Patio furniture?

[gisselletdean]

Now that I have the inside of my house (mostly) furnished…patio furniture? My brain is fried. What do I want? Where do I buy it from? Is there anywhere that I can buy preassembled so I don’t have to assign another task to dh? Will it go on sale for Black Friday? What is comfortable? What lasts? Does nothing last and it just has to be replaced every couple years regardless? We are in the south so it will be nearly year round use.

It’s going under a covered patio (but open on the sides so exposed to some weather. I don’t need a table. We’ll have a small propane fire pit (safe for use under covered patio-we have high ceiling clearance, a fan etc. and enough clearance from the house, I am fire paranoid so I have researched this). So we don’t need a dining set- just some chairs/loveseat to sit around outside. I would probably like one or two particularly comfy chairs for myself to enjoy my coffee (or wine) and the mountain view but mostly just seating that can be flexible and moved around for the circumstances is fine. We are casual people so comfort and function is going to rule over style.

We don’t need to buy it right now- we can always use camp chairs and make do until I find what I want or wait for a sale. But I am kind of in buying and getting set up mode so I’d be happy to check this off my list now.

Anyone have a kind they love or hate? A good place to buy from? I’m weary of decision making! But I would like to enjoy fall on my patio.

If you’re a Costco member, their outdoor furniture gets great reviews. There isn’t any in the stores right now, but you can shop online, and have it delivered. It might even be worth buying a membership for.

We were in the same boat last year, just wanting comfy, functional seating without overthinking it. We ended up getting some deep-seating wicker chairs with thick cushions, and they’ve held up surprisingly well through heat, rain, and even a few surprise storms. I’d say prioritize comfort since you’ll be using it year-round.If you’re open to waiting, Black Friday might be worth it, but I also found https://wickerpark.ca/ randomly while searching, and they had solid options. We actually started with camp chairs too, and honestly, there’s something nice about easing into a space before committing.
