How to Spot Quality Outdoor Furniture

Here’s what to look for when shopping for outdoor furniture made to weather any climate. Hint: It’s all about the quality of the materials and craftsmanship.

Solid Construction for Total Comfort

Materials can make all the difference in how outdoor furniture performs and lasts. The added heft of quality materials also keeps outdoor furniture in place in the wind.

  • Look for high-quality lounge frames, precision engineered in marine-grade plywood that resists moisture to prevent warping and cracking over time.

  • Our cushions are made with CertiPUR-US® certified foam specially designed to drain and dry quickly, even after getting soaked in a downpour.

  • Little details, like waterproof glues and rust-resistant fasteners, make a big difference in a piece’s comfort, durability and longevity as well.

Designed for Outdoor Living

  • The newest outdoor performance fabrics are high-tech marvels, holding up to sun and moisture.
  • In addition to considering fade and mildew resistance, look for upholstery that is easy to clean and maintain. Tight, flat weaves are easiest to clean, but texture and color can help hide outdoor dirt.
  • Our outdoor performance fabrics are diluted bleach-cleanable and inherently stain- and moisture-resistant. Order swatches to touch and test out fabrics.

Truly Enduring Beauty

  • Our outdoor pieces have modern, timeless lines so they work with other elements you already love or may add as accents in the future.
  • Choosing durable furniture with a long lifespan doesn’t just make your life easier and better — it also helps keep materials out of the waste stream.
