I’m an interior designer, and these are Amazon’s best Memorial Day patio furniture sales

Memorial Day is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than to take advantage of all the great savings to spruce up the yard and patio this season? My professional recommendation to start you off: you need a great furniture set, with plenty of comfy seats for friends and family to shift your world al fresco. Think of all the barbeques and late nights by the firepit… they all require some updated seating.

Amazon has some great deals on patio furniture, from the luxe, comfy sectionals to simple, no-nonsense practicality. Whatever you need, it can get to you in a jiffy, just in time for summer. Check out some of my favorite styles below — I dare you to compare them to expensive lines sold elsewhere for style and comfort — and take a sneak peek at these other amazing Memorial Day deals too.

Said a convert, “I thought these would just be some cheap folding chairs. And maybe they are. BUT the instant I sat in them and reclined, I wanted to take a nap. This should not be as comfortable as it is. I can’t speak to the longevity or durability, and they are kind of big and clunky… But man just the ability to lie down comfortably in a zero gravity pose off the ground anywhere you want is worth the price. Since we bought the pair of chairs, my wife and I have sat outside every night reclining and watching the stars.”

Said one of hundreds of five star raters, “This table is perfect for small spaces. I have this on a back porch with limited space; if needed, I can move it with the top folded down to make more room. I love this table. My favorite things about this item are: Great finish on the table, very stylish; quick and easy assembly; adjustable feet to level if necessary; adjustable fold-down top. Everything I needed in one table. It’s a great product!”

Said a fan, “I am amazed at what high quality this furniture set is, and how heavy duty it is also! The woven rattan is thick, durable and the black and white colors are vivid and beautiful. The material is wrapped entirely around the back and seat of the chairs. The steel frames on the table and chairs are very sturdy and heavy with plastic slotted foot pads on the bottoms to prevent any scratching to flooring… All three pieces of furniture fold up easily and tightly for easy storage. The rattan is woven very tightly so there is no sagging and it is very comfortable sitting in the chairs. I don’t have much room in my small home for furniture so this compact set is perfect especially since they can be folded up when not in use…”

Said a thrilled reviewer, “I’ve been searching for patio furniture for quite some time now, and I think I’ve found the perfect fit for us. Since we have a smaller garden, we didn’t want anything too bulky, and this set is just right. Now that we have this beautiful set in our backyard, my family and I can relax after dinner, while my friend and I enjoy a cup of tea. It has truly transformed our outdoor space, making it more enjoyable than ever before. As someone who typically doesn’t buy furniture online, the fact that they offer a 3-year warranty gives me confidence and speaks to the durability of their product. I am very happy with the purchase.”

Said a thrilled shopper: “I love how sturdy and lightweight it is! Super cute and it quickly became my 4-year-old’s favorite snuggle spot! I feel like I could put it anywhere inside or outside.”

One happy customer said, “I love this set. Came super fast, easy to assemble, sturdy and comfortable!” Others are touting the quality for such a low price.

Said a happy camper, “This set is great for the money. We paid for the service that Amazon offers to have this put together. There were many parts and although it probably wouldn’t have been hard to do, glad we paid to have it done. Took a couple of hours for the guy to do it. The fire table works well. We did purchase covers for the seating to keep everything protected and clean. Would buy again.”

“The perfect deal for sunny days. Comfort is great! Love having friends over for dinner and enjoying our time at this table outside. Good quality for the price. Happy I got it,” said a high-rater.

These chairs get high marks. Said a fan, “Excellent quality and value. These will last a very long time. Easy to put together with stainless hardware.”

Said a pleased reviewer, “This smokeless fire pit is the perfect centerpiece to our back deck. We have a gazebo with a small fan / vent in the top, which means we can have a fire going even in the rain. But we were tired of getting smoked out by our little open traditional fire pit we used to have, so we upgraded to this one. More warmth and less smoke — looks nicer too!”
