Whether you spend your summer days (and nights) on a sprawling veranda or tiny terrace, you need a patio furniture set to embrace your alfresco-friendly lifestyle. That's where we come in. Consider this your cheat sheet to finding the most beautiful patio table and chairs and scoring them at great prices. Ahead, we found 13 gorgeous options, 11 of which are on sale. As for the two that aren't, one is under $160.

Don't ask us why some of the best retailers for outdoor furniture decided to discount their best-selling sets mere weeks from the official start of the warmest season, but it's a situation we're definitely not mad about. So if you're looking for an easy way to spruce up your space, you've come to the right place. We've searched high and low for sets that work hard, hold up, and look good, so all you have to do is decide which one you like the most, add it to your cart, and click "purchase."

Here's the thing: Some of these patio furniture sets require a little bit of assembly (no power tools necessary), so if you're down to build your furniture yourself, prepare to embrace your new set that much more. Otherwise, opt for white-glove delivery, and enjoy your ready-to-sit patio furniture. All of the sets below come with seating, a few come with tables, and most of them come with cushions, so get ready to start your summer in style.

Frontgate's Graham set is on super sale right now. It's more than $2,500 off! It includes two lounge chairs and a loveseat, all of which are available in three colors and are handwoven using all-weather wicker on a corrosion-resistant powder-coated aluminum frame. Durability aside, these seats feature cushions filled with a high-resiliency foam core wrapped in plush polyester. Once you sit down, you won't want to get back up.

Another sleek set that includes two lounge chairs and a loveseat, Castlery's Maui collection is inspired by the Hawaiian city after which it's named. Though the seating may look a bit delicate, it can hold up against any weather, courtesy of the lacquer-finished acacia wood legs and aluminum frame adorned with polypropylene rope. As for the cushions, they're made of polyurethane foam and are stuffed inside removable covers. If you want to go the extra mile, opt for the four-piece set, which includes an acacia wood coffee table.

This Amazon find may not be on sale like most of the other patio furniture sets on our list, but it's well under $200, which is reason enough to include it. The small-scale set comes with two lounge chairs, a loveseat, and a coffee table with a tempered glass top. They're all built of weatherproof plastic rattan cane, so feel free to leave them out in the rain; they won't get ruined. That said, you may want to store the cushions before they get soaked.

This unique Homary patio furniture set is so affordable because the brand is having a massive flash sale for one day only, so if you're in need of a cool collection for your outdoor space, you've come to the right place. At first glance, it may look like your standard sectional sofa, but it inclines (not where you'd expect it to, though). The end cushions tilt upward so that you can lounge on this sectional like a pool lounge chair. The matching coffee table is a much-welcomed bonus.

This is the kind of set you'd get for a small outdoor space you don't want to leave empty. It comes with lounge chairs, a loveseat, and a coffee table, but they're all small enough that they can squeeze onto any patio or terrace. Just look at the photo! The cushions are plush and weatherproof, so there's no need to invest in a set of outdoor furniture covers, but we would suggest dressing the pieces up with throw pillows and maybe a succulent for the table.

This set may be on the expensive side, but think about what you'll be getting: four (yes, four) armchairs and a coffee table. The best part? They arrive fully assembled. It also comes in another color (it's darker), so feel free to customize your space and set the mood with this weatherproof set. One reviewer says, "Exactly what we wanted. Seems to be well made. Cushions are very comfortable and thick." Well, you heard it here first!

Available in two other colors—pale gray and robin's egg blue—this Latitude Run find, which is nearly 70 percent off right now, is another small-space-friendly set we're obsessed with. There's also a hole in the middle of the table for a patio umbrella, so if you want enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner outdoors, you can do so without getting sunburned.

We love a chair-loveseat set that comes with a matching table, and this affordable Walmart pick is easily one of our favorites. The hero of the set is the part you can't see: the steel frame, which gives every piece—especially the seating—durability. The whole set is wrapped in weatherproof wicker rattan, giving it that classic outdoor feel. The coffee table is our favorite element of this set because it's topped with tempered glass, which is heat-treated to prevent shattering and safer for poolside lounging.

This is a luxurious set for a few reasons, but the most notable is the included furniture covers that attach to the back of the cushions. Second, it's modular, comprised of two corner chairs and two armless chairs that you can configure however best suits your space. The frame is made of sustainably grown and harvested teak wood, and the hand-sewn, multi-layer memory foam cushions come in four colors, including this misty gray.

This three-piece set includes a sofa, lounge chair, and coffee table. It's minimalist in all the right ways (whether you get it with or without arms) and comes in two colors: salt and shale (pictured). Both options are feature a galvanized, powder-coated steel frame and quick-drying foam cushions. It's weatherproof, but if you want to store it inside during the colder months, you can take the whole thing apart (it's modular!) and tuck it in a garage, basement, or large closet.

We're back with another great chairs-loveseat-coffee-table set. We just can't get enough. These kinds of sets are so popular because they're convenient and easy to employ on any outdoor space—no matter the size. This one, which comes in three finishes, is affordable but super durable thanks to its solid acacia wood frame.

No matter which of the five cushion colors you snag, you'll love the hue against the FSC-certified eucalyptus wood frame of this set. Materiality aside, this seating is comfortable, courtesy of slightly slanted seat backs that basically force you to relax as soon as you sit down. If the seats get a little dirty, just unzip the covers and toss them in the laundry.

Our second bistro set features a totally different look than the one we included earlier. This one is a bit softer on the eyes because it's made of traditional rattan. It's also eco-friendly! The cushions are covered in a fade-resistant, solution-dyed polyester that consists of 50 percent recycled material.

When shopping for patio furniture sets, there are a few things to consider before making your purchase. Below, we explain the three key factors for convenience, comfort, and durability.

Pieces Included: When we say "pieces included," we mean how many furniture pieces you get as part of the set. Most include four: two chairs, a loveseat or bench, and a coffee table. Even if some are small-space friendly, four pieces of adult-size furniture is a big commitment, spatially speaking. Just imagine unpacking it, arranging it in your space, and realizing it doesn't fit. Now you have to pack it all back up in the original packaging and figure out how to return it. Don't go through all that if you don't have to. Instead, measure your space and consider the dimensions of each piece. Will it fit in your space? Remember to leave space for people to walk around and in between all the pieces of furniture comfortably.

Material: Any furniture designed to work outside will have weatherproof elements, but pay special attention to which parts can brave water, wind, and anything else thrown its way. Oftentimes, the frame can handle weather but the cushions can't. So if your outdoor furniture falls into the latter category, either arrange it under a covered part of your space or opt for furniture covers. If you have kids or want to invest in a piece that will last a long time, you may want to be sure the cushion covers are removable and washable. Sustainably grown wood options may be more eco-friendly than plastic.

Outdoor furniture that lasts the longest is usually made of wood or galvanized metal (bonus points if it's powder-coated) and performance fabrics. Before you buy a piece of outdoor furniture, make sure it can hold up against the elements, especially if you live near the coast. Otherwise, it will start to corrode or rust after just a few storms or a single season. Furniture made specifically for outdoor use can last for up to 10 years.

When it comes to outdoor furniture sets, we searched high and low for the best of the best. We considered everything from the style to the price to give everyone something special for their patio.
