Reviews Prove These Affordable Walmart Patio Furniture Pieces Are Worth Buying

To make sure that you are getting the most out of the warm weather and outdoor activity season, there is no time like the present to start decking out your deck. Although outdoor furniture can be pricey, you don't have to spend a fortune to turn your backyard into an oasis. Whether you are looking for comfortable seating or shade from the sun, Walmart has plenty to choose from, and to help make the shopping process a bit easier, we gathered three of the best outdoor furniture deals they have to offer. 

One great place to find deals on exterior furnishings is Walmart. Not only are its products generally priced low, but it also holds frequent sales that may allow you to get exactly what you were looking for–for even less than you originally planned to spend. The three top picks, including stackable Adirondack chairs, an outdoor furniture set, and a luxe patio umbrella, all led real customers to leave glowing reviews. To choose these products, we selected only items with over 200 ratings and an average rating of at least 4.3/5 stars. We also scoured the reviews to determine how the products performed in the real world — noting where they were deemed excellent and where some shoppers thought they could use a bit of improvement. 

When you think of outdoor furniture, one of the first things to come to mind is probably the Adirondack chair. Although you can DIY your own Adirondack chair from wood planks, you can also find endless options in stores in various colors, styles, and materials that fit your aesthetic and price range. The Real Comfort Outdoor Resin Stackable Adirondack Chair is made with resin that is UV-protected, fade-resistant, and weather-resistant. With over 1,200 reviews, these chairs are an easy customer favorite. "They are plastic but so durable," said one shopper. "We've had them out in all the weather all summer and I haven't noticed any fading." Another customer wrote, "Very comfortable chairs. I easily fall asleep in these. I really wanted the real wooden Adirondack chairs, but they are too expensive. These chairs are smooth, cool on a hot day, and comfy for the big and tall."

While the quality was enough to get customers raving, the price point is also pretty enticing. You can get a single chair for $25 or two for $50. They come in five different color options (four of which are currently available — navy and gray). Since these are carried in most stores, there's a good chance you could also have them delivered on the day of purchase. Despite weighing less than 8 pounds each, they are also quite sturdy, with a 250-pound weight limit. The chairs were also designed with comfort in mind and have a back with built-in lumbar support, so you won't likely need additional cushioning. One issue customers did have was with the seat height being too low, so if you want a chair that makes it easy to get back up, this may not be for you. 

If you have a larger patio space or want to have comfortable seating for a big group of people, an outdoor sectional may be the best choice for you. The Lofka 7-Piece Outdoor Sectional Furniture Set with Glass Coffee Table–once listed at over $800–is currently on sale for just under $310 at Walmart. It has a 4.3 out of 5-star overall rating and a seating capacity of up to six people. The sectional also comes in a smaller, five-piece set that can seat five to six people.

The removable cushions are available in grey and beige and can be easily taken off and cleaned when dirty. While the exterior covering is made of rattan material, it has an internal steel frame, making it particularly strong, with a weight capacity of 265 pounds per seat. Even the coffee table can hold up to 133 pounds, so even though you probably won't use it as a seat, you can rest assured it's sturdy. "This product arrived in two packages on two separate days, the instructions were clear and it was easy to assemble with no power tools required," said one shopper. "It is light in weight and no problem for one person to put together themself." Though most customers seemed to have ordered without a hitch, a few complained of missing parts, so be sure to double-check upon arrival. 

If you have an open patio — a cost-effective alternative to a deck — you may find that days of direct sun or sprinkling rain put it out of commission. To get the most out of your space without going for a full-on gazebo or covered porch, you can save money and have more flexibility by opting for something like this Summit Living 15ft Double-Sided Solar Patio Umbrella, selling for $144. This oversized umbrella is almost like having three umbrellas in one, with a shade coverage of 9 by 15 feet. It comes with a base and two sandbags to keep it securely in place, even on windy days. It also has a solar panel on top, which is used to power 36 LED lights on the interior of the umbrella, making it great for use any time of day or night. 

The umbrella is made with materials that hold up to wind, rain, sun, and more extreme weather. "Even after being blown over during a tornado this umbrella was still full functioning," wrote one shopper. Some customers did note, however, that the material seemed thin, and the sun shone through, so depending on the color, the material may differ. If the weather gets really bad and you'd rather not test that theory, you can close it up and store it inside until you're ready to use it again. Plus, it can protect you from mild rain, enough that you can still sit outside under it without fear of getting wet. "I love to sit outside and watch the birds," said one review, "and this umbrella allows me to enjoy the outside rain or shine."
