Best Adirondack Chair
Mainstays Wooden Adirondack Chair
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/58344ff2-b3ce-40f3-bc24-14029653bbe9_5.5bff3fc2a0666eed59b83823a09d5920-dffb8254d7a546289617fee843b8a595.jpeg)
Multiple color options
1-year warranty
Good value
Easy to assemble
Not as weather-resistant as other materials
A classic porch piece, Adirondack chairs offer a low center of gravity that feels just right when you want to sit back and relax. The Mainstays Wood Adirondack Chair is a solid wood version with an affordable price tag. Unlike some Adirondack chairs that come unfinished or in simple stains, this version is available in seven different colors—including basic black and brown to brightly hued yellow and turquoise. Add both color and comfort to your front porch or backyard!
Hardwood is not the most weather-resistant when it comes to outdoor furniture. If you’re worried about chipping or flaking, you might want to consider putting a quick coat or two of polyurethane on the chairs before putting them into use. Or, you can opt to let the chairs weather and age into their own special patina.
Note that these chairs are made from solid wood so they earn high marks for durability, but they’re not cedar like some higher-end Adirondack chairs. But they are a good value and are easy to assemble, with most people taking less than a half hour to assemble and secure the chair. Any concerns you may have over the durability of these Adirondack chairs may be offset by the 1-year manufacturer’s warranty offered.

You can configure the pieces to your patio requirements or split them apart for separate seating options. Each section has enough weight to stay put where you place it, so use your imagination to arrange and re-arrange each piece in your space. Another plus, the set ships in just one box and includes a cover for in-between seasons.

We love the look and space offered by this dining set, but something to be aware of is the 225-pound weight limit per chair. You might find the sticker price for this patio set from Walmart to be a little steep but consider that a single investment gives you six sturdy patio chairs, a generously-sized dining table, and cushions to complete the look.

Best Sofa
Serta Laguna Outdoor Sofa

Serta
Weather resistant materials
Neutral, classic look
Supportive and comfortable
Lower back than traditional sofa
Who says that time in the great outdoors means sacrificing your favorite comforts of home? The Serta Laguna Outdoor Sofa is an all-weather option that will give you a soft spot to sit as you enjoy some fresh air or stargazing. This outdoor sofa seat is made from weather-resistant poly-resin wicker that gives it a classic patio look without the brittle downside of real wicker. Four oversized cushions—two on the seat and two to give back support—make this sofa a soft spot to sit. The 6-inch cushions combine the same support and comfort that Serta furniture is known for.
It should be noted that it doesn’t have a high back like your typical living room sofa. This isn’t a problem for everyone and is more likely to be an issue for taller individuals. You can also purchase other coordinating pieces to complete your outdoor living room setup. And while this Serta outdoor sofa carries a heftier price tag for a single piece of patio furniture, many people find it to be worth the extra comfort.

Although this model won’t recline completely horizontally, sunbathers and nappers find it flat enough to still be comfortable.
The best part of this set is the included table, perfect for keeping your drink, sunglasses, or book while you sunbathe. The whole set folds down for easy transport and storage. The chairs are made from all-weather rattan with rust-resistant steel frames, so you can leave them outside all year long. The cushions are a bit thin, but for such an affordable price for three pieces, you can't go wrong. Plus, we love the bright blue and red color options available along with classic white.

Great for small yards
Confusing assembly instructions
Sit and stay awhile outside with a patio set that is just right for you and a friend. The Mainstays Alexandra 3-piece patio set is popular for outdoor spaces of all sizes and includes two cozy chairs, plus an accent table.
The supportive patio chairs feature a woven sling back for ventilation on hot summer days, along with a comfortable cushion with a polyvinyl coating to resist sun and water damage. The tempered glass table has just enough space to keep a drink, a plant, or to have a small dinner for two. We love this option for small decks or backyards, where a larger dining set may not fit comfortably. If you have a bit of extra room, check out the entire Mainstays Alexandra collection to keep building your dream outdoor space.
The assembly instructions may be a bit tricky at first, but with only a few pieces to put together, it's definitely worth the time and effort for a cozy place to sit and chat on warm summer nights.

Included table
Sturdy construction
Lengthy assembly time
Combine the easy motion of a porch glider with the convenience of a tete-a-tete set with the Jack Post Country Garden 2-Seat Wood Glider with Table. We like this glider since it allows each person to move at their own pace and also includes an outdoor table for your beverages or snacks.
This outdoor glider is made from extremely durable solid wood construction, but be forewarned that it may take a few hours to assemble initially. But the effort is worthwhile; this glider will give you years of enjoyment. In fact, one person bought this glider to replace the same model after 18 years of use!
Tete-a-tete sets are made for two people to socialize and enjoy easy conversation, and this Jack Post Country Garden 2-Seat Wood Glider is no exception. The smooth wood offers a surprisingly comfortable seat, and there are no complaints about the gliding mechanisms. Plus, there is a substantial 500-pound weight limit for the set as a whole.

Classic, timeless design
Available in multiple colors
Can be used indoors as well
Not suitable for especially windy or rainy areas
Small decks or balconies need a rocking chair for lounging and reading on sunny days. This option from Mainstays comes in six colors and won't break the bank if you want to get a few for a conversation set.
The timeless chair is made from FSC-certified solid Acacia hardwood with a protective finish to resist sun and water damage over time. It weighs just over 20 pounds, so you can easily move it around your space, but work best in covered areas such as under a patio awning or gazebo. They can hold up to 250 pounds and take about 30 minutes to assemble with all of the tools included. Because they're so lightweight, you may want to take these chairs inside during especially windy or rainy days. Luckily, they're suitable for indoor use as well and look just as gorgeous in your living room or screen-in porch.

Confusing assembly
This Outsunny 5-piece set is perfect for your outdoor bar setup. The setup comes with a glass-top table with four wicker stools. The wicker is weather-resistant and easy to clean, so you can leave this set out all year round.
Under the bar, there's a shelf for storing bar tools, dinnerware, and other outdoor essentials, which we love. Another plus, each stool can accommodate up to 350 pounds, while the table can hold 110 pounds, so bring on all the food and drinks you want. The thin bar with square stools is also very small-space friendly for balconies, and small porches and decks.
All of the tools needed for assembly are included, but the instructions can be a bit confusing, so be sure to set aside some time to put it together.

The 3-piece set comes with a glass top side table and two sturdy patio chairs with ventilated backs to stay cool in the summer heat.
What to Look for in Patio Furniture from Walmart
Material
Ideally, outdoor patio sets should be made of durable, weather-resistant material. Some patio sets are made of wood or metal, while others are made of synthetic materials designed to withstand wear and tear. Always find an option that says "weather resistant" to ensure it will last a long time. Many pieces also feature steel frames that are powder coated to resist rust, like our favorite dining set, which is a must for rainy areas.
Many patio sets also come with cushions with weather-resistant covers. Look for ones that can be removed and put in the washing machine to stay looking fresh. It's always a good idea to stow away cushions in the event of rain or high winds, despite their material.
Size
Before investing in a patio set, think about how many people will regularly sit at it and how much space you have to furnish. It's smart to measure your space before purchasing anything to ensure it fits comfortably. Luckily, Walmart has tons of options for every space from the smallest front porches to the biggest backyards.
If you live alone and don't regularly host, a small, cafe-style patio table with two chairs may suffice. Or start with a single chair, like the Mainstays rocking chairs that are sold individually. If you have a large family or like to entertain, then a patio set that comfortably seats six or eight people may be a better option, like our best sectional option from Better Homes & Gardens.
Style
While finding the right material and size for your outdoor furniture is undoubtedly important, you want to ensure that you like the style of the pieces you purchase. Walmart has tons of options no matter if you prefer a modern, rustic, or minimalistic style. Lots of options on this list come in multiple colorways, including neutral black, white, or tan. Many others feature wicker or rattan, which offer a classic outdoor look you can easily pair with other pieces.
You should also consider the features you're looking for in patio furniture, such as colorful chair cushions, an umbrella or canopy, as seen on our favorite patio swing, or shelves for extra storage.

How do you clean outdoor furniture?
How you clean your outdoor furniture ultimately depends on the material it's made of. Most patio sets can withstand a soap-and-water mixture for routine cleaning (just make sure to take the cushions off first). Follow the manufacturer's instructions before cleaning your patio set.
-
How do you protect outdoor furniture?
Many types of outdoor furniture are made of weather-resistant materials that can withstand rain and other elements. You may also consider covering your outdoor furniture when you're not using it to further protect it. Keeping your furniture in the shade or applying a protectant can help shield it from the sun.
-
How do you waterproof outdoor furniture?
Some outdoor furniture is made of synthetic material that can withstand moisture without the risk of damage. If you have wood patio furniture, many home improvement stores sell sealants you can add to protect it from moisture. Covering your outdoor furniture when you're not using it can protect it no matter what material it is.
