Outdoor Furniture: Built for Real Backyards, Real Weather, and Real Gatherings
Your outdoor space deserves the same thought you put into the rooms inside your home. Whether you're gathering around a fire pit on a cool evening, hosting a backyard dinner, or just relaxing with a good book, Furniture Fair carries complete outdoor collections designed to handle real weather while still looking great season after season.
"A lot of customers don't think about maintenance until their furniture already looks worn. The truth is a few simple habits, like bringing cushions in and securing furniture before storms, can add years to how long a set actually lasts outside."
Doug Miller, Furniture Fair Expert, over 30 years of experience
Complete Sets vs. Building Your Own
One of the easiest ways to furnish an outdoor space is with a complete set. Our collection includes dining sets, fire pit conversation sets, and even a full sectional set, giving you coordinated seating and tables in one purchase rather than mixing pieces yourself. If you prefer more flexibility, we also carry individual chairs, tables, and accessories so you can build a custom layout piece by piece. For more ideas, read our guide on how to decorate your outdoor patio space this summer.

For Entertaining and Dining Outdoors
Our dining sets and bar height collections (including Newport) give you a coordinated table and seating setup ready for backyard dinners or drinks with friends.
For Relaxing and Lounging
Conversation sets and papasan style seating (like our Huntington collection) create a comfortable, low-key gathering spot.
For a Cozy Evening Feel
Our fire pit conversation set brings warmth and ambiance to cool nights without needing a separate built-in fire feature.
For a Distinctive, Trend-Forward Look
Our rope and basket weave chairs stand out from traditional patio furniture and make a strong visual statement on their own.
Motion and Comfort Features
If comfort matters as much as looks, look for our swivel, rocker, and glider options. Several collections, including Montego, Sadie, and Huntington's papasan seating, offer motion features that make it easier to relax or reposition without leaving your seat.
Keeping Your Outdoor Furniture Looking Great
Outdoor furniture faces a tougher environment than anything indoors: sun, rain, wind, and temperature swings all take a toll over time. Our furniture specialist walks through simple, practical steps to help your investment last as long as possible, covering cleaning, sun protection, and how to secure your furniture before a storm.

Decide between a complete set or building your own layout. Sets offer convenience and a coordinated look, while individual pieces give you more control over exact configuration and seating count.
Think about how you'll actually use the space. Dining sets suit regular outdoor meals, conversation sets suit lounging and entertaining, and a fire pit set adds a gathering point for cooler evenings.
Consider motion features if comfort is a priority. Swivel and glider seating add comfort for extended time outdoors, especially in conversation and lounge sets.
Plan for maintenance from the start. Cushions and cushioned furniture last longer with basic care. Watch our video above for simple steps that can meaningfully extend the life of your furniture.
Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Furniture
With regular care, outdoor furniture can last about five years. Without protection or maintenance, you may only get about two summers out of it before fading, wicker deterioration, fabric breakdown, and pest damage set in.
Yes. Removing cushions when they're not in use helps prevent fading from sun exposure and reduces the chance of moisture damage.
Secure or store loose pieces like umbrellas and chairs. Tying down umbrellas, stacking chairs, and moving furniture closer to the house can prevent wind damage.
Conversation sets are built for lounging and casual seating, typically around a coffee table, while dining sets include a table sized for meals along with matching chairs.
Storing furniture in a garage or covered area during major weather events helps protect it from prolonged exposure to rain, snow, and temperature extremes. For detailed steps, read our guide on protecting outdoor furniture during the winter.
