Promising review: “My new 15-foot umbrella has made my outdoor living space complete! The solar lights make evening entertaining special. It completely covers my outdoor furniture and provides not only good shade but also protection from the rain. This was a great purchase!” —Sandra

Price: $165.99+ (available in 12 colors)

Promising review: "I can't believe I didn't look for this earlier! Everyone now loves to be outside in the hammock to read, sleep, or just rest. Best investment ever! Easy to put together. Have not put it away, so I don't know how that would be. I ended up using a pillow to make it more comfy. Have had it for about a month." —Veneca26

Price: $123.49+ (available in 13 colors)

Promising review: "It is beautiful. Smaller than I thought it would be, but perfect for a plant with a plate underneath! Or a table fan if you're sitting outside in the summertime! Really impressed with the sturdiness of it and the ease of putting it together." —Sharon

Price: $32.99+ (originally $39.99+; available in four colors)

Promising review: "The best mini BT speaker I've ever had and have owned several different brands.Excellent build and sound quality." —Randy

Promising review: “Very nice sturdy lounges with thick cushions that keep their shape after seating. My husband put it together without my help. We got two of these, and they look very nice next to each other. Love the trays underneath as they come so in handy, eliminating the need for other little tables. We have them under patio shade, and we live in California, so I'm not sure how they would do in full sun. We have them covered in nice pocket beach towels, though! We would definitely recommend these lounges!” —Sandina

Price: $285.14+ (available in 14 colors)

Make sure you grab a screen for your backyard while you're at it!

Promising review: "I absolutely love it. TV who? 😂 The sound, the quality, the picture, all of it is perfect. Highly recommend. About to buy all my family members one, plus it already had Netflix and YouTube, so all you really need is Wi-Fi/Hotspot, and you're good." —Rosa

Price: $39.99+ (originally $49.99+; available in five styles)

This set seats up to five people and includes one outdoor sofa with a cover, two swivel lounge chairs with covers, and a fire table.

This set includes one loveseat, two chairs, and a table!

Promising review: "This set caught my eye in a Walmart store. I sat on both the chairs and the loveseat and found them comfortable. Ordered the set in blue and love it! The size is the perfect scale for our deck, and lets us extend the living space outside. The assembly took about two hours instead of the 45 minutes estimated by the manufacturer. Definitely recommend this patio set." —Catherine

Price: $497 (originally $597; available in three colors)

Promising review: “I’ve put together quite a few pools, and this is the easiest one so far. Everything snaps together well and disassembles easily. Struggled with draining at the end of the season, but that was likely user error; I lost the instructions. Survived the summer with my kids, no issues.” —Erica

Promising review: “This has become my favorite piece of outdoor furniture. The canopy can be adjusted to keep me protected from the sun. It's comfortable and sturdy enough for my mother to sit on it and get up from it without assistance. I might get a second since I like to sit with my legs up so that others can enjoy it too.” —Angela

Price: $145.99 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "For the price of this set, you can't beat it. I love the red! It's super quick and easy to put together. Umbrella is a bit hard to open sometimes, but that is literally my only complaint. It's a simple but very comfortable set. If you're looking for something that looks good without spending a ton of money, BUY THIS!" —Sierra

Price: $117 (originally $136; available in four colors)

Promising review: "These are perfect for my patio! So cute, the right size, they hang perfectly, and I love that they are actually plastic, as we get a lot of wind where we are. I've had them for almost two years now and only have two bulbs that have gone out, so I'm ordering a strand just for bulbs." —MrsRuiz2007

Promising review: "So cute! The PERFECT lamp for my Mahjong table! These are very sturdy and beautiful. Highly recommend!" —mary

Price: $21.94 (available in four colors)

Promising review: "This patio umbrella is great quality and extremely durable. It has been the best purchase of the summer for sure. We set it up with a patio set also purchased at Walmart, and it looks amazing. Great for shade from the summer heat or coverage when you want to have dinner outside. Love the design and details and would 100% recommend." —Mandy

They got a full rainstorm by accident and only took a couple of hours to dry completely. Love them on my deck conversation set." —LittleOldLady
