Promising review: "Great quality of table and umbrella! My grandsons are 3 and 4 and are rough on everything they have. This product has stood the test. We are outside often in SoCal and use this table daily. Arts and crafts, lunch, and occasionally time-outs. Easy to clean and move around. I highly recommend this table." —Cwboyz235

Get it from Amazon for $72.99+ (also available in a multicolor version).

Promising review: "Chic. Huge fan of slatted wood, and these are a sturdy and super stylish way to filter out the neighbors. Assembly is easy but a pain with all the small pieces, but that is expected. There is no center rod, but small plastic pieces that go in between each slat, giving the appearance of a rod. The wood is pieced together from scrap pieces, but it can't really be seen from a distance. Got two — one is not completely flush and straight, but the other is perfect. Stain is a nice warm brown and not too red or light." —Kristine

Promising review: "I love these! They make my back porch look amazing. I call it 'the light show' as I have many different types of solar lamps on my back porch now. Love how it charges throughout the day and shines almost throughout the entire night. After a while, the solar panel will no longer work, but it's ok, I have found the solar panel replacements for this set. It's an easy fix, so I will continue to enjoy my light show for years to come. I am very happy." —Aline M Cardin

Get two from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors).

Get it from Target for $84.99 (originally $449.99).

Promising review: "Love that this exists because no one thinks of the base, which is almost just as prominent and visible as the umbrella! Got this for my cinque umbrella and it’s darling together! The base is VERY heavy and very sturdy as a result. Highly recommend." —Swanksy

Promising review: "We bought these chairs three years ago, leave them outside in the sun/rain/snow, and they look as good as the day we bought them. Heavy-duty, comfortable (though it would be nice if Ikea made a cushion that fit, and one that was comfortable without a cushion as well). We have a $900 Pottery Barn chair that looks a lot like these, and the quality of these is as good as the PB chairs! Good job, Ikea!" —Anna

Promising review: "I have zero regrets buying this bench. It is well worth the money! It went together SUPER easy and seems to be of really high quality. The cushions are extremely comfortable, the material feels heavy-duty, and the stitching looks good. I look forward to sipping my morning coffee and being the envy of everyone in my apartment building. Hah!" —Shannon

Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "We hung these around the top of our covered patio, and these lights give off good light and a warm glow, not overly bright — makes for a nice ambience." —Jc

Get it from Wayfair for $73.99 (originally $83.99). 

Promising review: "I got the Vacanza style, and it looks great on my patio, which has a turquoise theme. Not too heavy that you can’t lift it, but very sturdy. A great addition." —Swaxxy

Get it from Anthropologie for $228 (available in two designs).

Promising review: "We are happy so far with this outdoor sectional! The cushions were very firm at first but have softened up with use. Love that they’re bench cushions and the color is so pretty! The wicker is thick and seems like it will hold up well. Only regret is not being able to wait to purchase the larger size (has been out of stock). Our cats love it too!" —K.C.

Promising review: "I was extremely happy with the vibrant colors and comfort level of these cushions. The ties are well placed. Overall quality at such a low price!!!" —Nancy

Promising review: "Amazing value. Super sturdy/heavy and expensive looking." —Torre L.

BTW, it comes with lava rocks and a protective vinyl cover.

Promising reviews: "Love it! We don't get a lot of cold weather in South Florida, but it is very atmospheric on the porch, not sooty, and on those cool evenings it does provide enough heat." —Cheryl

"This has served me well for a couple of years. It’s built solidly. Assembly was easy. It makes evenings on the back deck enjoyable. Even the pets love it!" —Ltc

Get it from Wayfair for $199.99 (originally $249.99).

Promising review: "I’m really happy with this purchase! The design is super practical. I can lay it flat and use it like a daybed, or adjust the back to different angles and turn it into a sofa. It’s very versatile and comfortable. There’s plenty of space — my dogs love lying next to me and sunbathing together. It feels roomy without being bulky. When I don’t need it fully open, it folds back nicely and doesn’t take up too much space. 

The side trays on both sides are such a smart feature. Perfect for drinks or a phone. The quality is better than I expected — sturdy frame, nice wicker, and solid construction. Assembly was easier than I thought, and the curved armrests make it even more comfortable. Overall, very satisfied with this patio set." —Jane

Promising review: "We are so pleased with this hammock! It looks great and is so comfortable!

We also purchased a tree strap from Amazon to hang it on our tiki beam, and it worked perfectly." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $71.96+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "It’s gorgeous and so easy to put together! My daughter and I put this together in 30 minutes. It’s sturdy and has the flower pots on the ends. The bench is great, so you have somewhere to sit, and it is large. Lightweight enough to move but still sturdy. Has great drainage! So functional as a seat and decor!" —Samantha Brown

It also has a snap at the bottom to reset the game, which is a nice feature. I compared prices on Connect games on other sites, and this was by far the better deal. Highly recommend for any gathering!" —Nita
