Why Trust Forbes Vetted The Forbes Vetted home team has spent countless hours researching and writing home shopping guides, including our best patio furniture guide and tested stories, like the best outdoor sofas and the best patio umbrellas. We regularly reference each guide to find the best patio furniture deals available right now. Assistant deals editor Jordan Thomas has been writing about deals and online consumer shopping since 2019.

Deals editor Maya Gandara has been covering the e-commerce space for over six years, hunting down the best product deals retailers have to offer across beauty, fashion, home and tech. When Can You Get The Best Deals On Patio Furniture? You're likely to find the best patio furniture deals towards the end of summer. As retailers prep for fall and winter, they typically discount spring and summer inventory to make room for incoming cold-weather essentials. That said, you can also find some great offers in early spring—like March and April—as retailers start to stir up interest for the warm weather ahead. What Is The First Thing You Should Consider When Selecting Patio Furniture? The first factor you should consider when selecting patio furniture is climate. You want outdoor furniture that's made with long-lasting materials best suited for the weather in your area. For instance, aluminum furniture is lightweight but durable; it will last longer in a rainy or humid environment compared to materials like iron, which will rust when exposed to constant moisture. What Type Of Patio Furniture Lasts The Longest? Depending on your aesthetic and climate, patio furniture made of aluminum, teak or synthetic materials—like poly lumber and HDPE (high-density polyethylene) plastic—last the longest. All of the above materials are extremely durable and resistant against deteriorating factors like pests, rust and rot.

Zillow revenue up 15% to $655M as mortgage and rentals business drive growth
(Zillow Image) Zillow beat estimates for its second quarter with $655 million in revenue, up 15% year-over-year. GAAP net income was $2 million, up from a $17 million loss in the year-ago period. Shares were down as much as 6% in after-hours trading but later recovered. The company's mortgage business (up 41% to $48 million) and rentals unit (up 36% to $159 million) helped drive growth in the quarter. Zillow's core 'Residential' business grew 6% to $434 million. Traffic to Zillow's mobile apps and websites was up 5% to 243 million average monthly unique users. The total revenue growth beat internal expectations and outpaced the broader housing and mortgage market 'that remained essentially flat,' CEO Jeremy Wacksman wrote in a letter to shareholders. The Seattle-based company now expects mid-teens revenue growth for 2025, at the higher end of its previous full-year outlook. Zillow's stock is up more than 15% in the past month. In addition to a stagnant U.S. housing market, Zillow is in legal battles with two other industry titans: CoStar (over copyright infringement) and Compass (over listings).

JKS Restaurants, Famed London Hospitality Group, Expands Stateside
Some of London's most acclaimed Indian food is making its way across the pond. JKS Restaurants announced on Wednesday, August 6 that the group will expand overseas with new outposts of two beloved Britain-born Indian concepts in New York and Las Vegas. This fall, The Ambassadors Clubhouse will open at the new A24 headquarters near Madison Square Park in New York City. Later this year, Gymkhana is set to open at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas Founded in 2008 by siblings Jyotin, Karam, and Sunaina Sethi, JKS operates 35 restaurants internationally — including Gymkhana, Ambassadors Clubhouse, Trishna, Brigadiers, Sabor, Kitchen Table, BiBi, Berenjak, Hoppers and Speedboat Bar. These projects will be their first in North America. 'We have had our sights set on the U.S. for the last ten years, wanting to make our entry with the right brands, in the right cities, at the right moment. Ambassadors Clubhouse and Gymkhana are expressions of who we are and we are excited to connect with a new community of guests," said Karam Sethi comments. "We join the market at a time when the interest in Indian cuisine and culture is growing rapidly, and we look forward to contributing to this momentum by raising greater awareness of regional Indian cuisine.' Once both restaurants are up and running, JKS also plans to launch Gymkhana Fine Foods, a premium range of at-home Indian cooking sauces and marinades, in the U.S. Here's what to expect from JKS' duo of new restaurants opening on each coast: Ambassadors Clubhouse New York Named in honor of the Sethi sibling's grandfather, a former Indian Ambassador, the interiors at Ambassadors Clubhouse will be inspired by his summer house in Dalhousie and the abandoned party mansions of Northern India. Details including carpet patterns, ceiling features, marquetry and inlay details will pay homage to the Ambassador's seasonal residence, aslong with original artwork from Punjabi artists. Punjabi music will play in the dining room for a lively atmosphere while guests enjoy the splendor of a bygone era in Punjab's opulent royal kitchens. To drink, the cocktail program will focus on tequila and mezcal blended with regional ingredients; large-format cocktails designed for tables to share, playful shots, and interactive service. The original Ambassadors Clubhouse opened in Mayfair, London in 2024 at 25 Heddon St. New York's Ambassadors Clubhouse is slated for fall 2025 at 1245 Broadway in Manhattan. Gymkhana Las Vegas This winter, Gymkhana will open at ARIA Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Currently the only classic Indian restaurant worldwide to hold two Michelin stars, Gymkhana is known of London's most sought-after dining destinations, by culinary enthusiasts and celebrities including the likes of Dua Lipa and David Beckham. Inspired by private clubs in India, Gymkhana Las Vegas plans to offer another level of exclusivity to the Strip. The Las Vegas menu will feature many of Gymkhana London's signature Indian dishes, broadly focusing on tandoori-grilled specialties, classic curries, fragrant biryanis and chaat-style sharing plates. New dishes exclusive to the Las Vegas location will also be offered. The bar will feature Indian-inspired cocktails, including regional punches served tableside, and an extensive gin and tonic selection. "The culinary landscape of Las Vegas is constantly evolving and with that, MGM Resorts is primed to change and adapt through a forward-thinking lens," said MGM Resorts Chief Content, Hospitality and Development Officer Ari Kastrati. 'We have witnessed Indian cuisine continue to grow in popularity in the United States and as hospitality leaders, along with the JKS family, felt now is the right time to bring Gymkhana to ARIA. We have incredible respect for the brand's culinary excellence and feel the restaurant will perfectly collide with the fun lifestyle experience the Las Vegas guest knows and loves.'
