Wayfair

View On Wayfair

Wayfair is among the most popular online shopping platforms for patio furniture sets, as well as dining sets, umbrellas, and patio bar furniture. It's known for its wide variety of options and range of price points, with plenty of items that appear high-end but cost less than you might believe. We suggest keeping an eye out for sales (especially at season end and on holiday weekends), as it's rare to pay full price on the site.

Wayfair also offers fast shipping on most items and gives you an estimated delivery date when you enter your zip code. It has a shopping assistance line if you have questions before buying, and of course, you can read through a lot of reviews that can help you make that final decision. If you're unhappy with your purchase, Wayfair has a 30-day return policy. Still, items need to be unassembled or disassembled, so be sure you intend to keep the item before you put it together (or keep the tools nearby). Overall, with so many options and conveniences readily available for shoppers, we recommend putting it high on your list of retailers.

_{Type: Dining sets, patio furniture, umbrellas︱Delivery: Varies by product, free on orders over $35︱Return policy: 30 days (unassembled or disassembled items only)︱Customer service options: Phone, Chat, Text}

Amazon

It's nearly impossible to compile a list of retailers without mentioning Amazon. When it comes to outdoor furniture, in particular, it has many options from many different manufacturers at a wide range of price points. We like that you can search for anything on your outdoor furniture wishlist, from chairs to dining sets and patio umbrellas, and then add any necessary extras to your cart, like strings of lights, citronella candles, and sunscreen.

Amazon offers fast shipping on most items, especially for Prime customers, but be sure to check the estimated delivery date on each item. The return policy depends on the item's vendor but must qualify for a 30-day return if you are unhappy. Don’t expect a lot of one-on-one assistance when it comes to product care, but each item’s page has detailed product information that should tell you what you need to know—and always check the reviews from other customers.

_{Type: Dining sets, patio furniture︱Delivery: Vendor dependent︱Return policy: Vendor dependent but usually within 30 days︱Customer service options: Contact each vendor through an Amazon account}

Article has made a big push in the last few years with its focus on the mid-century style, and their prices seem more affordable compared with similar retailers of high-end modern furniture. When you head to the site, you’ll likely find a nice selection of outdoor furniture, from modern sectionals to outdoor daybeds. They are an online-only retailer with a fair return policy offered within 30 days of purchase for a small return shipping charge.

You can chat online, call them, or email them if you have any questions about products or placing an order. They offer free shipping on orders over $999, and you can select their $169 in-room and assembly service if you don’t want to be bothered with furniture assembly. You may not find as many customer reviews as some of the larger retailers, but we're generally impressed with the amount of information and photos available for each item.

_{Type: Dining sets, patio furniture, umbrellas︱Delivery: Estimated date based on zip code︱Return policy: 30 days; $19 to $49 shipping charge; product must be in original packaging; free exchanges︱Customer service options: Phone, live online chat, email}

World Market

View On World Market

With over 240 locations around the U.S., you've maybe had a chance to browse World Market's original inventory in-person (if not, we highly recommend it). The retailer brings in products from all over the globe, with competitive price points with the larger chains, and the best part? Their outdoor selection is a great example. We appreciate the charming and chic aesthetic they curate and the wide range of price points.

Since they have IRL locations, you have more options for returns than you do with online-only options. Returns for most items are accepted for up to 60 days (as long as the item is in its original condition), and you can take items to the store or return them by mail, too.

_{Type: Dining sets, patio furniture, umbrellas︱Delivery: Estimated date based on zip code and shipping type︱Return policy: Within 60 days, item in original condition | Customer service options: Phone, email, in-store}

IKEA

View On Ikea

When looking for inexpensive, contemporary, and even cheerful options, IKEA should always come to mind. They have a mid-sized selection of dining sets, sofas, chairs, and outdoor umbrellas, all with basic designs and affordable prices. You can search for a range of pieces, from a small balcony-sized table and chair set to a large dining table, and you'll find that many pieces can work on their own or within a coordinated set.

You can also shop in-store, where you can see all of their products (and most likely end up picking up some additional items to create your backyard oasis). Click-and-collect, where you can shop online and pick up curbside, is available, too. If you're hoping for home delivery, they don’t offer it on all products and charge a fee. However, as long as there's a delivery or pick-up option that suits you, we think IKEA's products are always worth a browse.

_{Type: Dining sets, patio furniture, umbrellas︱Delivery: Click-and-collect pickup, shop in-store, ship to home (available only on certain products)︱Return policy: 365 days to return unopened items, 180 for opened items︱Customer service options: In-store experts, phone, chat}

The Home Depot

Every year, The Home Depot offers a selection of outdoor furniture to choose from, both online and in-store. Depending on what you need for your area, you can shop for small and large dining tables and patio furniture, plus accessories such as grills, rugs, and pillows. They have a range of price-point options and a selection of leading brand names, including Hampton Bay and Polywood. But the selection is very seasonal, with more summer options than winter.

You can order through their website to ship to your home; most products offer free shipping. Not all options are available for pickup at one of their many stores, but if it is, you pay nothing for shipping. If the return policy is important to you, The Home Depot gives you a reasonable 90 days to change your mind and has a helpful customer service team available in-store and over the phone.

Crate & Barrel

View On Crate & Barrel

Style reigns supreme with the timeless patio furniture collections available from Crate & Barrel. The always-chic home retailer brings the same level of elegance and quality to the great outdoors with a selection of patio furniture ranging from sleek patio chairs to sectionals and dining sets. Like some of our other favorites, you can visit Crate & Barrel online and in-store, at one of their 100 locations.

When perusing the patio furniture collections at Crate & Barrel, you’ll notice some familiar trends—mixed materials, muted color palettes, and modern designs are recurring themes. What makes this retailer stand out for patio furniture is its collection of upholstered patio furniture featuring the retailer's exclusive Sunbrella® material, which promises to stand up to the elements and resist stains. Of course, all this style and convenience don’t come cheap, and you will pay a premium price for these stylish pieces. Though, with the opportunity to customize many of them, you can create the patio set of your dreams.

Blu Dot

View On Bludot.com

Blu Dot is known for eye-catching modern designs and high-quality indoor and outdoor furniture. Its versatile outdoor patio furniture includes lounge seating, dining tables and chairs, and bar carts that can work inside and outside. Also, you can browse or buy from eight different outdoor collections, which can feature single pieces or entire sets. It's a favorite design enthusiast brand with a team of in-house designers working on new designs throughout the year. The service team is very helpful and has a lot of product knowledge.

They deliver, but heads-up that the white-glove delivery service can cost a couple of hundred dollars, depending on the item. Also, it doesn't offer free returns, instead charging 10 percent of the returned item’s cost, which can be hefty.

Target

View On Target

If you want stylish patio furniture options at budget-friendly prices, check out Target’s collection of outdoor furniture. The retailer offers on-trend patio pieces, including a small bistro and conversation sets with cozy chairs and accent tables. Plus, you can find pieces that aren't available anywhere else, like Target-brand exclusives Threshold and Project 62. While the large variety and modest pricing have us thinking that there's something for almost everyone here, we especially want to call out Target for its transitional pieces that can work well for households that are still growing and acquiring furniture and housewares. In other words, if you consider yourself to be new to "adulting," their pieces are made for you.

Target’s return policy is 90 days, and with so many retail stores, you also have the convenience of in-store customer service and return options. One potential downside we want to mention is that, like many other large retailers, their selection is fairly seasonal.

_{Type: Dining sets, patio furniture, outdoor seating︱Delivery: In-store, pick-up, delivery, shipping︱Return policy: Most items accepted in new condition, within 90 days︱Customer service options: Phone, web, in-store}
