The Best Patio Furniture for Outdoor Entertaining (2023)

Even large outdoor spaces can start to feel cluttered if you load them with heavy pieces of furniture. For a light and airy look that blends seamlessly in any setting, this modern patio set is your best bet. It's the streamlined white metal frames paired with dove gray cushions that creates the effect, and the large square coffee table is the focal point that pulls it all together.

This handsome dining set, crafted from solid acacia wood, features an eye-catching chevron design and has a warm, honey-colored finish. The extendable table has a center hole for an umbrella and all the chairs have armrests, plus the set comes in several sizes and styles. Keep in mind that it needs to be treated with teak oil every two or three months for protection.

This best-selling three-piece bistro set is a fantastic value, priced at just under $140 at the time of this writing. It includes two chairs and a side table constructed of rustproof powder-coated steel, and the chairs are covered with all-weather rattan. The wide seats' removable cushions come in gray or cream along with the black shown, plus bright turquoise and a striking shade of red.

It's the woven accents on this four-piece set that make it a standout, giving it an upscale look that sets it apart from similar modern options. The all-weather rope that's woven around the powder-coated aluminum frame adds warmth and texture, which balances well with the tailored cushions. The set can be configured in different layouts and includes a coffee table with angled legs.

It's tough to find a large patio dining set that includes an umbrella for less than $1,000, which makes this one an excellent value. The all-weather, rust-resistant set accommodates six, and features resin wicker chairs with removable seat cushions and machine-washable covers, as well as a metal table with a matte powder-coated finish. The 13-foot-wide market umbrella opens with a crank and has a double-sided canopy with steel ribs.

This sophisticated seven-piece set will instantly upgrade your patio. Its brushed gold legs contrast beautifully with the espresso resin wicker that's wrapped around a powder-coated aluminum frame. Neatly tailored cushions add polish to complete the look, and are available in more than a dozen hues, including navy and tangerine.

This sleek, well-priced patio sofa could easily be mistaken for a designer piece. It features a rust-resistant brushed metal base with curved armrests and cushions in dark gray water-resistant fabric with subtle texture. The cushion covers are removable and machine-washable, and the sofa comes with a bonus metal tray where you can set down a drink or your iPad.

This modern dining set has a substantial presence and will add a cool, urban vibes to your outdoor space. The table and benches feature slated acacia wood tops and chunky, tubular steel legs that are slightly angled and have a black powder-coated finish. There's also a center hole for a market umbrella hidden underneath a small wooden disk.

These timelessly chic chaise lounges are crafted from solid acacia hardwood, with natural variation in the grain and an elegant teak stain. They offer six reclining positions and come with white cushions finished with piping for added polish. The set is water-resistant and the cushion covers are removable and machine-washable. The set is also available in a gray-stained wood with charcoal gray cushions.

This attractive patio furniture quartet has clean lines and a fresh look, with seating that features white cushions set against neutral all-weather wicker. The loveseat and chairs' rounded edges add a soft touch that pairs well with the charcoal gray powder-coated legs and coffee table. The cushions are removable, but their covers can't be taken off and thrown in the wash, so you'll have to stick to spot cleaning if they get dirty.

This chaise is as chic as they come, with a classic black-and-white striped cushion and a sturdy base crafted from eucalyptus wood. There are two wheels that make it easy to roll the lounge into the shade or sun, and it reclines to five positions so you can read, sip, or nap. The chaise is mildew- and weather-resistant, and the cushion can be spot-cleaned if you spill your iced latte.

If you're in the market for affordable patio chairs that'll instantly transform your space, this set is an excellent choice. It resembles natural wicker, but it's made with a synthetic all-weather material that's easy to maintain. The white cushions are also weather-resistant, with removable covers that you can throw in the wash. Both the pieces have black powder-coated frames and legs, with leveling feet for sturdiness on uneven surfaces.

Nothing adds drama to your outdoor space like a canopied daybed. This one features two separate chaise lounges so you can read while your parter takes a snooze, and draped curtains in cream, dark gray, or blue, with tiebacks for more sun or shade. The wooden frame is crafted from solid acacia, with center legs underneath the base for extra support.

For an updated take on a traditional outdoor dining set, look no further than this elegant option. Details like tapered table legs with brushed metal feet add a modern touch, and open-weave chair backs keep the set from looking too heavy. Every piece features all-weather wicker in a rich chocolate brown, wrapped around an iron frame. The set gets extra bonus points for having chairs that stack.
