1. A sweet three-piece sectional and table set that may or may not tempt you to lounge outside all day long (you've been warned). The chaise is detachable, so you can enjoy it as a three-person lounger or as a smaller two-piece set.
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).
2. A genius side table because you obviously need a place for drinks and snacks. It also doubles as a cooler for storing all your ice-cold beverages! You won't have to go back inside for hours.
Promising review: "What a cool use of space, and it's a great match for our outdoor set. I store sunscreen and other items when not entertaining. There’s a reason thousands of people purchase this. It’s a functional cool piece." —Mamma 4
Get it from Amazon for $81.41+ (available in four colors and three styles).
3. A hanging hammock chair if you want nothing but chill vibes in your backyard. As soon as you step foot outside, you'll want to curl up in this cocoon-like structure and ~hang~ out with a good book or playlist.
This swinging hammock chair comes with two cushions and installation hardware.
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).
4. Or, a double cotton hammock when hanging one isn't an option — this comes with a sturdy steel stand that does all the heavy lifting for you.
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 $69.99+ (available in 19 colors).
5. A gas fire pit table because is any backyard setup really complete without one? It even comes with a glass lid so you can use it as a table when the fire isn't going.
Promising review: "My favorite purchase for our deck. I LOVE this fire table. Good size, great value compared to what is out there. Packaged nicely. My husband put it together alone in 30–45 minutes with no frustration and easy-to-follow directions. Puts out a decent amount of heat. Enough rocks to adequately cover. Just add your propane tank. I love that it has a lid as well. You will find sturdier fire tables, but not at this price. Excellent value." —MGF
Get it from Amazon for $148.99.
6. A comfy love seat and coffee table set *with* hidden storage for pillows, blankets, and anything else you don't want to leave out. When you're not using it, the coffee table/ottoman can be stored under the seat! Who doesn't love space-saving outdoor furniture?
Promising review: "I am pleased with this product so far. The cushions are comfy and it's a good height for sitting. Assembly was easy and didn't take long. I can't wait to enjoy more days on my porch with this set." —Kathrin Blosser
Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in three colors).
7. A zero-gravity canopy swing to ensure the outside cozy vibes are off the charts while also providing ample shade from the overly bright sun.
Promising review: "We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note... If you take care of your things — i.e. cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — It will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable and made very well!! And it only took my hubby and I 25 to 30 minutes to put together. Take my word for it... you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" —Marash
Get it from Amazon for $219.99+ (available in nine colors).
8. A three-piece bistro set for having drinks, snacks, or both when you're spending time outside! This set's unique modern design will have all your guests asking where you got it.
This set includes two chairs and a table with a tempered glass top.
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 pouf 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 $169.99+ (available in five colors).
9. A compact outdoor bar set so you can create the tiki bar of your dreams! There are four shelves in the back for storing beverage supplies, so you can show off your impeccable bartending skills without continuously running back to the kitchen.
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).

The set comes with two low-back bar stools, two high-top chairs, and a bar table with a tempered glass top.
Promising review: "Worth the money! Was looking for a pub-style table with four chairs. This is a decent set for the money. The two lower back chairs are wider at the base but you can't lean back. The two chairs with a back are narrower at the base but are pretty comfortable." —Mada
Get it from Walmart for $399.
11. A picnic table with three built-in benches for sitting down and sharing a meal with fam and friends. Each bench can comfortably seat two people, so six of you can get together and chow down on some BBQ.

Get it from Amazon for $179.99.
12. Or, a rustic folding outdoor dining table when you're hosting dinner parties and want to make sure there's enough space for everyone. It's made of strong acacia wood and rugged iron, so it'll look chic and hold up well in the backyard.
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 $187.19.

Promising review: "I am super excited to share my feelings on these chairs! After doing a lot of research, I decided to go with these, and I am so glad I went with these! These are without exaggeration the best beach chairs I have ever lounged in. They come fully assembled, with the exception of the side drink rest, which is very easy to pop on. These fold up quite compactly and are very easy to transport. And these are so comfortable! When lounging in these chairs, I am incredibly relaxed. I look forward to lounging on the beach or in the backyard in these chairs. I have been a broken record telling everyone how wonderful these chairs are. You cannot go wrong if you go with these chairs!" —Bobby D

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

Promising review: "Once it was together and everything was tightened, it feels very sturdy and well made. It fits our deck perfectly. I know some of the reviews mentioned it was small and it is, but that’s what we wanted. Neither of us our particularly tall and our deck is only 10x11 so we didn’t want something huge. It’s perfect for our space. It’s lightweight so I like that we can move it easily from the deck to the front porch or into the yard. We just put it together last night so we will have to see about longevity but for now we are very happy." —Brooke A. Bailey

Definitely worth the money!" —Amazon Customer
