Promising review: "High quality and beautiful style. The color is a softer , lighter green than what’s pictured. I like it better than the picture. Love it! " —Barbara D.

Promising review: "This is the MOST durable and solid outdoor furniture we have ever owned. We bought our first chair three years ago and it has stayed outside buried in snow in the winter, covered with leaves in the fall, and subjected to the rain and heat of spring and summer. We never bought the chair inside or covered it. We just ordered a second one and side by side its hard to tell which one has been left out in the elements for three years. Highly recommend. Solid, heavy, and durable." —Anonymous

Promising review: "Nice firepit, especially for the price. Its lightweight but compared to similar thickness firepits at the big box stores, this one has way more functionality. I knew this was thinner metal to begin with, idk what anyone else was expecting. Easy to put together to the point its idiot proof. Everything stores inside the pit when not in use and doubles as a table when you dont want a fire. The cover fits very snug and seems nice. Its raining here in CA so i just got it put together and havent used it outside yet, will update if theres any issues." —Christopher P. Boyd

Promising review: "For being lightweight, this is a sturdy game. So fun too! We just opened it today and it managed to keep 6- and-12 year-old boys, along with their father entertained for some time. After lunch, everyone hurriedly returned to the game." —Debs

Promising review: "I waited several months before writing a review. I purchased a country home that I love. But living in the country comes with more wildlife and insects. I keep my bug zapper on the windowsill of my kitchen. I have problems with flies, mosquitos, fruit flies and gnats. I have a professional exterminator but still need indoor / outdoor solutions. This bug zapper is excellent in every way. I am attaching several photos showing all the gnats it has killed that bounce off the zapper due to the size. The flies fall in the bottom compartment to be emptied since they are heavier than gnats. My country home honestly is fly, mosquitos, moth, gnat and fruit fly free since I purchased this product. Now I will start buying replacement bulbs to have on hand. The bulb it came with is still working strong after several months so I believe it will last at least 1 year if not more based on usage. I am so glad I purchased this bug zapper and will recommend it to everyone." —Mario B.

Promising review: "These ducks are so cute and add the perfect bit of whimsical feeling. They look great out in the garden and every time I see them they bring a smile to my face. I want to buy more of them and give them all to my family and friends. They are well crafted too and pretty big!! Definitely recommend these." —Roxy

Promising review: "Used it for the first time yesterday for a small gathering. Even though it was in our 96-degree Florida heat there was still some unmelted ice this morning. Great product even it you only use it as a table." —Dochinger

Promising review: "This set is amazing quality for the price! We have had one of these sets on our beach patio and it has held up well to the extreme elements. I knew it was going to be perfect for our patio at our new house. The green is more muted than online photos show, but a perfect shade for an outdoor space. They were easy to put together and came with extra screws if needed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for new outdoor furniture!" —Mickaela 

Get it from Walmart for $494 (available in three colors). 

Promising review: "Cheap with good quality and is pretty big." —Lola

Promising review: "I had to replace my heavy duty hoses (that came with the home we bought) and get far lighter hoses. Dragging and maneuvering a hose around flowers etc. without mashing or breaking them, is a trick. I couldn't take it anymore. I love these hoses. They crank up into the hose storage easily and though light, do not hamper water flow. I love them." —artgirl

Promising review: "I took a long time deciding which outdoor sofa to order, and we're SO happy with our choice! It looks great in our space, is the perfect height and depth, and the cushions are very plush and comfortable (unlike some outdoor furniture where it very quickly feels like sitting on a wood plank). The cushion tie downs are also very handy, and necessary I think. I knew this from reading reviews so I'm not bothered, and I think the colour is beautiful, but just FYI it isn't a true black but more of a dark heathered charcoal. We bought this couch on a great sale, so I am very extra pleased with the value!" —Emma S.

Promising review: "I don't ever write reviews, but I felt compelled to give credit where credit is due. I am no gardener. Just a simple working mom, with little time or knowledge about how to upkeep my landscaping. This product made it a no brainer! We get TONS of little weeds all over our (already desert landscape) front yard. Getting down on my hands and knees every week or so was just getting to be too much. Saw this product and decided to give it a try. You don't know what you're missing until you try it. Worth every penny — super easy to use, REALLY WORKS! Fast and easy. Would totally recommend this product to anyone interested in fast and easy weeding." —Brett K

Promising review: "Honestly I was pretty impressed with these chairs and they’re affordable. We got the dark green color and they look identical to the pictures- the perfect outdoorsy shade of green! They recline super well and don’t make you feel like you’re going to fall back. Very sturdy and good quality. I would rebuy these again if I need more.

I also love the little side trays! They have two cup holders (fits a soda can easy) and has a little place for your phone and book/tablet.My only concern was that they would take up a lot of room in storage- they fold up and are so compact it’s crazy!" —Dani

Promising review: "I bought this to stash garden stuff on my patio. I wanted something that wouldn't take up a lot of space, would be multi-functional and look good in the backyard. This fit the bill. Not only was it delivered quickly, it was easy to put together and seems to be rather sturdy and definitely roomy. I like that it doubles as a seat and as it happens the cushions I have fit the seat. Makes it more comfortable when I'm planting in the raised beds or crafting outdoors. I love having my gardening tools and cushions close at hand and it's also great for storing extra potting soil. It's so functional I think I'll order another one - There's always stuff to store." —Musette

Promising review: "Absolutely love this hammock. Me my daughter and the cat swing comfortably on this on the weekend! The durability, and quality exceeded my expectations!!

The material has a nice fit and stretch to you! Extremely easy to put together and definitely worth the value! I love it comes with a cases to place everything once taken down and is easy to move!" —Kelly

Promising review: "Really lovely patio set! It is extremely good looking and very comfortable and all at a great price! And, don’t worry about getting the white covers dirty. I have pulled them off and washed them in a gentle cycle several times and the whole set looks brand new each time, which is great!" —Daniel R.

Promising review: "Love these Vego Raised Garden Bed Kits! I purchased four of them and created an amazing vegetable garden. They are 17 inches tall, the metal panels are thick and durable. Simply screw the panels together using the predrilled holes into the pattern you want. There are many configurations that can be made and the instructions lay out all the different shapes you can make very easily. The kit itself is very heavy, I simply unboxed it and set it up right on the lawn so it was easy to move where I desired once put together. I filled with good garden soil and planted away! Once the season was done I simply removed any dead vegetation and walked away. These beds do not rust and are perfect for year round. Amazing value for the money if you are unable to garden in the ground." —Julie

Promising review: "I love the fact that I could order seeds I needed instead of buying large packages from retail stores and throwing away unused seeds. One can only plant so many herbs. There are plenty of seeds for a season with this order. Great job!" —jn

Promising review: "It is wonderful to be able to enjoy being outside in the winter. I love this heater. We did take our time to read all warnings and instructions before we began. That really helped. Took our time removing protective plastic from both sides of 5 reflector pieces so as to be sure it was all off. The unit worked on first start up. It's nice to sit outside and watch the sun set in the evening without freezing. It does take 2 people to put it together but it went like clockwork." —Joann Slaven

Promising review: "We have had a few different outdoor stemless wine glasses over the years and these, so far, are the best. They are dishwasher safe and have remained clear with washing. They are the perfect size and I can't wait to sit on the patio with a delish cocktail this summer." —Emma K. 

Promising review: "I am pleased with this product so far. The cushions are comfy and it's a good height for sitting. Assembly was easy and didn't take long. I can't wait to enjoy more days on my porch with this set." —Kathrin Kimmons

Promising reviews: "Living in Hawaii, you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt–proof, etc... In total I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —Adazzle

"Bought these in 2016, and with one application of teak oil per year, they still look great in 2023. They have been subjected to full weather for 7 years and still look amazing. Lightly power wash them once a year to remove grime, takes about 30 min." —Z

Promising review: "We purchased this set few weeks ago for our patio and it looks awesome. Got chair cushions at IKEA as well, it would not be comfortable without those. It has survived lots of heavy rain as well as very high temperatures the last few days without issues so its very weather resistant. Easy to assemble, clean design and functional!" —Ajla

Promising review: "The umbrella does its job, it tilts so you can position the umbrella to block the sun at all hours. The colors are vibrant and fabric is decent quality, I bought the turquoise this time and dark blue in the past, the fabric keeps cleans. The umbrella isn't heavy, easy to maneuver. This was a replacement for our previous umbrella which broke at the tilt joint, after a very windy day when we forgot to close it, but it lasted over a year and a half so no complaints there." —Ander P

Promising review: "I haven't shopped for gardening tools for the last 20 years as I have been living in a condo. Now that I purchased a brand new Summer home with lots of grass, I had to get a decent set. First name that popped up in my mind was Fiskars even before I did any research online. I chose this three-piece starter set as it was practical and on sale. The grips are nicer than my old set from 20 years ago. The alloy steel on the tools seem to handle normal gardening chores fine. So far, I am quite pleased with the set." —Jesus S. 

Promising review: "These solar lights are so beautiful. They add such sophistication to my patio space! I need to buy four more." —Debby
