What to look for in a patio furniture set

First, consider your budget when shopping for a patio furniture set. We've found the best patio furniture sets in 2024, including some high-end options over $2,000. But if your budget is tight this year, you should know that our bestselling patio furniture set is under $200 at Walmart now. Order now and you can have it in time for Labor Day.

Make sure that whatever patio set you buy is designed to be durable for outdoor use. Look for weather and rust-resistant frames, water-resistant cushions and fade-resistant fabrics. Teak furniture can get pricey, but if you're looking for a long-term investment, it ages beautifully and is easy to care for. Teak offers excellent weather resistance and the oils and resins in this wood type are natural bug repellents.

Opt for an outdoor patio furniture set that goes with the style of the rest of your home, whether that's modern, traditional or retro. Your outdoor space should be an extension of your home's interiors.
