We love a good backyard upgrade. But there’s no outdoor glow-up without the best outdoor furniture. Sure, you might be playing games or mingling with friends, too, but one of the best parts of the season is relaxing, cold drink in hand (optional, but encouraged). The thing about yard furniture is that it’s not always practical, durable, cute, and comfortable. Blending those 4 things can be tricky, but we found pieces that absolutely check all the boxes!
From lounge chairs, dining sets, hammocks, and daybeds, this is the furniture that’ll take your backyard from “oh nice” to “oh wow!”. And of course we know that kids consider anything they can climb on a jungle gym, so we kept it all ready-for-anything. Easy to clean, care for, and store if needed, our picks for the best outdoor furniture will be the icing on your warm weather cake (cake icing in warm weather actually sounds terrible, but we know you get it). Grab your favorite beverage and check it all out below.
SUNFLOW The Shore Thing Chair
If there's anything we know for sure, it's that portable outdoor furniture is never comfortable. SUNFLOW proved us wrong, though. Sure, their thing is ultra-comfortable, lightweight, portable beach chairs. And we love a good beach.
But 'outdoor' doesn't just cover beach days. The backyard, the soccer field, company BBQs...there's nowhere you won't want to hang out in this chair (and it's so easy to take with you!). It reclines to 3 different positions and comes in fun, vibrant colors, so you'll want to grab more than one. So you don't have to share, of course.

LED-Lit Curved Chaise Lounge Chair Swing
The only thing better than a weighless suspended chaise lounge chair you can relax away the day in is one that you can relax in at night, too. It comes with a remote-operated LED light with 3 settings for lounging even after the sun goes down. The canopy is removable and it comes in 4 colors, so you can fully customize your anti-gravity experience all season long!

Wicker Egg Chair
Maybe you're like us and haven't had the best experience with egg chairs. Admittedly, they're notorious for looking cool while being awkward/awful to actually sit in. This one will change your mind, though. It's oversized, which is a huge plus, but when the reviews include phrases like "luxurious cocoon" and "one of the best Amazon purchases of my entire life", we're sold. Afterall, who knows better than an Amazon reviewer? (It's worth mentioning that this is a large chair that you assemble yourself. One reviewer mentioned assembling it in the space you plan to leave it because it didn't fit through their doorway when it was complete. Noted!) Available in 6 colors.
