Turn your backyard into BBQ party central. ☀️😎 Get it from Joybird for $1,467 (originaly $2,445). Promising review: "Smart table, suits its purpose nicely. We have it on our deck. Brunches and dinners became more fun with this table, whether it is a small party of 3–4 or a bigger crowd up to eight! Easy to extend and put back." —Phillip Promising review: "I love my new rug so far. Very much worth the investment. The unique pattern ties the whole backyard together. I sit outside and admire it any chance I get. Easy setup, very glad it's washable. Love, love, love!" —Darcy Get it from Ruggable for $169+ (available in seven sizes). Promising review: "The table top cornhole game was even BETTER than expected. Dinner was left cold on the table, the ice melted in our drinks, and the dog whined to be fed as we hooted our way to victory... Well, Grandma did, anyway, making a hole in one on her very first try! That motivated the grandkids to try harder, only to be beaten by their Dad. Buy it and try it." —Organizer of family fun Get it from Uncommon Goods for $54 (replacement bean bags are available for $8) Promising review: "I purchased two sets of these lights for an outdoor project. They have a great shine without being too bright." —Allison93 Promising review: "The dragonfly light string adds a subtle and relaxing glow in our hot tub enclosure, enhancing the mood and the experience." —Karen Promising review: "I bought this grill as a Father’s Day gift for my husband, and he absolutely loves it. He’s been wanting a good grill for a while, and this one has been perfect for us. It has four burners, a side burner (he uses it for beans or warming sauces), and a lot of space to cook. He’s already grilled burgers, steaks, and even veggies all at once with no problem. It heats up fast and cooks evenly. The grates are easy to clean, and food doesn’t stick. The side burner is super convenient. It looks really nice and modern in black and silver. It starts right up with the push of a button. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and even happier that my husband is enjoying it so much. It’s been great for family cookouts and weekend BBQs." —Dama Get it from Lowe's for $249+ (available in two sizes and two colors). Promising review: "Absolutely love this rug. The colors in it are subtle and beautiful, and it's soft. Couldn't love it more." —Laura M. Get it from Quince for $99.90+ (available in five sizes and two colors). Promising review: "Oddly soft for what is supposed to be an indoor outdoor rug. Looks great, and has stood up well so far in a high-traffic area." —Beth Get it from Quince for $79.90+ (available in four sizes and three colors). Get it from Anthropologie for $598 (available in two colors). Promising review: "This is such a nice idea for the backyard. It was super easy to put up and held very well. The movie image was very clear, and the screen size was perfect for the family. We put this in our camping bin and will continue using it when we go camping this summer. This would make a great gift for anyone!" —Findinglavendar Promising review: "Used to cover back patio. Was easy to work with and looks great. Haven’t been installed very long, but seems put together well and should last for a long time." —Shelley Get them from Ikea for $29.99+ (available in five versions; comes in packs of nine to cover nine square feet). Promising review: "I was originally just looking for a small gazebo to enjoy the summer, but my wife happened to stumble upon this 12x20 monster. The price was right, so I figured, why not go big? It arrived on a truck, perfectly packed without a scratch. Three of us started the assembly right after brunch and worked straight through the evening. We were finally able to sit back and relax. The polycarbonate panels feel solid, and they actually keep it pretty warm in this weather. It was a long day, but totally worth it. Now I’m just waiting for the summer heat so I can grab a lounge chair, slice up some watermelon, and chill." —anonymous Get it from Lowe's for $699.99+ (originally $970+; available in two sizes). Promising review: "Absolutely love this outdoor sofa! The design elevates my outdoor space and has so much room. I love how easily the cushion covers can be cleaned, and they seem very durable. Very easy and simple to put the furniture together. I’m not sure how the wood will hold up over the long term, but it held up great after one full season. I did purchase Article’s furniture covers — very happy I did this." —Heather D Get it from Article for $1,689+ (available in three configurations and four colors; also available in a set with a coffee table). Promising review: "I absolutely love this firepit and give it five stars! It’s not only functional, but also looks stunning and adds a fancy touch to my backyard. The large size allows you to load plenty of wood, making it perfect for long gatherings. It provides exceptional warmth and easily heats up the entire backyard. We tested it in late November during the chilly Michigan weather, and it didn’t disappoint. With around 10 people gathered around, we stayed outside for about four hours without feeling the cold at all. I highly recommend this firepit to anyone looking for both style and performance!" —Aida Promising review: "Very pleased with this firepit so far. Love the look of it. It came with a cover, lid, poker, and, not to mention, the grill top grid. Can’t wait to use this! So far so good." —Kimberly Get it from Wayfair for $129.99+ (originally $139.99+; available in three sizes and two colors). Promising review: "I've been waiting for this to get restocked, along with the sofa. (Still impatiently waiting on the sofa). So once I saw the table got restocked, I instantly bought it, and let me tell you, this table does not disappoint. There is NO assembly required. It is quite heavy in the box; it might be a two-person job to move it, or have a dolly ready. The ottomans are beautiful and very plush! So comfortable and wide, I doubt anyone's bum will fall asleep sitting on these. Plus, they fit so nicely under the table. The table itself is metal, but as others said, it looks just like wood. My 10-year-old son and I joked that this is the perfect Guess Who or Battleship table. We are currently using it as our coffee table until the weather gets nicer. I highly recommend this table!" —Ash This comes with the bowling pins, two balls, and a carrying bag. Promising review: "I love this pot! It makes me happy and cheerful, and it seems well-made! It gives me MacKenzie-Childs vibes and looks so good and happy! I have one outside and one indoors! I hope they hold up well because I’m smitten with them!" —Leah Get it from Target for $15+ (available in two sizes and two colors). Promising review: "Just set up the Lubek set and am beyond pleased with the quality and the look. Easy to set up. Now we’re ready to entertain!" —Danielle T Get it from Article for $449 (available in two wood stain colors). Promising review: "Inexpensive yard game to entertain guests." —Nancy Get it from Wayfair for $22.99 (originally $45.99). Promising review: "This is just what we wanted for our side yard by the vegetable garden. Now we can dine al fresco while we watch the garden grow. It's the perfect size for 4 people and looks really cute with the black and white umbrella we got to go with it." —Marion "We absolutely love this set. So stylish and comfortable. Looking forward to using for family get together." —Cheryl Promising review: "Love it!! Great spa for the money. Extremely easy setup, just plug in and fill.
