If false spring has you yearning for relaxing days out on the patio, now's the time to make sure it's all decked out for when spring actually comes. Note that this includes just the umbrella, not the table! Promising review: "I normally don’t like buying products like this sight unseen, but I’m very pleased with the look and especially with the solar lighting. We enjoyed a pleasant evening on the deck with just the right amount of ambient light tonight, and we are hopeful that it will prove to be durable." —Dee Get it from Amazon for $72.99+ (available in 11 color combos). Promising review: "Fun and versatile. These flower pots add an excellent pop of color to our deck. They are a good size and come in a variety of cheerful colors. I have been using them for about a month, and they seem to be of good quality. I am very happy with this purchase." —Ekie B. Get 10 from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and black, white, or multicolor). Promising review: "Heaven in a chair. Love everything about the zero-gravity chair! This is my first time sitting in a chair like this...and I love it. I fell asleep outside, and it felt better than a hammock. I bought the beige...love the color. The fabric feels like tough nylon. It has already rained on my chair, so I can attest that the chair is waterproof. The water beads off the fabric. I dried off the chair easily and effortlessly. The attachable table is adorable and fits perfectly on the chair's frame. So happy I purchased." —tgi2day Get a set of two from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in 52 colors/styles). Promising review: "I have received a lot of compliments regarding this little cooler/table and for the price, I'm very happy with the purchase. We were looking for a smaller table to complement our larger patio set. After our last party, I think I may have made a couple of sales for the Keter brand. The cooler kept drinks cold for quite a while especially considering we didn't put much ice in it. The standing feature is nice too. Just lock the table in the open position and you can use it for a tall drink stand which works well. If you're looking for a little table for a patio set OR for a little patio cooler this product can take care of both needs." —Phenom13 Get it from Amazon for $66.82+ (available in two colors). Promising review: "I’ve had it for two years, and it’s great. I just use a regular wall, so I assume it would look even better on an actual screen. The video is at 135 inches, and the quality is pretty good (looks better in person). It’s like having a movie theater at home. I use some old speakers, and they work perfectly. 100% recommended. Definitely worth more than $100." —Andrés Acuña González Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in three styles). The screen is 120 inches and made of an anti-crease material. It also comes with brackets and ropes for mounting purposes. Promising review: "This screen is perfect for our use. We bought it for outdoor movie nights, whether being on the garage door, in the backyard, camping, or inside the garage. It’s very easy to install with no wrinkles and shows a great picture. I’ve attached pictures (above) that show how well I can still see the picture despite being surrounded by 7,000 Christmas lights in close vicinity." —Hallie H. Promising review: "I have ordered four boxes of these light sets now. I love love love these lights. When they arrived, I plugged them in while they were still in the package to make sure they all worked. Then I unscrewed all the bulbs to make it easy to hang. I hung them up all around my balcony using a staple gun. When I finished, I screwed in all the light bulbs. :) I would highly recommend these lights. They are PINTEREST perfect!" —Cora Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in seven sizes and four colors/styles). Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble, and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel! Long, but worthwhile promising review: "Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The setup/take down is super easy, and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300-plus pounds in it. The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position...no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it...no problem. It works great as a traditional hammock to lie in. It works as a 'swing' to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you're cold or want to block out light or bugs. We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times, and it dries great, hasn't faded from the sun, hasn't had any mold, and hasn't developed any weird smell. Things not to love: Nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks, but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat." —Mary Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in a variety of colors and three fabric types). Promising review: "Absolutely love this couch! Had it for a while at this point, and it really brings my patio together. Had plenty of people come over for cookouts, and everyone compliments me on how comfortable it is and how good it looks! Super easy to assemble, and has lasted me many months so far. Definitely worth the money!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $279.99 (available in two sizes and three colors). This set includes two armchairs with seat cushions and a side table with a tempered glass top. Promising review: "I absolutely love this set. 😍 I cannot believe the price. It shipped fast and was fairly quick and easy to assemble. It’s a hit. I get so many compliments." —Mrs.Mathews Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in five colors). Promising review: "My original feeder from another brand leaks, and I had to change the color of the flowers to create interest. In the meantime, I saw that many hummingbird live cam operators use this feeder, so I bought one out of curiosity. Easy setup, easy cleaning, and the hummingbirds took to it right away. And it doesn't leak!! I can hear the hummingbirds complaining that the feeder is missing when I am cleaning it, and they head right back to it as soon as I hang it back up. I still use my original feeder at a nearby location, but "business" is definitely better at this First Nature feeder. I have had no problems with bees using the feeder." —Doog Get it from Amazon for $13.53+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "Great value. Weber out did themselves on this gem. Great for a small deck or small yard. Great for a cookout or small gathering. Great food, easy clean up, and very sturdy." —Kimberly Promising review: "These grill lights are exactly what I needed! They light up the area so well. The magnets are strong, and the ability to direct the light where needed is great. The package they came in is perfect to store them in when not in use! I have recommended these to several people who also think they are great. I was worried they would be cheap and maybe not have a lot of magnetic hold to them, but they do!!" —LC Promising review: "We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note...If you take care of your things — i.e. cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — It will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable, and made very well!! And it only took my hubby and I 25–30 minutes to put together. Take my word for it...you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" —Marash Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in 16 colors). Promising review: "This is a great value and it was very easy to assemble! We used it recently and found it to be a great addition to our backyard and it helped keep the mosquitoes away! As the weather has gotten colder at nights I’ve been impressed by how sturdy the fire pit is and by the wonderful heat that it provides us!" —Arthur Glauberman Get it from Amazon for $159+ (available in two sizes and colors). Promising review: "OMG this is cute and super easy to assemble. I got the red and kinda wish I had gotten the blue...oh but all the colors are so cute!! Debating buying a second one so each porch chair has its own table. This really is so incredibly versatile. I could see it on a porch, as a minimalist side table, in a kid's room, a place to keep plants...I wouldn't put anything tremendously heavy on it, but as far as tables at this price go, this is the best!" —Meghan McD Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three styles and a variety of colors). Snag a compatible weighted base to keep your umbrella from blowing away! Promising review: "I like this umbrella because the spines and base are sturdy instead of those thin, wiry spines on some umbrellas. Much better to hold up to being upended in the wind. It also has the tilt feature, which is great for this price point. The cloth covering is thick and will hold up to the elements. Also, the size is perfect." —Sarah Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in 15 colors). The corners of the sails have D rings so you can attach them to whatever you'd like with your choice of hardware or rope. Promising review: "Purchased this to increase privacy and provide some shade. The color is vibrant, hasn't faded, and the loops are well-stitched. The sail has also fared well in winds, thunderstorms, monsoon rain, and the brutal heat of Vegas. The shade is wonderful, and one can definitely feel the temperature difference from full sun to being under this sail. The look and feel complements our pool area, and we will certainly be purchasing an additional one." —VHC Media Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in a variety of sizes and colors/patterns). Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. Construction seems sturdy. Dimensions and style were perfect for the small patio space I was looking to get use out of, and the egg shape of the chairs is very comfortable. I paired them with a seagrass outdoor rug, faux fur chair pads, a bean bag style poof footstool and some boho throw pillows, and love how the space was instantly transformed. I highly recommend this set." —Baby blues Get it from Amazon for $164.99+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "My favorite purchase for our deck. I LOVE this fire table. Good size, great value compared to what is out there. Packaged nicely. My husband put it together alone in 30–45 minutes with no frustration and easy-to-follow directions. Puts out a decent amount of heat. Enough rocks to adequately cover. Just add your propane tank. I love that it has a lid as well. You will find sturdier fire tables, but not at this price. Excellent value." —MGF Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles). 1Man1Garage is a small business based in Nashville, Tennessee, that offers a variety of cool artisan designs that are made with care. Promising review: "Very happy with this product, love the concept as well as the quality." —Hayleigh Get it from 1Man1Garage on Etsy for $25+ (available in two styles). My Beachside Style is a Sydney, Australia-based shop offering a range of island-inspired cushions, pet beds, and tableware. Promising review: "Awesome...everything I expected!! Recipient L😍VES it!!" —Esmae Berryman Get it from My Beachside Style on Etsy for $132.95+ (available in sizes S–L and three colors). Promising review: "Love it. It is perfect for the deck, our outside 'kitchen'. Since it's next to the grill, we can put the extra food we plan to put on the grill on it, along with seasonings. We also put an electric pan on it so we can fry food outside instead of smoking up the house. We keep that pan underneath, along with the grilling utensils. Its use is unlimited." —Tracey Get it from Amazon for $215.99+ (available in two sizes and colors). Promising review: "This is an absolutely gorgeous bench! The rope/wood are even more beautiful in person. It was also (besides a couple of awkwardly placed screws) very easy to assemble. I’m not great with putting things together, and I had no problem doing it by myself. I love it!" —A reader Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "I am now the proud owner of THREE of these dog pools. I have an XXL, an XL, and an S pool for our backyard 'frogs' that wouldn't stay out of the big pools! Yes, I bought the frogs their own pool...that's how amazing these pools are! We had the XXL and XL pools out every day last summer (changed the water twice per week), and they were used daily by all three dogs. "There have been no punctures of any sort or any issues at all with these pools, and my dogs can play pretty rough at times. The XXL pool was used for both the 2018 and 2019 summers without issue. These pools are literally my dogs' favorite part of summer...I can't keep them out of them! As soon as we get back from a walk, they jump right in!" —Kate M Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six sizes and three colors/styles). Promising review: "I’m impressed with these. Assembly was very easy and took little time. I assembled them inside my house and moved them out to the garden afterward. These are good weights to them, even when empty. They feel and look like a high-quality product. I used a staple gun and lightly tacked the liner up to the edges of the bed. This made it much easier to fill the beds with soil. A few days after filling with soil and seeds, we had six days of all-day, non-stop rain. The beds held up beautifully and show no signs of wear. I am currently growing a whole crop of gourds in the beds. These are performing beautifully. I am thinking I will buy one or two more. Highly recommended!" —Rae I Get it from Amazon for $74.99+ (available in three sizes and seven colors). Promising review: "Easy to assemble and looks beautiful!" —Amy D Get it from Target for $199 (available in seven colors). Promising review: "This is a nice, well-constructed patio set. The assembly took me 45 minutes for four chairs and the table. It appears to be made of aluminum. It is well constructed and sturdy. I find the chairs to be comfortable, and there is enough room on the table for four people to have a meal or drinks. A few cushions for the seats make the chairs even better. There is a hole in the middle of the table for an umbrella if one chooses to buy one. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase." —TBEventer Get a five-piece set from Amazon for $374.99+ (available in five- or seven-piece sets and four styles). Promising review: "This set is beautiful, good quality — especially for the price and so sleek and bold looking! I ordered this twice because I was so thrilled with the first set I ordered!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available with three cushion colors). Promising review: "The rocking swivel motion is great, and the chair is really comfortable! They look like they will last for years. I still can't believe the low, low price." —Ryan Get a set of two from Target for $219.99. * Things To Make Any Closet In Your House, Well, Better * Easy Ways To Help Make Your Backyard The Best On The Block * Spend A Little, Get A Lot: Home Upgrades That Won't Break Your Budget * Things To Make Your Rental Kitchen Feel More Like A Custom Job * Tips For Hiding All The Parts Of Your Home That Make You Go "Ugh" When You See 'Em * Products That’ll Make Your Home A Dream Home, Even If You Have Zero DIY Skills * Easy Upgrades For Anyone Who Spends A *Lot* Of Time In Their Home Office * These Cozy Finds Will Basically Turn Your Home Into One Big Hug Plus, finds from Article, Etsy, Ikea, Urban Outfitters, Walmart, and Wayfair.
