"Heaven In A Chair": 35 Pieces Of Patio Furniture That'll Be The Star Of Your Next Gathering

A hanging hammock chair, a foldable picnic table, a freestanding porch swing, an inflatable ottoman, and other things to give your outdoor space a serious upgrade.

1. A five-piece sectional sofa and table set made with comfy water resistant cushions, durable PE wicker, and tempered glass so it can stand up to the elements and provide you and your guests with an attractive and comfortable spot to relax outdoors.

Promising review: "Absolutely love this couch! Had it for a while at this point, and it really brings my patio together. Had plenty of people come over for cookouts, and everyone compliments me on how comfortable it is and how good it looks! Super easy to assemble, and has lasted me many months so far. Definitely worth the money!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $339.99+ (available in two colors).

2. Or a three-piece PE wicker chair and table set if you don't have a huge patio. It'll provide comfy seating and a convenient place to put drinks and snacks while making your porch look much more stylish than it did before!

This set includes two armchairs with seat cushions and a side table with a tempered glass top.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this set. 😍 I cannot believe the price. It shipped fast and was fairly quick and easy to assemble. It’s a hit. I get so many compliments." —Mrs.Mathews

Get it from Amazon for $101.99+ (available in five colors).

3. A tall table cooler combo in case you need both a high top *and* somewhere to keep your bevvies chilled.

Promising review: "I have received a lot of compliments regarding this little cooler/table and for the price, I'm very happy with the purchase. We were looking for a smaller table to complement our larger patio set. After our last party, I think I may have made a couple of sales for the Keter brand. The cooler kept drinks cold for quite a while especially considering we didn't put much ice in it. The standing feature is nice too. Just lock the table in the open position and you can use it for a tall drink stand which works well. If you're looking for a little table for a patio set OR for a little patio cooler this product can take care of both needs." —Phenom13

Get it from Amazon for $83.96+ (available in two colors).

4. A comfy, zero-gravity canopy swing so you can feel weightless while gently rockin' back and forth in the shade.

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 25–30 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 eight colors).

5. An outdoor bar cart on wheels that comes in four vibrant colors, and is a great spot for putting drinks, snacks, decor, barbecue supplies, and more! Plus, it's made with weather-resistant powder coated steel designed to hold up to the elements for a long time.

Promising review: "This little cart has become indispensable in our grilling area. It is EXACTLY as the picture shows, and after a year of use has held up perfectly — no chips, rust etc. Worth the money!" SC Mom

Get it from Target for $110 (available in four colors).

6. A cool hammock chair you'll love hangin' around in.

It comes with two cushions and installation hardware, and can hold up to 500 pounds!

Promising review: "This came in great shape, it was easy to set up, and it is comfy and sturdy. As a plus-size woman, I was a little concerned about how sturdy it would be, but it is great! I've never felt nervous about hopping into it and staying there right until the mosquitoes come out." —Mal T

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three colors).

7. Or a hammock with a steel stand and carrying case if you don't have a spot to hang a traditional hammock from. Now you can lounge comfortably under the wide-open sky.

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

Long, but worthwhile 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-plus 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 lie 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 $65.72+ (available in a variety of colors/patterns).

8. An amazing outdoor kitchen cart that has a stainless steel top great for meal prep or serving, and a whole lot of open *and* sealed storage space. It includes lockable cabinets ideal for snacks, plates, and other supplies, a handy condiment shelf, a built-in paper towel holder, and four S-hooks perfect for hanging grilling utensils from!

Promising review: "Love it. It is perfect for the deck, our outside 'kitchen'. With it being next to the grill, we can put the extra food we plan on putting on the grill on it along with seasonings. We also put an electric pan on it so we can fry food outside instead of smoking up the house. We keep that pan underneath along with the grilling utensils. Its use is unlimited." —Tracey

Get it from Amazon for $247.

9. Some reclining zero-gravity lounge chairs with attachable cup holders to turn your yard into the ultimate relaxation station. Plus, you can fold them up for easy portability if you wanna take 'em on the go.

Promising review: "Heaven in a chair. Love everything about the zero-gravity chair! This is my first experience sitting in a chair like this... and I love it. I fell asleep outside, and it felt better than a hammock. I bought the beige... love the color. The fabric feels like a tough nylon. It has already rained on my chair, so I can attest that the chair is waterproof. The water beads off the fabric. I dried off the chair easily and effortlessly. The attachable table is adorable and fits perfectly on the frame of the chair. So happy I purchased." —tgi2day

Get a set of two from Amazon for $99.99 (available in a variety of colors).

10. Or an outdoor recliner that includes cushions for extra comfort so you can even take a little snooze at whatever angle you prefer!

Promising review: "We really like the recliner! It was not hard to put it together. It is great for people with longer legs, as the seat is longer. It's easy to recline. We recommend this." —Karen

Get it from Wayfair for $295.99 (available in two colors).

11. A rustic outdoor dining table so you can take your dinner parties out onto the patio whenever you want! It's made with a durable acacia wood top and rugged iron frame for excellent resistance to the elements and a sophisticated look that'll zhuzh up the look of your outdoor space. Plus, it folds up for easy storage!

Heads up that this table does *not* come with the chairs pictured above.

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, 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 $254.

12. Or a picnic table with built-in benches perfect for casual get-togethers with friends and family! Plus, it folds down flat to just three inches thick so you can easily stow it away in between your soon-to-be famous backyard parties.

Promising review: "I bought a large bean bag and I absolutely love it! You will never find this quality in a big box store. It even looks lovely in a formal living area. So versatile and comfortable. I love most that my purchase supports a person/family and NOT corporate conglomerate. I can’t wait to buy more products from My Beachside Style." —Julia O'Neill

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). 

16. Or a larger pub-style outdoor bar set if you tend to entertain bigger groups. This one comes with two low-back bar stools and two high-top chairs for your guests, and the rectangular bar table has hidden shelves in the back for your bartending supplies!

Promising review: "Worth the money! I 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 $359 (originally $399).

17. A cozy egg chair with an incredibly thick and comfy cushion that just might be ~egg-zactly~ what your patio's missing.

Target

Promising review: "We purchased this chair several months ago for our covered deck. It good quality, easy to assemble, and is so comfortable — perfect for relaxing with a good book. We recently moved it inside for the winter, because it's my favorite chair and I don't want to just cover it up for the season. Every time I walk into the room, my dog is sitting in this chair — she has essentially claimed it as her own and I find it hilarious and adorable. 10/10 would recommend." —Verified purchaser

Get it from Target for $600.

18. An outdoor inflatable ottoman that supports up to 300 pounds so it can double as somewhere comfy and cute to put your feet up *and* provide you with extra seating when you have company over!

Just inflate the interior pouf and stick it inside the printed, water-resistant cover.

Promising review: "Love these! Ordered two more. The fabric is very nice and sturdy especially for outdoors. The inflatable part appears to be good quality. How to: Place inflatable inside of cover before inflating it. Do not inflate to full capacity or it will look like an inflatable and will not rest in a nice flat position. Far nicer than I imagined. They look great flanking my outdoor rattan sectional." —Cali g

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in a variety of styles).

19. A three-seater glider porch swing with a large canopy that's bound to be you and your guests' favorite seat.

Promising review: "This swing looks so beautiful on our front patio. It was so easy to assemble. Directions were clear and easy to follow. I love how the seat is longer so it’s comfortable to sit. The fabric is sturdy and nicely made. I am seriously thinking about purchasing one for the backyard to replace my other one. I definitely recommend this swing." —Tammy

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

20. A classic Adirondack chair — it has a reclined wide-slatted seat and backrest great for relaxing around a fire or barbecue.

21. A sturdy woven rope bench that offers a comfy, breathable, and supportive spot to sit — especially on hot days when a steady airflow to your body is a *huge* plus. 

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

Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This is a nice, well constructed patio set. The assembly took me 45 minutes for four chairs and the table. It appears to be made of aluminum. It is well constructed and sturdy. I find the chairs to be comfortable, and there is enough room on table for four people to have a meal or drinks. A few cushions for the seats make the chairs even better. There is a hole in the middle of the table for an umbrella if one chooses to buy one. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase." —TBEventer

Get it from Amazon for $299.99+ (available in two table sizes, two table styles, and four chair styles).

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 seven colors and with or without a cushion).

25. *OR* a small table and four chair set that includes an umbrella so you can have drinks out in the yard without baking in the sun.

My husband put 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.

Promising review: "OMG this is cute and super easy to assemble. I got the red and kinda wish I had gotten the blue... oh but all the colors are so cute!! Debating buying a second one so each porch chair has its own table. This really is so incredibly versatile. I could see it on a porch, as a minimalist side table, in a kid's room, a place to keep plants... I wouldn't put anything tremendously heavy on it, but as far as tables at this price go, this is the best!" —Meghan McD

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in a variety of colors).

35. And finally, an outdoor canopy chair and ottoman set for making you feel like royalty. Put your feet up, sip on a cold beverage, and even invite your partner over — this chair can cozily seat two!

Promising review: "This chair has such a unique look, really completes the 'tropical retreat' feel of my balcony. The oversized 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 $349 (originally $449).
