Promising review: "Cart is adorable. Looks great in the courtyard. I am using it to grow pots of herbs. It arrived very quickly and well packaged. It's extremely easy to put together, just attach and tighten eight screws. Everything came in box, plant stand, screws, allen wrench and instructions. Took about five minutes to put together. Really pleased with this product and the seller." —Lorie Katz

Promising review: "These lilies are awesome for several reasons. In daylight they are colorful, look like real flowers and add ambiance, but nothing compared to what happens when the sun goes down. It reminds me of being a kid during a summer night in Disneyland's Magic Kingdom of Disneyland. They are that colorful with such sparkling lights of vibrant color, that the whole back patio comes alive like it has never done before. An excellent product and would recommended." —Kevin Brown

Promising (and very helpful) review: "As others have said, this is a one day project for two folks, better with three. The varnish coating of the wood from the factory is a light coating. I added one coat of marine varnish on top, and it sealed it up very nicely. And looks great. I applied the varnish after the pergola was erected, and it took a good six hours to cover everything. Was also a little scary trying to reach towards the middle when on a ladder to cover the 2x2s. If you are going to paint, it would be much easier to paint before assembly.
When running the 2x2s over the top, it is best to put one screw in the end, then walk the boards one screw at a time. Some come a little warped and curved from the factory. Using a jib and a pry bar, you can walk them straight." —Alligatorsam

Promising review: "I started a miniature gnome collection, little gnome houses, gnomes, windmills, mushrooms, etc. I'm even going to make a river. I'm getting the flower bed ready in the meantime. And then I find this Godzilla! The gnome garden just took a dark turn! I cannot wait for this all to be complete. The Godzilla will be the centerpiece of it all. He is as advertised. About 9" tall. Good details. Not too heavy as he is resin, but will be good for the garden. He makes me laugh every time I look at him. So pleased with this purchase." —RLEnglish

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this torch. It looks good as just a piece of art in the yard. But it is a large tiki torch. And you can put a light inside it for different type of ambient lighting as it has holes in it. I'm going to get the bigger one too. Arrived on time without damage. Easy to put together. You will love the look of it if you like a southwest theme. Fits right in here where I live." —Brenda Taylor

Promising review: "We just moved into a rental town home and needed a patio set that was both beautiful and functional. For the price, this set can not be beat. I love that it is a modular set, and you can arrange it into different configurations. I put this set together by myself, and it took me about two hours. There were some times where the holes didn't match up perfectly, but I found that if you moved the piece a certain way, it fit. No re-drilling required. All in all, for the price, it is a great value." —MissPatron23
Get it from Walmart for $498.89 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "I love this gazebo! The fence defines the space but is not intrusive and LOVE how the serving shelf goes up and down. It was easy to assemble. I watched the assembly video first and it made set up simple and clear. You'll want two people and a step ladder but it went quick. It is very heavy and high quality. It has plenty of places to hang plants and has a spot for a chandelier in the middle. The canopy fits snug, and was a little tricky to get the last side attached, but wasn't too hard. Can't wait to use it this summer and for many years to come!" —Elizabeth G.

Promising review: "They are long — you get 50 feet of awesomeness! I had a party this weekend and got tons of compliments on our string light bulbs! They are big enough to be seen from afar, and give the warm atmosphere outdoors. I got the regular white ones, with the black cord, and glad I did! The light bulbs came wrapped in separate box, and are so far working great!! Highly recommend. Fast shipping and easy assembling. Thank you!!!" —Ms. Mama

Get it from Slate Glass on Etsy for $5.50 (available in 22 colors).
Promising review: "Purchased four of these along with citronella oil to place near our patio table, which sits on one side of our large, rectangular patio. For the price I really wasn't expecting these to be so well made, and for the metal poles to fit together so tightly making them very sturdy. What a wonderful surprise! They are very sturdy (no wobble at all) and when lit the blue glass looks so pretty as the flame casts light over them. I loved them so much I order three more and configured the seven torches evenly around the entire patio. Highly recommend, especially if you are like me and not into the bamboo/wood look of traditional torches, and want something a little snazzier for your outdoor space." —Susan

Promising review: "Placed this fountain outside our front door to provide some zen ambiance. It is very attractive at night when the lights are on - and yes there are lights in the bottom and middle tiers. Water flow is robust even on low setting but sounds just like a small water fall." —Donald

Get it Lil' London Allotment from on Etsy for $40.43.
Promising review: "Worked perfectly. Only took about 30 minutes to install. It is wonderful. We'll probably be purchasing more in different sizes for other areas around the house. Louisiana heat and humidity is a nightmare during the summer. The sun shade is a great way to combat that inexpensively." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Grow With Gracee on Etsy for 15.95+ (available in nine twine colors).
Promising review: "Overall look is great. Be prepared to assemble. It isn't fast. Not hard, but lots of screws. The quality once put together is pretty darn good. This isn't a 5 star resort daybed, but very sturdy. Cushions are good. Smaller sized bed, but that's what we needed. Cushion color is light tan so you'll want to keep it clean with a cover." —Smithone
Get it from Amazon for $659.99.
Promising review: "This outdoor dining set is much nicer than the photo indicates. Each piece is very heavy, and the wood is beautiful. The surface should probably have a few coats of polyurethane to better protect it from stains and outdoor elements. I also bought a cover to protect the set between uses. This set could easily cost twice the amount that I paid for it. Pros: Exceptional beauty of the rustic set, and sturdy for outdoor use. Cons: Could use additional topcoat of polyurethane on wood surfaces." —Marvin
