Are Costco's Swivel Chairs A Patio Game-Changer? Here's What Shoppers Say

From outdoor bars and dining sets to grills and fire pits, Costco literally has everything you need for a complete patio makeover. A most recent addition to the collection is the Henredon Calis 4-piece Outdoor Seating — just in time for al fresco season. Originally priced at $2,479, the set is now $480 off, making it $1,999 at the time of writing. While it might seem like a splurge, reviewers agree that it's worth every penny. In the words of one satisfied shopper, "This set exceeds my expectations." They go on to add, "The quality is superb and adds the perfect je ne sais quoi to my backyard."

Let's go over the specs. The ensemble includes an 85-inch long (three-seater) sofa, two 35-inch armchairs, and a 50-inch coffee table front and center. In other words, it can make any patio feel like a living room. Each piece is made of aluminum and upholstered in Sunbrella fabric, promising resistance against rusting and fading. But just in case, it also comes with a cover for when bad weather rolls in. Oh, and four throw pillows are offered as a bonus. These finishing touches give the set that comfy, let's-talk-for-hours feel.

There's much to love about Costco's Henredon Calis conversation set. Some buyers raved that zero assembly was required. Another was pleased with the craftsmanship and comfortable seating. "Wide chairs and a long couch for taking a nap!" the review reads. Add the clean-lined, modern design to the list, and you have the perfect blend of functionality and style. Granted, it's only available in a black and gray colorway — but you can always perk up your patio with colorful throws and a patterned outdoor rug.

Perhaps the stars of the show here are the patio chairs. They look like any other set at first glance, but they can actually rotate 360 degrees. What's so great about that, you ask? For one, you get to keep tabs on everything happening around you, be it kids playing in the yard, your significant other barbecuing in the corner, or your pet napping in the shade. At the same time, you can easily turn and face the person you're talking to. Or, if you want to, swivel in and out of the sunlight. All this without straining your neck or getting up. Just note that the chairs only swivel and can't rock/glide.
