Backyard Creations Boulder Creek Rectangular Dining Patio Table
Most people buy patio furniture based on the way it looks. And that is an important factor, but to get a set you'll be happy with, we think it's important to take into account a few other major considerations. How much space do you have for a set? An apartment deck calls for something entirely different from a capacious concrete patio. What type of set will harmonize with both the exterior and interior of your home? And how much maintenance are you willing to do on your table to keep it looking good? We go into greater detail on these and other topics in our buyer's guide, which will help walk you through what to consider when picking outdoor furniture—even if our picks aren't to your taste or are unavailable. Whether you want to splurge on a high-end teak set or invest in lounge chairs and sofas, we'll give you guidelines for how to choose the best patio furniture for your outdoor space, with a focus on durability and design.
We spent 30 hours researching what makes a good patio dining set, including interviewing five landscape designers and a pair of furniture designers, as well as scouring hundreds of reviews for sets less than $800—which seems like a reasonable amount to spend for renters and first-time homeowners. After assembling and using several sets, we recommend two sets, the IKEA Äpplarö Table and 4 Armchairs and the Better Homes and Gardens Clayton Court 5-Piece Patio Dining Set, that we think are a great value and will look good in a variety of backyards and patios.
Editor's note: As of June 2021, pandemic-related shortages have been plaguing various industries, and patio furniture is one of many categories dealing with the effects. Facing seasonal high demand, manufacturers are currently unable to keep up due to various supply-chain issues. In the meantime, we have some promising sets in our Other good patio furniture section, as well as buying advice on how to select a good dining set, but we hope to update this guide once nationwide shortages ease and things are regularly in stock again.
Why you should trust us
For this guide, our team interviewed both landscape and furniture designers, including: Aaron and Claribelle Van Holland of furniture brand House Van Holland (formerly M.F.E.O.); AHBE principal architect Calvin Abe; Washington, DC–area landscape designer Andy Balderson; and Los Angeles landscape designers Russ Cletta, Maggie Lobl, and Naomi Sanders. We gathered more insight into what people want in an outdoor patio set by speaking with three retail experts in Pasadena, California: Veronica Hoodless, sales associate at the high-end Fishbecks outdoor-furniture store; Jesse Mezger, manager at the upscale Patioworld; and Jesse Bawsel, manager at Armstrong Garden Centers. We also looked at hundreds of tables online and dozens in stores to find good options for less than $800.

A good inexpensive wood set: IKEA Äpplarö Table and 4 Armchairs
Our pick
IKEA Äpplarö Table and 4 Armchairs
Best affordable wood set
If you like the look and feel of wood, but not the typically high price, this acacia patio set offers a stylish design at a fraction of the cost of higher-end teak models. It also comes with the widest selection of seating options we've found.
Buying Options
$409* from IKEA
*At the time of publishing, the price was $410 .
- Real wood, plastic price: Of the 12 wood sets we considered, the Äpplarö Table and 4 Armchairs is the best-looking inexpensive option we liked. It's made of acacia wood, which isn't as durable as teak but is much more affordable.
- Large capacity: It's one of the only tables we found at this price that expands to seat 10.
- Lots of seating choices: Of all the outdoor dining sets we looked at, no other offered as many seating options (including upright armchairs, foldable chairs, reclining chairs, or even benches) and choices for complementary pieces.
Flaws but not dealbreakers:
- Not totally winter-proof: In our experience, this table is not a suitable choice for leaving out year-round in very wet or snowy climates; one of our editors in Connecticut found this table lost its finish and warped in a year left outside. But our long-term tester in LA has found this table has worn just fine. Get a cover for it if you want to protect it from the elements.
- Requires annual maintenance: As with most wood outdoor furniture, you'll likely need to do some kind of annual maintenance on the table, depending on its degree of weathering.
Key specs:
Colors: Chocolate brown or white
Warranty: none
Table dimensions: 30¾ by 55⅛ without leaves, 102⅜ with leaves by 28⅜ inches (width by length by height)
Seat dimensions: 19½ by 20½ by 16¼ inches (width by depth by height)
A contemporary steel set: Better Homes and Gardens Clayton Court 5-Piece Patio Dining Set
Our pick
- More attractive than most faux wrought-iron sets: The table and chairs of the Better Homes and Gardens Clayton Court 5-Piece Patio Dining Set are the most attractive we could find for the price.
- Plenty of dining surface: The round, mesh-topped table is 45 inches in diameter, bigger than many other tables in sets of this type.
- Super-comfortable chairs: The chairs have a mellow bounce that makes them more relaxing than the simpler upright chairs that come with most patio sets. They were a favorite among many of our testers.
- Seat cushions are included: The cushions aren't made of the best sunproof fabric, but for the price of this set we think it's impressive that cushions are included at all.
- Super low maintenance: Steel is about as low maintenance a material for outdoor furniture as you'll find, so this set will likely be less hassle and last longer than similarly priced wood sets.
Flaws but not dealbreakers:
- Not the best for those weighing more than 225 pounds: One Walmart.com reviewer who weighs 250 pounds recounts problems with the Clayton Court chairs breaking (each chair is rated to 225 pounds).
Key specs:
Colors: Black
Warranty: One year against manufacturing defects
Table dimensions: 42 by 27¼ inches (diameter by height)
Seat dimensions: 18 by 19 by 16¼ inches (width by depth by height)
Our favorite patio umbrella: Treasure Garden Market Aluminum Push Button Tilt Umbrella
Our pick
- Superior construction: We found the construction of the 9-foot-wide Treasure Garden Market Aluminum Push Button Tilt Umbrella better than any of the others we tested, and we like that it comes with a convenient crank lift and push-button tilt. The umbrella comes with a cover and the option of a double vent—making it more resistant to gusts of wind.
- Great customization options: It comes in a variety of Sunbrella fabrics (which our experts recommended), as well as less expensive O'bravia fabric, which is still a nice option but not as durable or sun resistant as Sunbrella. There are also several pole finishes to fit your overall look.
Flaws but not dealbreakers:
- Shipping can take a while: Up to several weeks, depending on the fabric and finish options you choose.
How we picked and tested
New homeowners and renters often look for a comfortable, durable, and reasonably stylish dining set at a moderate price. That's what we set out to find with this guide, limiting our budget to $800 but hoping to identify sets for much less—which we did. Although you can spend much more on an outdoor dining set, in our research we encountered plenty of great options within this price range.
We considered the following when analyzing sets:
- Size: We focused on tables for four, but we also considered larger sizes if they fit our $800 budget. For the most part, we limited our picks to tables at least 40 inches in width (or diameter), which are just big enough to comfortably host four full place settings plus a couple of serving dishes and a cluster of condiments.
- Comfortable seats: Every set we picked includes chairs that in our testing felt solid and stable and had good-size seats, something that wouldn't make most people feel squeezed. We also considered how the chairs fit with their matching table. "Sometimes chairs with armrests don't fit under the table very well," Southern California landscape designer Russ Cletta told us. We didn't consider small bistro-like seats or folding chairs, instead opting for stable four-legged chairs with armrests—the type of seat where most people could relax comfortably for several hours at a time.
- Attractive, sturdy materials: Following our expert's advice, we focused on sets made from wood, metal, and all-weather wicker. We tried to find sets that were aesthetically pleasing, and that would work with a range of home styles. Within our budget we focused on wood sets made of acacia or eucalyptus, which are still durable woods but usually not as long-lasting as teak.
- Cushions (optional): If a set came with cushions, we considered the fabric options available. Sunbrella fabrics are the gold standard for outdoor use because they retain their color far better than polyester and other yarn-dyed goods. Other solution-dyed fabrics, such as Olefin, generally have a good reputation for durability and colorfastness.
We visited big-box stores such as Costco, Home Depot, IKEA, and Walmart, as well as more expensive stores like West Elm, Design Within Reach, Modernica, Crate and Barrel, and Restoration Hardware to identify the key differences separating affordable from moderately priced and investment-worthy designs. We dedicated an extensive amount of time to comparing online retailers like Amazon, AllModern, Lowe's, Orchard Supply Hardware, Overstock, Target, Teak Warehouse, Wayfair, and West Elm, revealing several sub-$800 options only available online.
After looking at on-the-floor offerings in stores and spending about 24 hours researching top-rated patio dining sets online, we narrowed down our list to include sets made of wood, steel, aluminum, plastic resin, and all-weather wicker that also have a strong history of positive online reviews spanning back several years.
Our research rounded up an initial 33 sets representing a promising balance of cost, features, and design. We whittled down that list by examining online reviews and, in some cases, talking to people who owned the furniture sets. We made trips to Home Depot and IKEA to examine sets in person and witness how shoppers reacted to them in the stores. For the original iteration of this guide, we ordered three sets and timed how long we took to assemble them in a Los Angeles backyard. For our 2018 update, we ordered another two sets and assembled them in another Los Angeles backyard. During both tests, we examined screws, joints, and the apparent quality of construction. Over the course of several weeks, we paid attention to how comfortable the dining sets were for different purposes, and we asked visitors to compare the comfort of the seats and the overall aesthetics of the sets. In June 2021, we researched six more patio dining sets. Due to testing limitations during the pandemic, we were not able to assemble these new sets at home, so we narrowed our search to dining sets that we could touch and analyze at big-box stores, that had great reviews at the time, and that were eligible for return or exchange.
Any sets that become picks we buy for long-term testing so that if any issues come up during such use we can update this guide accordingly.
How to pick a patio dining set
Picking out a great outdoor furniture set is about more than honing in on something you like the look of in the store or online. If you pick the wrong size table, or chairs with feet that catch dangerously in the grooves of your deck, you may find you'll be packing the set back up to return. The following guidelines should help you narrow the options and avoid buyer's remorse.
Consider your outdoor layout
Start by analyzing the shape and size of the outdoor area where you intend to place the patio dining set. Imagining an outdoor space just like any interior room will help create a proportional arrangement. For example, placing a long rectangular table across a tight square deck or balcony will not only look cramped and awkward, but can prove dangerous or destructive to nearby garden or patio features as people move to and from the table. Conversely, placing a small round patio dining set in a capacious, open setting can create the impression the furniture is floating adrift, losing sight of the desired shores of communal intimacy any dining area aspires to communicate.
Recognizing that not everyone has the Neil deGrasse Tyson level of confidence needed to imagine the spatial relationship between objects, we recommend landscape designer Lauren Dunec Hoang's excellent photographic reference to gain a better understanding about the balance between scale, accessibility, and intimacy within a patio setting (or any outdoor space).
As we noted in our dining table guide, the "visual weight" of a piece of furniture can influence whether a table looks too large, too small, or just right for the space it occupies. A helpful rule of thumb used by interior designers is also applicable to the outdoors: Leave at least 36 inches between the table from any wall, tree, or other physical object that may impede access. In our experience it also helps to take a photograph from a high vantage point as a supplement to any measurements; keeping the overhead photo on your smartphone or in the cloud for quick comparative reference while shopping can help keep guesswork to a minimum. Similarly, a roll of painter's tape can prove quite handy for previewing the footprint of a patio dining set across its intended space.
Analyze your patio or yard surface
The surface area where you plan to place your dining set should work well with the legs of the chairs and table. At best the wrong combination can prove bothersome, and at worst dangerous. A long wooden bench placed on top of decomposed gravel makes a horrible mess (we know this all too well from personal experience), while a thin-legged wrought iron chair is apt to catch between decking or sink into soft soil. One set we tested—the Mercury Row Nikoleta—was perfectly suited for the smooth surface of a concrete patio or a wood deck, but when placed on tiled concrete pavers the chair legs consistently caught between the pavers, resulting in a few awkward arms-flailing exits from the table. If your intended surface isn't uniform and flat, look for a table and chairs with wider feet, ideally outfitted with levelers to adjust for uneven surfaces.
Decide on the seating you want
Many people daydream of backyard barbeques, summer brunches, and other social gatherings with friends, yet the majority of patio sets will mostly be used by just two to four people. If you do host larger groups regularly, patio sets with bench seating offer more flexibility to comfortably fit six to eight people; we also think bench-style settings are inherently more fun and informally intimate. The trade-off is the loss of back support of a traditional chair—an omission some guests might notice—but remember, you can always mix and match and intersperse chairs at the ends or on one side of a long table and add a bench to the other. Our wood-set pick, the IKEA Äpplarö, also comes as an alternative set that includes a bench with two armchairs, or you can purchase individual matching benches.
Which brings us to a sub-category of outdoor furniture often referred to as outdoor lounge or conversation sets. Fashioned after living room couches and sectionals, these cushioned pieces are not explicitly advertised for dining, but you'll often find outdoor lounge sets at posh hotels providing guests a comfortable place to drink, snack, and converse for hours on end. They've become increasingly popular in larger backyards, offering those with a preference and proclivity for informal entertaining a more relaxed and adaptable seating arrangement. Prices run similar to their traditional patio dining set counterparts, falling somewhere between $300 to $800, with most lounge sets made with acacia wood and accessorized with water-resistant cushions.
Tips for picking the right style
We recommend following a few guidelines when choosing a set to make sure the style harmonizes with your outdoor space:
- Bring your indoor decor outside: Imagining the outdoors as an extension of the rest of your home can help establish a continuation between interior and exterior living spaces. Look for outdoor sets that will result in a cohesive design scheme and smooth transition between the indoors and out.
- Look for complementary elements: Choosing colors, shapes, and patterns drawn from outdoor surroundings can provide an easily identifiable theme. Draw from a color palette from your landscaping or the surrounding architecture for visual harmony.
- Contrast surfaces and materials: Don't be afraid to veer away from matching materials or proportions. Contrast establishes a hierarchical relationship between furnishings and setting. For example: A metal dining set paired with an all-wood deck is much more interesting than an entirely all-wood setup. Similarly, contrast in scale creates interesting dynamics. If your patio is surrounded by tall trees, a wide and low outdoor lounge set will result in a more intimate environment, while also accentuating the presence of the surroundings.
- Choose simplicity over busy: When in doubt, err on the side of caution and pick a less busy and simple design. This is also practical advice; simpler forms tend to break less often than the complicated and adorned counterparts.
Other considerations
If you live in a hot and sunny locale and intend to station your dining set out in the open, you'll likely want to look for sets with a predrilled hole to secure an umbrella, especially if you are leaning toward a set constructed with metal.
For those on the shorter or taller end of the stature scale, we recommend demoing patio dining tables and chairs in person before purchasing to see if the seat height is comfortable for you. One not exceptionally short tester noticed that a chair-table combination in our test group resulted in meals served noticeably closer to the face. Despite arguments that the shorter distance to deliver from plate to mouth would be more efficient, she understandably insisted a higher seat or lower table was preferable.
Materials
Most people select an outdoor furniture set based primarily on aesthetics and the style of their home, but before you fall in the love with the way a set looks, consider how well it will wear over the course of many seasons (and how much you're willing to maintain it). Some materials—like wood—require annual maintenance to keep them looking good, while others can weather the elements for years without any upkeep. Colder and wetter regions introduce issues of rot and rust, making resin-wicker and plastic-resin construction the more prudent options unless you're committed to the regular care required of wood and metal.
Wood
All of the designers we consulted cited teak as the gold standard of wood for outdoor patio dining sets, noting a well-made teak dining set could last for decades. Of course, you'd need to purchase a high-quality set (teak is rated in three grades—A, B, and C—with only the first grade considered truly weather-resistant without regular protective treatments). Calvin Abe, principal architect at the design firm AHBE also praised the tropical hardwood ipe, while furniture designer Aaron Van Holland noted acacia's abundance makes it one of the more affordable options widely available. Within our sub-$800 price category, we focused on wood sets made of acacia or eucalyptus.
Among popular outdoor-furniture materials, wood generally requires the most maintenance. "Rain and moisture causes wood to swell and shrink. Temperature does that too, and UV rays are just hard on everything," landscape designer Maggie Lobl told us. "Any wood that's outside is going to require almost annual maintenance," said Russ Cletta, also a Southern California landscape designer.
You can clean a wood table with a mild soapy solution if needed, but usually a small hand brush should suffice for removing outdoor debris and wayward crumbs from the surface (and do use a brush; once while one of our writers was vigorously wiping bird seeds off their wood picnic table, they impaled a nearly 2-inch-long splinter into their palm, resulting in stitches and a tetanus shot). Using a protective waterproof cover before rain and snow will likely extend the set's life. Depending on the furniture's degree of exposure to the elements, you might want to sand and stain or oil your table once a year or once every couple of years. With most hardwoods you can also choose to forgo staining and simply allow your wood to weather to a silvery gray.
Metal
What rot is to wood, rust and corrosion is to metal. The metal dining sets you encounter may be made of steel (bring along a magnet while shopping to check for steel-made parts), cast aluminum, or even stainless steel. Most sets are treated with rust-resistant coatings, and our research found that few people experience any rust problems within the first few years of buying a new set. When rust does form, it's usually discovered in areas where moisture is apt to pool or most slowly evaporate, like the underside of chairs and tables (look for sets equipped with stainless steel screws and hardware for additional protection against corrosion).
Regular cleaning requires only a mild soapy solution—say, 1 tablespoon liquid dish soap to 1 gallon of water. You can also hose off this type of furniture. If rust spots form, you can usually sand or scour them off with sandpaper or steel wool, and repainting is always an option (spray paint often works well; purchasing a color-matched touch-up paint at the time of purchase is an even better plan). Many reviewers say they've had success with Rust-Oleum.
The high-end designers we spoke with identified cast aluminum as the most popular type of outdoor metal furniture today. It has the advantage of being very lightweight, strong, and easy to clean. Cast-aluminum options less than $800 are few and far between.
Resin wicker
The popularity of this modern answer to traditional wicker furniture has exploded in recent years, with slick, basketlike textures found everywhere from rooftop bars to beachfront resorts to suburban backyards. "Wicker" itself is not a specific material but a weaving technique. Your grandmother's wicker might have been made from willow branches, bamboo, rattan, or reeds. Today's resin wicker—also called "all-weather wicker"—is generally made of steel or aluminum wire wrapped with a paper or plastic material. You'll want to look for sets made with high-density polyethylene wicker, not cheaper PVC, which unravels easily (cheaper PVC is recognized by its shinier and tacky-feeling finish). The material is lightweight, stain and UV resistant, and exhibits exceptional tensile strength that keeps the simulated strands tightly woven. It also won't stick to the skin like cheaper PVC alternatives.
One reason for resin wicker's popularity is its easy upkeep. Just wipe down with a damp cloth, soapy or not—or pull out the hose for a tough job. This type of furniture is often used in sunrooms, as well as on patios and deck areas. Companies sometimes recommend that these outdoor sets remain covered when not in use to protect the plastic resin from UV damage, which will eventually lead to deterioration or breakage.
Plastic resin
Just because plastic does not rust, warp, or rot like other material options, that does not mean plastic does not require any maintenance. But of all materials, plastic-resin surfaces are the easiest to clean, usually requiring only a quick spray and wipe with an all-purpose cleaner for surface spills or a hose-down for a more complete makeover. Tougher surface stains or mildew can usually be removed safely using a cleaning paste made with water and baking soda or a melamine foam sponge (like a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser). Start lightly to avoid excessive surface abrasion. Any plastic resin, just like resin wicker, is susceptible to becoming brittle and eventually breaking with excessive UV exposure, so we advise keeping your set under a shaded section of the yard, under an umbrella or shade sail, to extend its life.
Other good patio furniture
Note: Due to pandemic-related shortages and high demand (see our note at the top of this guide), a lot of the sets in this section are regularly sold out. If you happen to find one, we recommend grabbing it while it's around.
Novogratz Paulette Outdoor Table + Bench Set
With powder-coated steel hairpin legs and a synthetic wood that's easy to clean and maintain, this three-piece picnic-bench set stands out for its midcentury-inspired design (plus the choice of four colorful accents). It seats up to four and is compact enough to fit across a deck or large balcony. But note that hairpin legs are best placed upon level and hard surfaces, excluding this design from natural or gravel-covered yards. It's a little smaller than we'd like, too, and it doesn't have a lot of reviews online yet, but as soon as we're able to test it, this set may become our next top pick.
Hampton Bay Walnut Cove 5-Piece Steel Outdoor Patio Dining Set
We had this set slated to become a pick, but it went out of stock right before we published our update to this guide—and according to Home Depot, it doesn't seem to be coming back this season. If you're looking for a durable patio dining set with the casual charm of picnic-bench seating, and you happen to find this set anywhere, this easy-to-clean powder-coated five-piece set is a solid choice. It easily accommodates up to eight adults and gets stellar reviews for being easy to build. The mocha-hued "wood grain" won't fool anyone up close, but the powder-coated steel plank-style tabletop requires only wipe-on, wipe-off cleaning, not the annual maintenance of a real wood set.
IKEA Själland
We had high hopes for IKEA's six-chair and table set, only to be disappointed to discover that it's neither available in-store nor ready for delivery to most zip codes around the country. As soon as we can see it in person or get our hands it, we'll update this guide accordingly.
Modway Maine Outdoor 5-Piece Patio Dining Set
The apparent strength and durability of this aluminum and plastic dining set—offering support up to 331 pounds per chair—are offset by reports of improperly attached or loosened slats, possibly attributable to poor-quality screws. Even though the white and gray set seems to be consistently available for under $800, the brown and gray version is available only for more than $1,000, putting it well beyond our budget requirement for this guide.
The competition
Wood
Vifah Malibu Eco-Friendly 5-Piece Wood Outdoor Dining Set
We originally saw this eucalyptus set on sale on Target.com for $480. Since then we've seen the price climb higher than $600. It's not sold in stores, so we were unable to examine it in person. Even at the sale price, this set compares poorly in value to other options.
Amazonia Arizona 5-Piece Eucalyptus Round Dining Set
This attractive eucalyptus set has a round table rather than the square or rectangular kinds that seem more common in inexpensive hardwood tables at this size. It has strong reviews, but we felt the IKEA Äpplarö was a stronger contender in our price range.
Bali Outdoor 3-Piece Wood Picnic Set by Christopher Knight Home
A contemporary take on the classic picnic bench, this slat-style three-piece set in acacia wood is modestly sized and priced. Designed to comfortably seat four—maybe even more if you're willing to get cozy—the set is, owners report, very easy to assemble, though a few make mention of the necessity of sealant as a precautionary measure against the elements.
Mantega 6pc Rectangle Metal Patio Dining Set
If you're looking for a larger bench-style option designed to comfortably seat six, we think this Target steel and acacia set hits the mark in its simplicity, both aesthetically and also for its no-assembly required setup—the table and bench legs pull out and lock into place.
Metal
Cambridge Nova 7-Piece Rectangular Outdoor Dining Set
This was the nicest-looking aluminum set we found for less than $800, but unfortunately it has been unavailable for months at this writing and may have been discontinued. It's lighter than other metal sets, so it's easier to move, and it wears well thanks to scratch- and weather-resistant finishes. We'll update this guide when and if it becomes available again.
Arlington House Glenbrook 5-Piece Patio Dining Set
This excellent dining set is extremely similar to our recommended steel pick, with a 42-inch-diameter table and unusually comfortable, springy chairs. If our pick goes out of stock or goes up in price, we're certain that the Glenbrook set is an excellent backup option if you can find it. Because its chairs have higher backs, it would also likely be a better choice for people looking for more back or neck support.
Mainstays Alexandra Square 5-Piece Patio Dining Set
This ultra-budget set from Walmart looks decent and comes with cushions. But the table is on the small side at 38 inches across, and the reviews are mixed, with several new owners experiencing significant problems at assembly and doubting that the set will hold up well over time.
Collier Patio Dining Collection
With a faux cane-back design, Target's rust-resistant finished steel frame outdoor dining set is subjectively more stylish than most outdoor dining sets falling within the sub-$1,000 price range. Unfortunately the set is sold out and unlikely to be restocked.
All-weather wicker
Christopher Knight Home Cliff Outdoor 5-piece Wicker Dining Set
This set comes in much darker shades of brown and gray than the other resin-wicker sets we looked at. And unlike other sets, it has a table made completely of wicker rather than a glass tabletop incorporated into a wicker frame. It also doesn't come with cushions.
