When it comes to outdoor furniture [1], we're not here to mess around. We want our furniture comfortable, high-quality, and weather-proof, all for a digestible price — am I right? If you're trying to furnish a whole patio, backyard, deck, or veranda, a sofa set seems to be one of the best deals out there [2]. Each set is accompanied by one or two other furniture pieces — like a table or chair — and is a great way to get your patio ready for summer [3] in one fell swoop. We've turned to a few brands we trust to uncover some of the best outdoor sofa sets on the market. Our favourite is the Noble House Oana Teak Brown Outdoor Sectional Set [4] ($1,112), but there's more where that came from.
What to Look For When Buying an Outdoor Sofa Set
The outdoors is a whole other ball game when it comes to furniture. Aside from searching for a sofa solely based on style [5] (although there are some very cute minimalist and boho sofa sets in here), there are a couple of other important factors to consider such as storage: how do these sofa sets break down for the offseason? Weather resistance: will this set last you a few seasons or a lifetime? Size: how many people do you want this sofa set to fit? And of course, price. Ahead, you can shop our top options from affordable brands like Amazon [6] and The Home Depot [7] to more designer names like West Elm [8]. Keep reading for more.
