Outdoor Furniture

Find the Right Outdoor Furniture

I went through two outdoor dining sets before finding one that survived more than two seasons. The quiz below asks about your space, budget, and style — and points you to sets that are actually built to last.

Which outdoor furniture fits your space?

3 questions. I'll point you to a set that fits.

Question 1 of 3

What's your budget for a full set?

“The biggest mistake people make with outdoor furniture is buying cheap. Powder-coated aluminum or teak will last 10 years. Cheap steel or particleboard will rust and crack in two. Spend a little more once, or spend a little less every couple years.”
