25 best outdoor furniture pieces on Amazon

Amazon is one of the most convenient places to shop for outdoor furniture. The online retailer isn’t just great for last-minute gifts and Prime Day savings; it’s also an easy one-stop shop for all of your home essentials, including quality backyard furniture that you can get fast. Whether you’re shopping on a budget or looking to invest in outdoor patio furniture that’s worth the splurge, Amazon has plenty of pieces that will easily upgrade your space.

“Amazon is a great place to shop for patio furniture due to its vast selection, competitive pricing and convenience,” says Mina Lisanin, designer and founder of ML Interiors in New York City. “You can find a wide range of styles and brands all in one place, often with customer reviews to help guide your decision.”

But with thousands of options at your fingertips, from fire pits to furniture and decor, scrolling Amazon for the best products to transform your patio into a backyard backyard oasis can get overwhelming.

Lisanin says there are five simple things to do when shopping for outdoor furniture on Amazon.

  • Read customer reviews: Focus on high ratings and detailed, verified purchase reviews.
  • Check product specifications: Ensure materials are weather-resistant and UV-protected.
  • Look for detailed descriptions: Verify dimensions, materials and care instructions.
  • Consider assembly requirements: Choose easy-to-assemble or pre-assembled items if needed.
  • Evaluate warranty and return policy: Look for good warranties and understandable return procedures.

To help you out, we tapped interior designers for their favorite pieces. Here are 25 backyard finds from Amazon that are worth buying, according to experts.

“Adding a note of interest to your outdoor space makes it more enticing for people to spend time there,” says DiRocco. “This is the perfect chair to place in a corner that might be too small for a set of chairs, making it suitable for a private space for someone to curl up with a good book on a nice day or enjoy a glass of wine on a summer evening.”

When we tested smokeless fire pits, there’s a reason why we named this corten steel beauty as our favorite splurge. It stood out with the largest heat capacity and cooking surface (we’re talking enough room to grill up to 46 hamburger patties at one time) and its durability — backed by a lifetime warranty — makes it a worthwhile investment.
