Ah, the great outdoors. There is arguably nothing better than enjoying the company of family, friends, and a little bit of sunshine—that is if it’s nice enough out. If you’re lucky enough to live in a climate that warrants an abundance of dining al fresco, outdoor lounging, and backyard entertaining, you’re lucky. For all us seasonal-dwellers, the coming of spring and summer means pulling out that patio or deck furniture for their few months of much-loved use.

But whether you spend the year outdoors or simply savor it for a few months, the decor is overlooked. Instead of using the same tired, plastic lounge chairs or dated glass side tables, why not upgrade to some trendier, higher-quality pieces that will withstand the test of time? We’ve rounded up a few our favorite all-weather furniture items that are fresh-air approved. So you can get to bask in the lovely weather—no matter how long it lasts.
