A pack of 16 solar-powered outdoor lights that clip right onto your balcony's ledge. Warm nights spent out on your balcony will be so much nicer when you have proper mood lighting.
Some interlocking teak tiles if you want to easily upgrade your balcony's flooring. No tools or glue are required, the tiles just snap together. Teak is also a preferred wood for all outdoor stuff because of its ability to survive through all types of weather. It is one of the few woods around that contains a natural oil which repels water.
A folding table that snaps right onto your balcony's railing, so no matter how small your space is you can still dine al fresco.
1. A small metal three-piece bistro set with a ceramic decorative design that can squeeze into the tiniest of balconies. Reviewers remark on how sturdy it is, which is great if you have an outdoor space that gets so windy that flimsy furniture sometimes gets knocked over.
2. A black and white outdoor rug so chic it'll instantly transform your patio into the "after" shot on an HGTV backyard makeover show. Not only does it add a touch of pizzazz to your outdoor space, but it's also made from durable materials designed to withstand the elements.

4. A fade-resistant outdoor umbrella so you can relax on your balcony without worrying about harmful UV rays (but remember to always wear sunscreen when your skin's exposed to the sun!). It's got a diameter of 7.5 feet, which can provide shade for a small table and three or four chairs.
5. And a clip-on light for your umbrella, because sometimes a great day on your balcony turns into a great night, and you want to make sure you have the proper illumination.
Note: It has three different brightness settings and requires AA batteries.
Promising review: "This light is great!!! It has three settings, to adjust the amount of brightness you need. Lowest level is great for just sitting around your patio table and having a couple of drinks with friends. Brightest setting is PERFECT for playing cards! We play cards a few times a month. We decided to try and play outside. There are two 70+-year-olds who did not complain that they couldn’t see. So, works great in my book! 😁" —Mandie Jordan
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

12. A powder-coated steel accent table that comes in a plethora of colors to add a pop of color to your balcony's setup. Steel that's powder-coated can withstand the elements way better than steel that is not, so this is a great get if you're looking for longevity.
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

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!!)
