The 19 Best Places To Shop For Patio And Outdoor Furniture

It's that time of year again. The trees are blooming, and the temperatures are rising, so that can only mean two things: Spring is here, and summer entertaining is not far behind. It also means that the outdoor living space we've all ignored for the better part of the last seven months is ready to be primped and primed for its moment in the sun. If your outdoor furniture has seen better days (or there's none to speak of), it might be a good time to invest in a few good pieces. Not sure where to begin? Here are 19 of the best places to shop for patio and outdoor furniture.

1. Amazon

Anyone with an internet connection can tell you that Amazon is the king of the one-stop shop, and despite its size and weight, outdoor furniture is no exception. Whether you're looking for rattan sectionals or a new fire pit, you'll find it here. And while you might think that shipping fees would make buying furniture online a nonstarter, guess again. Sure, there are many offerings that do charge a handsome shipping fee, but there are just as many that don't. Even better, there are plenty more that are available with Prime shipping.

It's worth noting that while Amazon has an incredible assortment to choose from, it's probably wise to shop with caution. Anyone can sell on Amazon, and quality and experiences vary. To that end, it's a good idea to read reviews, product descriptions, and return policies carefully.

Bed Bath & Beyond is one of the OG's of home furnishings and decor. Its competition may have increased exponentially over the last two decades or so, and the brand may be down, but they're certainly not out.

Most stores may not have the square footage required to display outdoor furniture, but there's plenty of room on the internet to do just that. Under their patio furniture tab, the retailer has everything you need for your outdoor space. From the basics like outdoor patio furniture sets to the finishing touches like side tables and umbrellas, Bed Bath & Beyond is a can't-miss. To sweeten the deal even further, there are plenty of items that ship free with a $39 purchase minimum or offer curbside pick-up for your ease. BB&B also has its Beyond Loyalty Program that gives you 20% off every purchase you make. Ultimately, that amounts to nice savings on a big purchase for your outdoor living space.

Wayfair

Over the last 20 years, Wayfair has been quietly making a name for itself in the home space. So, of course, anyone in the market for outdoor furniture will find plenty to choose from on the site. From outdoor dining sets to chaise lounges, and from hammocks to weather-resistant Adirondack chairs, Wayfair makes it pretty easy to furnish your outdoor living space. Even better, the retailer offers plenty of options for every budget and price point, not to mention free shipping.

Like most online retailers, there's no way to see the item in person before committing to the purchase, so undoubtedly, customer reviews will play a big part in your decision. But rest assured, Wayfair seems to do that right as well. Customer reviews are typically front and center on every item's page, so anyone ordering from the site can feel relatively comfortable with their purchase, providing they do their due diligence and read through those reviews.

Lowe's outdoor furniture sits comfortably in the mid-tier market, but there's plenty to choose from (for those with more flexible budgets) with their high-end signature brand, Allen and Roth.

6. IKEA

Best known for their Billy bookcase and Poäng chair, IKEA clearly corners the market on minimalist, Scandinavian design. And while beds, sofas, and other indoor home furnishings are their claim to fame, the brand is no slump when it comes to outdoor furniture.

Whether you're looking for outdoor coffee tables, dining sets, or grills and accessories, IKEA has a large assortment of items with a Scandinavian twist. While IKEA has plenty of outdoor furniture to choose from, it's worth noting that the retailer does charge a hefty delivery fee, sometimes coming in at over $300. So, you'll probably want to factor that in when making your final decision and weighing your purchase against your budget.
