sizes and four stains).

Patio Wise Store is a Minnesota-based small business that specializes in indoor and outdoor furniture for the home.

Get it from Patio Wise Store on Etsy for $175.94.

Promising review: "It's gorgeous and fits perfectly on my porch! The quality is excellent and it can hold a decent amount of stuff." —Sheila

Get it from Wayfair for $112.99 (originally $169.99).

The swing comes with chains but if you love the look of the reviewer's setup above, you'll want to pick up some burlap covers.

Promising review: "I am obsessed with my porch swing and impressed with the quality of this product. I've had the swing for about a month now and it looks like new even though it has been through some heavy rain. The customer service is top notch as well. I have high ceilings and needed additional chain links, I emailed them and got it within two days. Can’t say enough about this product and the customer service. Highly recommended!" —YP

Get it from Amazon for $118.99+ (available in five styles).

Promising review: "This table set is awesome! I LOVE that the two accent tables fit neatly under the coffee table when not in use. They are sturdy, yet lightweight and easy to move around which is great because there are so many different ways to arrange them. Such a fun set of three tables!" —TechyMom

Get it from Target for $275 (get the chair here and the loveseat here).

Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel.

Promising review: "Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The setup/take down is super easy and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300+ pounds in it. The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position... no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it... no problem. It works great as a traditional hammock to lay in. It works as a 'swing' to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you're cold or want to block out light or bugs. We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times and it dries great, hasn't faded from the sun, hasn't had any mold, and hasn't developed any weird smell.

Things not to love: Nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat." —Mary

Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in 19 colors).

Promising reviews: "Very sturdy and nice quality for the money paid!! Not difficult to assemble. Small table though it does fit six adults. Practical and looks good!!" —Theo Botis

"We love this little table! It is comfortable and easy to move if needed. Bring on the home picnics!" —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $179.99 (available in light brown or walnut).

This table does *not* come with chairs as pictured above, so be sure to pick up a set of indoor/outdoor chairs if you need 'em.

Promising review: "For the price, it can't be beat. The table I received is by far the best 'budget' furniture item I have ever bought. It's not a cheap piece of junk that you would expect for the price by any means. It feels and looks like quality furniture. It's sturdy, easy to assemble, and looks fantastic. The packing was great and it had all the hardware (plus some extra). I'm kind of baffled." —Travis Longo

Get it from Amazon for $238.76.

Promising review: “This chair and ottoman is soooooooo cute!!!! It feels just like a lounge chair by the way you sit on here. It is very comfortable! It could be indoors or outdoors. It is very sturdy for being a wicker chair.” —Chinagurll

Get it from Target for $500.

FiveMetalDesign is a Wisconsin-based small business creating metal ring fire pits featuring intricate designs.

Promising review: "Such an amazing firepit!! Excellent quality made with heavy duty material. Precise cutout design. I’ve had so many people ask where I got this because everyone loves it! So glad I bought it." —jashmorehouse

Get it from FiveMetalDesign on Etsy for $196+ (available in four sizes).

It comes with a bar table and two cushioned stools.

Promising review: "We ordered two of these outdoor bars for our patio. They look so great put side by side to create one long bar. I searched online for days and found this item to be the best value (as each bar comes with two stools, cushions, and the glass top). The instructions could have been a little more helpful, but it was fairly easy to figure out. The bar is very sturdy, and the shelving inside is great for extra storage. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to improve your outdoor space, this bar is the perfect addition!" —Debbie M

Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in four styles).

Beach State is a small business specializing in premium, high-quality beach umbrellas.

Check out a TikTok of the umbrella in action.

Promising review: "This umbrella is exactly what my family was looking for as our everyday beach umbrella — large diameter, high quality, and cute retro design. It is a higher end umbrella but still slightly less expensive than the other big name designer beach gear company that we were considering. It is easy to pop up and stays standing, and we’ve had many compliments from other people at the beach asking where we got it. The customer service from the company was excellent. Would definitely recommend these umbrellas!" —Taryn

Get it from Beach State on Amazon for $165 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "Love these chairs!! They are beautiful, super comfortable, and incredibly made." —ShannonS

Get it from Target for $199.99.

Get it from The Original Tree Swing on Etsy for $165+ (available in four rope lengths)

Get it from Target for $285.

Promising review: "Back to basics — simple, chic, and comfortable. Perfect addition for the backyard, porch, anywhere you'd like to lounge. There were no installation directions, but they do provide a number of options to work with based on your needs." —afytasuki

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This has great quality, is simple to assemble, and is easy to move. I chose this style because one of my dogs likes to sleep on top of our family room coffee table. Now he can use the bottom shelf on this one and leave the top for us." —tripedalpower

Get it from Amazon for $173.

Promising review: "I LOVE this patio set!! I cannot say enough good things about it. It was so easy to assemble, no nails or screws required. It is very sturdy (a few wobbles but not enough to be annoying) and looks so beautiful! The cushions are super comfy and it is also very well made. So happy with my purchase and highly recommend!" —Megan

Get the set from Amazon for $264.24.

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this egg chair! I'm so happy I purchased this item! It was relatively easy to put together. I put the base part together all by myself and the seat part I had help. It took us about an hour or so in total to put both pieces together. The chair is so comfortable to sit in!" —Donna

"Perfect place to curl up and read a book. It has been on our uncovered patio for over a year now and has held up to the weather perfectly well." —Katie

Get it from Wayfair for $269.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "We bought this two years ago, and I always appreciate reviewers who've had the product awhile so you can get a feel for how it holds up over time. First, the sofa materials are good quality. The cushions are stiff but comfortable, and they retain their form well over time. We got the cushions in white, and the canvas-y material repels dirt and is easy to spot clean (really, wipe, since it doesn't take much). The frame is sturdy and rigid, and the faux wicker looks as good as the day we bought it — no loose pieces, as can sometimes happen with lower quality products. This sofa is a steal for the price. It looks a lot like much more expensive outdoor sofas, at a quarter of the cost." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $564.78+ (available in three cushion colors).

Promising review: "A great modern take on the classic picnic table. It assembled pretty easily and we found all the hole cut-outs to be nearly precise. It comes nicely packaged and easy to get out of the box. It looks great in the garden and wipes clean easily. A little pricey for what it is, but has delivered on what we wanted." —GustyGardener

Get it from Amazon for $385.99.

Promising review: "Wonderfully sturdy, heavy, and well made. The wind will not blow these pieces anywhere. Beautiful plaster work. I love this set and have gotten so many compliments on it. Perfect for a small space, and the chairs fold up easily when not in use." —Laurie Pitman

Get it from Amazon for $179.69.

Promising review: "It was easy to assemble in 30 minutes. The cushions feel quality, the frame is sturdy, and it looks just like the picture. As others have said, the bottom cushions are firm, but the back ones are squishier. My husband took a nap on it the first day. If we had room, we would buy the chairs too. Very happy!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $379.99+ (available in gray cushions/black frame or light gray cushions/white frame).

Promising review: "Easy to setup! Cushions are very comfortable and I love that the bottom cushion ties to the chair. The perfect size for our townhome balcony." —mads16

Get it from Target for $162+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. Construction seems sturdy. Dimensions and style were perfect for the small patio space I was looking to get use out of, and the egg shape of the chairs is very comfortable. I paired them with a seagrass outdoor rug, faux fur chair pads, a beanbag style poof footstool and some boho throw pillows, and love how the space was instantly transformed. I highly recommend this set." —Baby blues

Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in three colors).
