Buying Guide: How We Chose the Best Furniture Sets
When shopping for the best patio set, these are two things we kept in mind: the material it’s made out of and what needs it fulfills in your space.
Material: The best patio furniture sets should be both weather-resistant and durable. Rattan wicker is capable of braving the elements and also holds up for a long lifetime of use. However, if wicker isn’t your style, there are still plenty of options, like metal and iron. In the case of metal or iron furniture, the best patio furniture sets will be made with rust-resistant coatings. Sets that include coffee tables should be made with tempered glass for easy cleanup.
Usage: The best patio furniture for you may not be your neighbor’s idea of the perfect set, and that is okay. Patio furniture sets fulfill a variety of needs. Some are centered around sectional couches and offer enough seating for the whole family and guests. In other sets, the focal point may be an outdoor dining table.
In both of those cases, the sets we chose are robust and can make an empty patio area instantly homey. On the other hand, some sets are smaller — just what you need if you’re looking for the finishing touch to your existing decor. Such sets may be a pair of chairs, or a more compact chair and table set designed for poolside relaxation.
