To make the most out of your deck or backyard, outdoor furniture is a must. So pull up a patio chair and take a peek at the outdoor patio shades selection that Target offers. Whether you’re looking for just a outdoor bar patio table, outdoor chairs or a complete patio set, we’ve got what you need. Small-space sets, like bistro sets, are designed for balconies or little porches.
The Ollie Outdoor Large Platform ($2,950) is also nice for plopping in the empty grounds of your backyard — especially for using your outdoor projector to watch films underneath the stars. Aesthetically, we love the look of the brand’s Sausalito Dining Chair ($698) and Pacifica Sofa ($2,998). You’re looking for a brand that screams ‘extremely classy,’ this is it. Shop the Clihome Patio Conversation 4-Piece Set ($773) for a Hamptons-inspired entertainer that’s a beaut right now. Or, Best Selling Home’s Ottavio Outdoor Daybed ($664) is a pretty great buy to create a Havana from the safe haven of your backyard. Specifically, we adore the Linon Jiles Outdoor 4-Piece Chat Seat with Seat Cushions ($910), along with the brand’s 3-Piece Teak Café Set ($310) which is situated for indoor and outdoor use.
At best, the wrong combination can prove bothersome, and at worst, dangerous. One dining set we tested—the Mercury Row Nikoleta—was perfectly suited to the smooth surface of a concrete patio or a wood deck. Yet when the set was 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 wide feet, ideally outfitted with levelers to adjust for uneven surfaces.
Select items also come with free shipping, and in-store pick-up is offered as well. The beachy, coastal vibe of Frontgate’s patio furniture collection makes any patio setup feel like a mini vacation. Breathable outdoor patio shades materials like wide-woven wicker and breezy upholstery fabrics only add to that relaxed feeling. Best of all, while Frontgate’s furnishings are certainly luxurious, they don’t feel stuffy or highbrow.
