Contrary to popular opinion, the best outdoor furniture isn’t always the most expensive. In fact, with the launch of so many direct-to-consumer brands, plenty of high-quality pieces are way more accessible than they were, say, a decade ago. Of course, there’s no reason to avoid the luxury outposts, like West Elm, because they tend to offer perks that the online-only places don’t, like free white glove delivery and 24-hour customer service. As is the case with anything: There are pitfalls and benefits to both options.
If you want to get ahead of the game and decorate your outdoor space early this year, now is a good time to start brainstorming. Ahead, you’ll find 16 of our favorite outdoor furniture retailers, including some big-name spots and small businesses worth shopping.

Castlery
Castlery is another online-only retailer that uses high-quality materials. In fact, the brand emphasizes its expert craftsmanship, so you can rest assured that all of the furniture is made with solid wood, woven textiles, and more. This brand definitely does not take the cheap route when it comes to anything, including the shipping and delivery process. That said, it’s not exorbitantly expensive. Though it’s most famous for its collection of sofas and lounge chairs, the outdoor furniture is definitely worth a peek. All of the teak dining tables, wicker sectionals, and cushioned sofas boast the same minimalist look and feel of Castlery’s indoor furniture, so you can buy anything that tickles your fancy knowing that it will fit in with whatever you may already have.

Article
Aside from the actual furniture, the best thing about Article is the buying process. All of the pieces go directly from the manufacture to the brand’s warehouse or store before heading to you. That’s the beauty of direct-to-consumer brands as opposed to fast-furniture alternatives that enlist export agents, wholesalers, international warehouses, and retail outposts. So not only are you paying way less for better quality, but you are also receiving your items within only a few weeks. If you’re looking for beautiful midcentury modern-inspired pieces, Article is a great place to go.

West Elm
Anyone who’s decorated even the tiniest nook in their spaces are probably already familiar with West Elm, which has spent the last 22 years perfecting its craft. Not only is all of the outdoor furniture contract grade, which basically means it’s literally built to be used by lots of people over the course of a many years, but it arrives with free white glove delivery, so there’s no need to stress about putting a massive, heavy sectional together with no tools because the West Elm experts will just do it for you.

Williams Sonoma Home
Though plenty of people may know that Williams Sonoma carries everything you’d ever need for your kitchen, including knives, air fryers, and espresso machines, they may not know that you can also buy all of your furniture here too. The brand has collaborated with more than a few interior designers, such as Sheila Bridges and Jeff Leatham, so you can trust that all of the pieces are stylish.

Anthropologie
Anthropologie’s vast furniture collection features the same kind of bohemian-inspired look as the brand’s clothing and jewelry. There’s also a traditionalism about it that makes us want to decorate our whole house in the coveted warm and cozy vibes. If you want to get a sense of the outdoor pieces, think lots of rattan, unfinished wood, and white-painted metal.

AllModern
As its name implies, AllModern celebrates the midcentury modern movement. Though the furniture is made with contemporary standards (no harsh chemicals, lots of high-quality materials, and relatively affordable prices), the furniture is undeniably inspired by the 1960s. Think gentle curves, no unnecessary ornamentation, and an emphasis on natural materials.

Walmart
Walmart likely won’t be the place you shop for outdoor furniture that will last for decades, but if you want something chic and cheap that will hold up for at least a few years (with regular care and maintenance), this is a good depot to consider. Plus, like Amazon and Wayfair, Walmart carries more than 100 brands that range in price and style.

Frontgate
Frontgate is one of our go-to outposts for elegant furniture that boasts an antique-inspired flare. However, when it comes to outdoor furniture, Frontgate switches things up with a sleek, contemporary design you’ll be drawn to immediately. The only thing is, there’s plenty of furniture to sift through, which can make finding what you want time-consuming and challenging. But don’t worry, not only did we curate an exclusive House Beautiful collection for the brand filled with several must-haves (hello, seven-foot Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree and the Anduze planters), Frontgate also lends out its team of design experts to give you a hand.

Neighbor
The three founders of the fan favorite outdoor furniture brand met as Tuft & Needle employees. They became friends and, only a few years later, started Neighbor, known for its collection of durable, weather-resistant outdoor pieces that don’t skimp on style or sustainability. The brand sells everything from dining tables to outdoor rugs, all with the signature minimalist, easygoing touch.

Yardbird
Yardbird keeps it simple in both its aesthetic and material. In fact, when it comes to the latter, there are only three elements that make up Yardbird’s outdoor furniture: hand-woven rattan, grade-A teak, and rust-proof aluminum. Plus, the Minneapolis-based brand completely elevates the idea of snagging furniture in a set, so if you’re not in the market to buy outdoor furniture à la carte, this is the place to swipe a stylish set.

Tupelo Goods
Tupelo Goods may not have the biggest collection of outdoor furniture, but the pieces it sells—funky chairs, dining tables, and even swings—are beyond cool. We’d even go so far as to say that everything on offer is a conversation piece, especially the iconic Loop chair, which, as its name implies, comprises one giant loop molded into the shape of an ultra-comfortable seat.
