Best Patio Furniture by Material

Choosing the best outdoor furniture material starts with durability, especially when it comes to withstanding the elements. Striking the balance between comfort, aesthetic and longevity is the secret to curating the best outdoor patio furniture collection. Here are the top outdoor furniture choices by material:

Best Teak Outdoor Furniture

Teak patio sets are among the best outdoor furniture options because of their ability to withstand the elements. Teak is naturally resistant to insects and decay, making the lifespan of your pieces much longer. Additionally, teak wood has a high oil content so it holds up well to water exposure. This protects against warping and cracking. Finally, because teak is a hardwood, outdoor patio furniture made from this species is very strong. To preserve the natural hue of your teak, apply a teak sealant once a year. Shop outdoor teak furniture now.

Best Rattan and Wicker Outdoor Furniture

Rattan outdoor furniture is coveted by many for its desirable aesthetic that can read vintage, modern or classic. But rattan has more benefits than just its look. Rattan outdoor furniture is hardy and good for the environment because it comes from a fibrous vine that is woven together. Contrary to popular belief, rattan and wicker are not the same; rattan is a material, whereas wicker is the pattern rattan furniture is typically woven into. Because it's made of a natural material, it holds up to the sun's UV rays and extreme hot and cold temperatures making it some of the best deck furniture. The best rattan furniture for the outdoors is daybeds, lounge chairs and pool chairs. Rattan accent and coffee tables also add an unexpected flair to your patio set. Looking for the best wicker patio furniture? CB2 shoppers love the Sillon En Mimbre Wicker Lounge Chair and the Rizo Dining Armchair.

Best Upholstered Outdoor Furniture

Shopping for upholstered outdoor furniture? Sunbrella fabric is the leader in outdoor upholstery due to its fade resistance, mildew resistance and easy maintenance. Other outdoor fabrics that perform well are polyester, polypropylene and marine vinyl. Add a pair of outdoor upholstered chairs to your balcony to enjoy the view on summer evenings, or accommodate a crowd for happy hour on your patio with an outdoor upholstered sectional.

Best Metal Outdoor Furniture

There are a variety of metals used to make top-rated outdoor furniture. Each has its pros and cons. The most popular metal outdoor furniture is made from aluminum, iron or stainless steel. Aluminum patio furniture is resistant to corrosion and rust, making it a great option for longevity. It is also lightweight, so if you like to change up your furniture arrangement, it's easy to move around. However, be cautious of its lighter weight in windy conditions. Wrought iron on the other hand is very heavy. While that makes it less likely to be moved by wind, it can be an inconvenience to rearrange. Additionally, iron patio furniture requires slightly more maintenance than aluminum because it's susceptible to rust and corrosion. To prevent water damage, coat your iron patio furniture with a wax spray twice a year. Stainless steel patio furniture, meanwhile, is both heavy and durable. Like iron patio furniture, stainless steel can rust when exposed to moisture; however, the composition of your stainless steel plays a big factor in its corrosion resistance. When shopping for stainless steel patio furniture, look for pieces with higher chromium content.
