If you don’t want to replace it every year, outdoor furniture is the category to invest in. You need materials and construction that can stand up to the elements, and designs that you’ll be committed to taking care of (i.e. covering up, sealing). Budget-friendly options should, in particular, be scrutinized: rust-proof steel, marine-grade hardware, rot-resistant wood, and all-weather wicker are just a few keywords to keep in mind. Outdoor tables—whether for dining or lounging—that have one or even a few of these characteristics should last season after season. We sourced coffee tables, side tables, and everything in between from brands we know hit the mark. Here are the pieces on the market right now that we’re loving.

Outdoor Bistro Tables
Bistro tables are more petite than their dining-sized counterparts, perfectly appointed for small patios and balconies. They can also be a more affordable outdoor option without sacrificing quality—our IKEA and Target picks are under $100.

Outdoor Coffee Tables
Outdoor coffee tables take design to further flung places, as Sarah Sherman Samuel’s Lulu and Georgia collection proves. The classic feel of Aerin Lauder’s Williams Sonoma East Hampton line is complemented by all-weather wicker, and Leanne Ford’s table brings her minimalist and textural style to Crate & Barrel.

Outdoor Side Tables
We like to believe that a smaller surface area means slightly less maintenance, which can let you infuse a little more character into outdoor side tables. Try marble here in one of our favorites, the La Paloma table from CB2.
