My backyard now looks like it was styled by a designer, thanks to these chic and unexpected best outdoor furniture finds at Amazon

Seats: 2 Dimensions: 26" x 27.5" x 31" Materials: acacia, rattan, polyester Assembly: yes

This bistro set brings elevated patio furniture without the price. It's made from quality acacia wood and rattan, and the beige cushions are included too. The crossbeam on the included side table is great for modern farmhouse looks.

Seats: 2 Dimensions: 25" x 25" x 35" Materials: all-weather wicker Assembly: yes

I think this smaller set is perfect for a front porch or a balcony. The all-weather wicker construction is lightweight and breathable, and the glass tabletop should keep the table intact for several years. Plus I love the boho style.

Seats: 2 Dimensions: 31" x 19.5" x 36" Materials: cedar Assembly: yes

There's no piece of outdoor furniture like an Adirondack. These low-slung chairs are iconic staples of American design, and this is the best-value set I've seen. Made from hard-wearing cedar, these will hold up better than a lot of other Adirondacks I've found, which are made from indoor woods like hemlock. They also fold for easy storage.

Seats: 2 Dimensions: 27.5” x 31.1” x 35” Materials: PE wicker, steel, polyester Assembly: yes

I adore these chairs – if I were to buy any on this list, it would be these. They offer all the soft comfort of a classic egg chair but none of the hassle of hanging or building a base. The covers are water-resistant, so they make a great option for furnishing a pool area.

Seats: 2 Dimensions: ‎26.8" x 22.5" x 19.3" Materials: PE wicker, powder-coated steel, polyester Assembly: yes

More contemporary spaces would benefit from this sleek black set. Made from powder-coated steel, it's very unlikely to rust, and the rope back is supportive but breathable. However, while reviewers love the value and comfort, some have noted that the cushions are more off-white than they appear in the promo photos.

Seats: 2 Dimensions: ‎25.98” x 24.01”x 33.89” Materials: PE wicker, powder-coated steel, polyester Assembly: yes

I already love the modern wicker design of this set, but I especially love the included ottomans, which will make relaxing in summer evenings even more comfortable. It's rare to find a quality five-piece set at this price point.

Seats: 6 Dimensions: 110" x 55" x 25" Materials: steel, PE rattan Assembly: yes

This set is exactly why it pays off to shop on Amazon. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price of this 7-piece, super customizable, and easy-to-clean conversation set. Best of all, it comes highly recommended, with hundreds of glowing reviews.

Seats: 4 Dimensions: 54.5" x 34.5" x 27.5" Materials: acacia, polyester Assembly: yes

I'm amazed to find a sectional of this quality on Amazon. Made from acacia, this sectional has built-in side tables, as well as a gorgeous wooden side table. The cushions – also available in cream – are included too, but bear in mind that they aren't waterproof.

Seats: 2 Dimensions: 35" x 56" x 37" Materials: eucalyptus, polyester Assembly: yes

This elegant loveseat looks like it should cost three times as much. Made from treated eucalyptus, this sofa is perfect for making a reading nook in a quiet corner of your yard. The throw pillows pictured above are even thrown in too.

Seats: 12 Dimensions: 37" x 29" x 30.3" Materials: PE wicker, steel, polyester Assembly: yes

If you're entertaining a crowd, you can't go far wrong with this set. It seats a whopping 12 people, if you include the two comfortable ottomans. The cushion covers are also waterproof.

Seats: 5-6 Dimensions: ‎29" x 29" x 25.75" (corner chair) Materials: Powder-coated steel frame, resin wicker Assembly: yes

Reviewers love this stylish outdoor sectional sofa set that includes 2 corner chairs, 4 armless chairs, and 1 glass-top coffee table. Offering flexibility and many layout combinations, it is easily assembled by one person and looks super comfy.

Seats: 2 Dimensions: ‎67" x 36" x 47.5" Materials: PE rattan, polyester Assembly: yes

If you want as much functionality as possible, it's hard to beat this loveseat/daybed hybrid. It reclines from a sofa into a day bed, it has built-in, retractable side tables, as well as an ottoman that's perfect for storing blankets for nights out under the stars.

Seats: 6 Dimensions: 59.05" x 35.43" x 29.33" Materials: steel, rattan, acacia Assembly: yes

This simple set seats six, but best of all, it has a remarkably low price. It's rare to get so much furniture for under $400, and the acacia table top and armrests should mean that this set lasts longer than other sets at this price point. The only drawback I've spotted for this set is that it takes a long time to assemble – at least two hours.

Seats: 6 Dimensions: 60" x 38" x 28" Materials: metal Assembly: yes

I think this is the best value set I've found. Unlike the other sets, it includes a huge double parasol to keep you cool and shaded as the temperatures start to rise. My only warning is that some people found the quality a little lacking so be sure to read recent reviews.

Seats: 6 Dimensions: 60" x 60" x 29" Materials: metal, acacia Assembly: yes

I really love the contrast of the dark acacia wood against these deep blue cushions. This set is great for more rural homes, or for next to a pool. Best of all, it comes in under $700, which is rare for wooden outdoor furniture of this quality.

Seats: 6 Dimensions: 63" x 36.7" x 28.7" Materials: PE wicker and stainless steel Assembly: yes

For a more modern farmhouse look, try this set. Made from PE wicker and stainless steel, the set is lightweight but hard-wearing, perfect for more variable climates to keep your patio set in perfect condition regardless of the weather. 

Seats: 6 Dimensions: 57"-59'' x 35.5" x 30" Materials: acacia Assembly: yes

Acacia has long been my secret weapon when it comes to shopping for outdoor furniture. It has most of the benefits of teak – light, hard-wearing, water-resistant – without the cost or ethical dilemmas. This set also has an extendable table, so you can play with your space.

Seats: 8 Dimensions: 60" x 60" x 29" Materials: metal Assembly: yes

This set seats eight people but it still comes in below the $1000 mark. The simple metal construction should be easy to maintain, and all it needs as a finishing touch is a few garden cushions to make it extra comfortable.

An outdoor rug like this can be the missing piece of the puzzle for a social space. If you don't like the look of a bare brick patio or deck, a weatherproof rug can be just the thing to unify your look. I love this designer collab from Chris Loves Julia.

One of the most impactful buys I've made for my patio this summer is a stylish, retro patio umbrella. The one has it all: green and white stripes, scallops, and fringe detailing as well as a convenient hand crank mechanism and 30 degree tilt button.

Outdoor pillows like this are great for lending a little comfort to yard furniture, which can often be uncomfortable. This set is sun-proof, so they won't fade, and also waterproof, so they can stand up to the rain.

This fire pit is simple, but it has everything you need for a toasty evening roasting s'mores. It brings 360° of heat, so everyone will be equally toasty, and the spark screen makes sure that it's safe.

This style might not work for every yard, but this sweet little coffee table is perfect for more boho or coastal gardens. Sleek and charming, it's also totally weatherproof, as crafted with UV-resistant, weather-resistant polyethylene (PE) wicker rattan.

A lounge chair like this is the perfect finishing touch for a sunny spot. The black wicker frame makes this sun lounger a lot more attractive than the usual plastic loungers, but it won't cost any more money. But it comes with a footrest AND a table.
