We hate to brag, but our Personal Shopper series is one of the most useful resources when it comes to shopping for furniture online. In case you’re not familiar with the process, we visit your favorite home retailers and view specific categories of furniture and decor. Then, we write shopping guides for each category that detail which sofa, coffee table, bed frame, or rug is right for your space. But if you thought we stopped thinking about the pieces we tested after publishing the guides, you’d be mistaken. After the fact, we like to curate new lists that focus on even more niche categories, like small-space-friendly sofas. With summer coming up, we wanted our next Personal Shopper breakout list to look at outdoor furniture. We combed through our guides and came away with a handful of stylish and durable pieces, and we also included some that we recently viewed at Pottery Barn but haven’t written about yet, so consider this your sneak preview of what’s to come!
Whether you want to add more lounge seating to your patio for outdoor get-togethers or to find a sleek coffee table for the deck, these picks have you covered. Without further ado, here are the best editor-tested outdoor furniture pieces from West Elm, Burrow, Pottery Barn, and Design Within Reach.
