Even the best weatherproof outdoor furniture isn’t exempt from the elements, so it’s understandable if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on items that you know will show some wear and tear. The best place for outdoor starter sets? IKEA, of course. Whether you’re in the market for a table and chairs or plant holders and chic watering pots, the Swedish retailer has a huge selection of outdoor furniture and decor. These items are a good starting point, especially if your patch of nature is confined to a tiny city balcony.
