Patio furniture is a necessity for any outdoor entertainment. Whether it's a cookout, alfresco dining, or a pool party, adding a few comfy chairs and convenient tables is always welcome. With outdoor furniture, there's no need to worry about the weather since most pieces are water-resistant and won't rust. Bring the comfort of your indoor seating outside with our favorite patio furniture sets.

Flamaker 3-piece patio set

Closed loop arms provide stability

Consider this set as a modern take on rattan furniture. The backrests and seats are made of rattan, but the arms are powder-coated steel and form a closed loop. On the seat, you'll find a cushion with a removable cover for when it's time to refresh. The table that accompanies the chairs has a glass top, which is ideal for avoiding stains on the rattan or your decking.

When you make a lot of food on the grill, or you've prepared a nice meal in your home kitchen, having enough seating for your guests is crucial. This generously sized dining set has eight seats, leaving no one standing around. The legs of the chairs and tables are capped with rubber feet, so they won't slide around if the patio is damp. Additionally, each chair can hold up to 330 pounds.

PAMAPIC 5-piece wicker patio set

Put your feet up on the included ottomans

The best way to relax is to sit down and put your feet up. That’s exactly what you can do with this set from Pamapic. It has ottomans that store under the chairs and slide out when you’re ready to use them. The set comes with a table, which has storage space underneath for a blanket or two. Each piece is made from a durable rattan that is weather-resistant, and the chairs are lined with super thick cushions.  

Selecting patio furniture

We’ve laid out our favorite patio furniture options for you to choose from. If you’re still not sure, then we recommend the Flamaker 3-piece patio set. This set is built to last because the parts of the chair that suffer the most wear and tear (armrests and legs) are actually powder-coated steel. We also like the removable covers on the cushions, since they often need washing after sitting outside. And the adorable table that fits between them is just a bonus.

However, if you plan to have a meal outdoors, the best option for you may be the Devoko 9-piece patio dining set. It offers seating for eight, so you’ll have more room for additional guests at your table. The antiskid feet on the table and chairs are also an unexpected plus since decking and porches can be slick, especially after rain. Finally, we appreciate that even the smaller seats have cushions to keep everyone comfortable.
