Best Pool and Outdoor Furniture
Posted on 6/18/16 at 7:00 pm

Im terms of price and quality, what are the best brands for outdoor furniture? Right now I'm researching to find some stuff that is the best value - good quality at a good price.
We are finishing up with a pool and patio installation and looking to get table, chairs, storage stuff, etc.
Ideally this would be some commercial grade stuff or something durable that will withstand the climate... Or at least some really durable residential stuff that still looks nice.
Any suggestions on brands to get or brands to avoid?

Save money, live better. Wal-Mart.

I would skip Pottery Barn and go straight to Restoration Hardware. It's a pool after all... the status symbol of all status symbols. Leave the price tags on.

When my parents best friends lived in Los Angeles they had a pool, so did the neighbors.

You need some good quality powder coated made-for-pool furniture. People are going to be getting in and out of the pool and sitting wet butts down and anything not up to the task will corrode. We have a Winston 5' table and 4 chairs we bought about 4 years ago. Was like 3k. Under the patio we have a set from Sams from that no one sits on wet and it has lasted pretty good. Or you can just go to Restoration Hardware like someone said and pay $4k for a patio sofa.

I prefer mesh seating if someone will be sitting on it wet.

This thread is meeting my expectations, but I figured it was worth a shot to ask.
The background is that in the past when I have tried to save money on outdoor stuff - furniture, grill covers, etc it seems to fall apart in the LA and TX heat and humidity.
So I would rather spend a little more and have something last ten years than buy all new stuff every three years.
My car is almost 10 years old and well maintained. I'm a value shopper, not a baller.

We bought a set from Macy's a few years ago and it looks as new as the day it arrived. The chairs came fully assembled (all one welded piece) and the table just needed to have the legs screwed on.
We have been very happy with it. It was a good medium between cheap walmart/sams crap and $5k at Pottery Barn.

Big difference between walmart and sams furniture IMO

I'm not saying there couldn't be, but I just saw the stuff at the ~$499 price point and wasn't impressed with the quality.
FWIW, they don't carry the Macy's stuff in store. They ship it freight, it literally took 3 months to come in. That part did suck.
To OP, if you search that brand/name, they have some other pieces as well (chaise set, rockers, bar height table, etc.)

Frontgate has really nice, quality outdoor furniture, but it is expensive. There is not a store in Louisiana that I am aware of; so, you have to order online from frontgate.com
They have pretty good sales and they do have an "outlet" section.
I really like the umbrella's from Sam's. Have had one for 4 years now and it still looks really good.

We just bought Mallin furniture. The chairs swivel and rock. Very comfortable and the fabric dries quickly. It has a great warranty.
Mine look similar to this.

Meadowcraft for pool furniture. Made in the USA!

Target or Costco.
Depending on where you live. I'll tell you out here in the plains of Katy, TX it doesn't matter what you spend. The sun will ruin, dry out, fade, and make all look like shite in 3 summers. You can spend $1200 or $12,000.

Go teak and you'll have lifetime outdoor furniture.
Sunbrello fabrics hold up nicely as well.
