The 25 best outdoor furniture finds on Amazon, according to design experts

If you’re looking for cozy outdoor seating, Morgan DiRocco, cofounder and designer at Kindred Interior Design, loves this sofa because it’s sleek, clean and comfortable. “It brings that feeling of a cozy living room outdoors, which is so often overlooked for functionality,” she says. “This provides both function and fashion in an attractive way.”

“This modern set is something out of a high-end design magazine,” says Lisanin. “It includes a five-seat sofa and two round coffee tables, providing a versatile seating arrangement that can be configured to suit various outdoor spaces, whether it's a porch, balcony or patio.”

Kath Meier of Virtual Landscape Design says online shoppers should focus on durability, and her top pick is the Clare View Outdoor Sofa. “The sofa features a eucalyptus wood frame and comes with the throw pillows, which is a nice touch,” she says, adding that since the cushions are treated with a protective coating, it’s “a great choice for families and forever homes.”

“This outdoor sofa combines comfort and style with its plush cushions and sleek design,” says Lisanin. “The weather-resistant fabric and sturdy construction make it a durable choice.” Plus, it’s made in a neutral color palette, which makes it easy to match with other patio decor, and comes with a slip-on tray that acts as convenient table space.

“Adding a note of interest to your outdoor space makes it more enticing for people to spend time there,” says DiRocco. “This is the perfect chair to place in a corner that might be too small for a set of chairs, making it suitable for a private space for someone to curl up with a good book on a nice day or enjoy a glass of wine on a summer evening.”

Unlike the classic wood version, this Adirondack chair is made from recycled plastic, offering durability and environmental friendliness. “It features a classic design with a contoured seat and back for added comfort,” says Lisanin, adding that “the UV-resistant material ensures it won't fade or crack.”

Who doesn’t love swaying gently in a hammock? Decorilla lead interior designer Joyce Huston certainly does, and the adjustable Vivere Double Hammock, which comes in 17 colors, is her hammock of choice. “This double hammock is made from durable, weather-resistant material and gives us a comfortable spot for an afternoon nap or for reading a book,” she says.

“This chaise lounge is highly adjustable, offering multiple reclining positions for optimal comfort,” says Lisanin. “It's made from rust-proof aluminum and features a UV-resistant mesh, ensuring durability and longevity.”

If you don’t have a ton of room for bulky furniture, Huston says this is her favorite set for small spaces or balconies. “You can fold the chairs for easy storage,” she says, “and the umbrella will provide the perfect shade for those sunny days.”

According to Meier, you can never have an outdoor table that’s too big. But if you don't have unlimited space, this seven-piece all-weather set is a crowd-pleaser with her clients (especially for a garden setting). “Our key tip is to look for dining sets that are aesthetically pleasing, durable and function as you need,” she says.

Wicker furniture can add a rustic and summery feel to your patio, says Zach Dannett, furniture industry vet and cofounder of Tumble rug company. “This outdoor dining set has a great design and already comes with seat cushions,” he says. “I also like the mix of the neutral beige wicker with the dark solid steel hardware.”

If you’re shopping with family gatherings in mind, this acacia wood dining set includes a table with a hide-away butterfly leaf, a bench, four X-back chairs and UV-treated cushions. “The modern design and weather-resistant materials make it a durable and stylish choice,” says Lisanin. “The mix of seating options adds versatility to your patio dining experience.”

“Most of our clients are families or have pets, so safety is a must when looking for an outdoor fire table,” says Meier. “This larger Fire Pit Surround Tabletop instantly creates an inviting experience for friends and family to gather around. We also love that it features a 360-degree protective barrier for wagging tails and small hands, and also provides a surface for drinks and snacks.”

Lisanin is all about the versatility of this propane gas fire pit table, since it doubles as a coffee table for your patio. “It features a wicker design with a durable aluminum frame and a stainless steel burner,” she says. “The included glass wind guard and lava rocks enhance the aesthetic appeal.”

“This fire pit is awesome because it’s a traditional fire pit with a built-in steel grate for grilling,” says Huston. “It’s one of my favorites because it lets me enjoy the warmth of the fire while also giving me the option to grill outdoors.”

According to Lisanin, this smoke-free fire table with push-button spark ignition is perfect for creating a cozy ambiance on your patio. “It features a beautiful espresso brown finish and a high-quality steel frame,” she says. “The propane tank is neatly hidden, and the adjustable flame allows you to control the heat output.”

This handwoven set includes a bar table and two stools, making it ideal for small spaces. “The wicker design and glass tabletop add a stylish touch, while the shelves provide ample storage for drinks and accessories,” says Lisanin.

For a modern take on the traditional rocking chair, check out this three-piece set with a tempered glass coffee table. “It’s perfect for relaxing on your porch or patio,” says Lisanin. “It features a sturdy steel frame and a comfortable, cushioned seat.”

“We find conversation and bistro sets are usually used in a small area such as an apartment patio or in large gardens where clients can just go and sit with a book,” says Meier. She calls this wicker set a “great choice,” and loves that it comes with a footrest.

This umbrella has you covered when it comes to providing shade on sunny days with its durable fabric that’s UV-resistant, waterproof and comes in 17 colors. “It also features a crank mechanism for easy opening and closing, and the tilt function allows you to adjust the angle of the shade,” says Lisanin.

This weather-resistant piece makes the most out of your outdoor space by bringing double the function: It serves as a side table for drinks and a cooler that can keep 55 cans cool for up to 12 hours. “We are loving these incognito coolers that look like stone tables,” says DiRocco. “We love how this table has a rustic stone look to it, and not to mention the convenience of having an ice-cold drink at your fingertips!”

“When it comes to umbrellas, we look for how it looks and how we can use it within the yard,” says Meier. “The Outdoor Cantilever Umbrella is perfect for the patio, by the pool or just over a sun lounge. We love the color options, and that it’s very easy to [move] around as well as put up/down.”

Pro tip: Storage is essential when it comes to finding the perfect pieces for your backyard. Marisa Bettencourt, interior designer and founder of North + Fair Interior Design, loves that this outdoor kitchen cart has plenty of space to stash away grilling gear, coals for the BBQ and anything else that might be an aesthetic eyesore. “The cart has a wood-like appearance but is made from a durable resin material that prevents weathering and fading from the sun, which is common with other pieces made of genuine wood,” she says.

“This cantilever umbrella provides a large shaded area, perfect for covering dining sets or lounge areas,” says Lisanin. “The sturdy construction and fade-resistant fabric ensure durability while the crank and tilt system make it easy to adjust for optimal shade coverage.”
