The best designer dupe outdoor patio furniture we’ve ever seen

Summer days are slowly fading, and we’re officially transitioning into fall. That means soaking up the last bits of golden sunshine while also starting to think about cozy evenings outdoors — fire pits, warm drinks, and twinkly lights.

If your outdoor space could use a little refresh, now is the perfect time to add a few new pieces. You’ll get to enjoy them during these last summer nights and all throughout fall as the temps cool down. So, we’ve done some research and – LETUSTELLYOU – we've found the BEST lookalikes for designer-inspired outdoor patio furniture, EVERRRR, and you'll be shocked to see where we found them. Let us show you just how good this stuff is, and HOW MUCH you'll save going this route!

Started with two chairs…

A few years ago, Corrine took one look at her bare backyard and figured it was time to invest in some new outdoor patio furniture. She had one piece of old furniture that she'd had for nearly seven years, so our backyard space was long overdue for a refresh!

Of course, the place with the cutest outdoor patio furniture she wanted was also INSANELY expensive. So she decided she'd start and just buy these two high-end chairs that, even on sale were $1,423 EACH. Full retail at $1,898 each!

After that purchase, she planned to invest little by little each year to eventually have all the furniture she wanted in the backyard. Well, then she started looking around for more furniture and just about dropped dead when she found almost the exact same style for PENNIES compared to the designer brand! And right now, you can get the black color for only $224 (reg. $279)!!

Designer-inspired outdoor patio furniture set

We found this 4-piece set that's nearly HALF the price Corrine paid for only ONE of the designer chairs. Seriously, it's insane how similar these pieces of furniture look! While this exact set is currently OOS, there are still some amazing deals you can get right now.

If you have a smaller space or don't need a full 4-piece set, you can get this set of 2 lounge chairs (in black) on sale right now for $55 OFF, and just $224! That means one chair is only $112, which is $1,311 LESS than their designer lookalike. 92% OFF the same designer look is absolutely insane!!!

The exact love seat included on the set is also on sale right now for only $147 (reg. $187)!

Since the prices were so affordable, she added a few more cute pieces to her backyard that complemented this boho chic style.

Dreamy egg chairs

Okay, THESE egg chairs! Corrine had been wanting to get two egg chairs for the backyard, but figured she wouldn’t be able to get around to buying some for a while, since the two she was considering last year retailed for $550-800, and they both sold out well before summer started. So, of course she was ECSTATIC when she found these more affordable, but just as beautiful, egg chairs!

Sit in the sun, read a book, take a nap – these chairs make being outside so fun and comfy. They're so stylish and seriously look SO much like designer pieces, but for an amazing price! They match the other furniture so well, too.

The exact style and color is currently OOS but you can get it in cream, black or brown colors for 34% OFF and only $197 today!

Outdoor loveseat + ottoman

She's BEYOND excited to spend summer nights outside lying on this loveseat with an ottoman, perfect for lying back and relaxing. Perfect place to lay out under these cute cafe lights that Neil strung in the backyard.

Corrine has already enjoyed some sunny afternoons sprawled out on this loveseat and ottoman, and she's looking forward to many more to come!

Gathering around the fireplace, roasting s’mores, and chatting with family and friends on summer nights will be so so magical in this outdoor space!

But why is outdoor patio furniture so expensive in the first place?

Well, as with most things, you get what you pay for. We know that the expensive chairs Corrine bought will last her many many years – it’s just inevitable that the higher quality, the more expensive it'll be.

Often when you find something extremely affordable, the reviews will tell you why and discourage you from jumping on the deal. But with this particular set of affordable outdoor patio furniture, the reviews were SUPER high!

What's the quality like?

So far, the Walmart furniture feels JUST like the designer furniture when you sit and lay and lounge on it! It's hard to say for sure how many seasons it will last with 100% certainty, but like we said, the reviewers all raved about how much they're loving their set!

One said, “This is a beautiful patio set. The cushions are well-made. It’s high-end style without the price. Gorgeous!” And we second that!

Will the outdoor patio furniture rust?

Aluminum outdoor furniture can rust. HOWEVER, these pieces are made with stainless-steel frames that have been powder-coated for rust resistance. (AKA, keep these outdoor pieces looking fresh from year to year!)

How long does outdoor patio furniture last?

This furniture arrived in perfect condition and we are guessing it will last at least 5 years!

The loveseat and ottoman are made with fade-resistant and stain-repellent fabric, so no worrying about the rain or other elements ruining the cushions. The pieces are large and sturdy and are meant to hold up for many years of use! We have a ton of faith in this outdoor patio furniture.

Some finishing touches

We couldn’t be MORE excited about these pieces of outdoor patio furniture! They all look so good together in Corrine's backyard and we can’t wait to see what you think of them. AND you can even add some cute finishing touches to your yard like this woven hanging light or these cafe lights! Don’t miss out on these amazing dupe finds and decorate your outdoor spaces today.
