Promising review: "I have a 3-month-old lab that I wanted to start introducing to water on a hot summer day. It was perfect because 1. He likes to chew everything and this one can't pop and doesn't seem like it would puncture easily. 2. The sides kind of fold down if he was slowly getting in but then I could easily reform it. 3. Super easy set up and clean up. Now I don't have to have a huge ugly plastic pool propped up on the side of my house." —LBella

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

Promising review: "I ordered this on a whim for a camping trip with my family and I’m so glad I did. It was a big hit! It inflated very easily. I just used a fan and it filled up in a few seconds. My nephews (ages 3 and 4) continually ran and jumped on it for hours and it barely lost any air. We were all very impressed with the durability and it was so comfy! I would definitely recommend." —Jennifer FitzGerald

Promising review: "So amazing! 10/10 would recommend. Unboxing is so fast and voila, it's already put together. Just have to unfold it and attach head rest/side table thing. The blue color is vibrant and I've almost fallen asleep on it within these last 20 minutes. Side note: I'm writing this review in it. I may never go back inside my house. But seriously, I cannot wait to bring this to the beach, camping trips, and to have in my backyard at almost all times. Such a wonderful gift for anyone as well." —Kaylee Connor

Promising review: "Me and my husband were looking for something like this product where we can camp out in our backyard at night and be able to stargaze. This product works just perfect. It is lightweight, easy to assemble and bring down, sturdy, and above all serves the purpose. I was amazed how it hold the ground without spokes during one of the nights when there was 15–20 mph wind. We have already used it couple of times and are in love with it." —Drupa Desai

Promising review: "Great set for the price! I needed a smaller chair and table set for my front porch as it is not very wide and this was perfect. Sturdy build and comfortable. Not hard to put together: all pieces were included and the instructions were easy. Can’t wait to sit outside with a cup of coffee and watch the cars drive by." —DEBBIE JACKSON

BestBalconyBars makes...the best balcony bars, whether you're looking for space-saving outdoor furniture or you want to turn your patio into *the* place to be.
Promising review: "Balcony bar top looks great!! I really appreciate the thoughtful labeling of 'glass; as I’m quite certain it would’ve been destroyed otherwise. Light and super easy to install. Popped it on in under one minute. Love it SO much I’m ordering another one. Thank you!" —Jenna

Promising review: "It was an easy setup. We absolutely love the chairs. I would say they are ideal for couple for an evening coffee and a beautiful sunset. We are on the second floor so we have a perfect sunset view. The best thing was there were no tools required to set up; just open the box and unfold the chairs and table. We use the table to have some beautiful plants and the coffee mugs. I am 180 pounds and I can easily sit on the chair; it's sturdy and firm when seated. We are planning to get another set for our other patio for a rental property." —Bharath Kappala

WLOWood is a US-based small business that makes chic, modern wood dog houses and crates.
Promising review: "This little house is fantastic! It is adorable, super high quality, so well made, and the whole construction is meticulously thought out with easy to follow instructions. My cat jumped into it immediately after I finished putting it together (before I even had time to decide where to put it). I also had a custom request that was followed exactly like I wanted. It was very well packed, and shipping was surprisingly very fast. My cats and I LOVE their new house / bed! 😸" —Devan Mickell

Diane's K9 Creations is a small biz based in Camp Lake, Wisconsin making high-quality dog beds, cots, and bed covers.
Promising review: "Very happy with my dog cots and my dogs are too! Exceptional quality, durable, attractive looking, and easy to assemble. They are a bit noisy when my dogs climb on but it doesn't bother me because they don't sleep in our room. Just something to consider if your pet sleeps in your room. The only thing I would suggest is an option to purchase a cover that easily unzips on all sides for quick and easy washing. I know I can just rinse it off outside so it's not a deal breaker, but would be a bonus if I could unzip and toss in the washer. Great communication and friendly seller. Would recommend to others!" —Kelly Tutt

Promising review: "The only problem I have with this chair is that I only have one of them and the whole family now fights over it! Seriously, it is THAT comfortable and relaxing. Pretty easy to put together. My husband got it all assembled in less than an hour and then proceeded to open up a beer and fall asleep in it next to the pool, HA! I like to take my laptop out with me and work in it as the moveable umbrella shades my screen. Love love LOVE it!!" —Erin S

Promising review: "Easy-to-follow directions. If you can assemble IKEA furniture, you can definitely assemble this furniture. The patio set is sturdy and the cushions are soft! If they make a sectional, I’m going to buy it as well." —Ronee Jones

Promising review: "I can't say enough great things about this hammock. I'm 6'2", 280 pounds and this is comfortable for me. If it holds me, it will hold anyone. The umbrella material keeps you cool on those hot days. This is so easy to assemble I would consider bringing it with me for a day at that beach. The price you pay for this setup is worth it. My son and wife were able to sit in this hammock with room to spare. I look forward to spending many days in this hammock." —Colin

Promising review: "Love this chair! Had it outside for two months now and still looks brand new. Easy to put together; I did it myself. It’s surprisingly comfy! (Minimal rocking though.) If you’re looking for that Southern wraparound porch deep rocking-style chair, this ain’t it. But for me it’s sleek, comfortable, and fits on my patio." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Just love these chairs. Quick delivery and easy assembly. I always wanted a front porch and now finally have one at our retirement home in North Carolina. First thing we did was start to search for rockers. We just love them. Purchased the white wood. Finish is attractive and chairs are very sturdy. Silent no cracking sound with our chairs. Hope to be rocking away for many years to come. Since we live in the South, they are outside all the time. No peeling or cracking. Easy to clean spray and wipe." —barbara burke

Promising review: "The hardest thing about attending daylong fencing tournaments? The bleachers. Order a couple of these for me and my hubs. They are easy to carry, easy to set up, easy to break down. I found them very comfortable, both in the back support and under-bum cushioning." —Stephanie Skordas

Promising review: "Great chairs and great value! Bought two of these for my patio. Oversized and very comfortable. They’re also very easy to put together, however check your door width before putting together inside! Fully assembled it would not fit through my sliding door, had to remove the back and reattach once outside." —Amazon Customer

This umbrella doesn't come with a stand, but if you need one, try this one for $44.99 on Amazon.
Promising review: "Nicely packed and easy to assemble. Placed it against a metal stake for strength (against West Texas winds) and raised the umbrella for shade for my outside dog. Works great! Stands up to brisk winds coming across the prairie to the Hill Country. Great investment!" —SMITTY
Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in five colors).
The umbrella comes with a base — just fill it with weights, water, or sand to weigh it down.
Promising review: "Love the umbrella and it was easy to assemble. I use it on upper deck and had to drill into the deck in order for it to remain stable. It’s not going anywhere in any weather and provides the perfect amount of shade." —Consumer
Get it from Amazon for $179+ (also available in khaki).
Promising review: "This the perfect sun shade! I wasn’t sure considering I’ve looked at a lot of these but it is much better then I thought it would be. Super easy to set up, easy to clean, and the perfect amount of shade." —Zach
