It’s easy to stay within your budget, but if you’d rather splurge, there are plenty of options on the higher end of the pricing spectrum as well.

Best for: Patio furniture that’s pretty enough to double as indoor furniture.

Birch Lane’s all-weather, rot-resistant outdoor pieces are incredibly reliable—and that’s a word we don’t throw around lightly when it comes to patio furniture.
