Hosting this Memorial Day? Wayfair has early furniture deals to spruce up your patio

CNN16-05-2025
Memorial Day is nearly here, and we're keeping a close eye on furniture deals. Year after year, Wayfair's Memorial Day event is one of the best, with thousands of deeply discounted home items. Refresh your living room with rugs and armchairs, or deck out your patio with outdoor dining sets primed for hosting Memorial Day plans.
No matter what's on your checklist, Wayfair has Memorial Day deals of up to 70% off small appliances, furniture, decor and more. I, myself, am in the market for a pair of patio chairs and a stylish mirror, so I've been simultaneously scouring the best deals and adding them to my cart.
Hundreds upon hundreds of sales are live, but I've gone through dozens of pages to whittle down the best early Wayfair Memorial Day deals below.
Latitude Run Leen Round Outdoor Dining Set
I've been contemplating whether I should buy this bistro set for some time now, and I feel ready to take the plunge with this tempting 65% discount. That knocks over $200 off its original pricing for the Parisian-inspired patio chairs and table.
Beachcrest Home Shawnna Weather-Resistant Foldable Outdoor Adirondack Chair
No porch is truly complete without an Adirondack chair. For all your cabin adventures, days spent by the lake or nights circled around a bonfire, this reclining seat is more than half off well ahead of Memorial Day weekend plans.
The Twillery Co. Pierpoint 9-Foot Market Umbrella
Bring some shade to your summer barbecues with this 9-foot patio umbrella. It comes with a nifty hand crank for quick, easy setup. It's also available in nine on-sale, fade-resistant canopies.
Gracie Oaks Alegre Bordered Power Loomed Tan Indoor/Outdoor Rug
Pull outdoor spaces together with a neutral rug that touts UV resistance. Starting at $27, choose from sizes of 2 feet by 3 feet for small patios up to 7 feet by 9 feet for large spaces. There are even runners for placement in front of benches or grills.
KingSo Round Steel Wood Burning Smokeless Fire Pit
Grill veggies and roast marshmallows with this fire pit. It dipped below $100 ahead of Memorial Day, so you can get the conversation starter in prep for the long weekend. When temps dip at night, enjoy stargazing by the fireside.
AllModern Rae 84-Inch Upholstered Sofa
One of our favorite Wayfair couches just got a steep discount weeks ahead of Memorial Day. An interior designer we consulted recommends the couch for small or modern spaces. Equally practical as it is stylish, it also comes in three on-sale performance fabrics.
Sand & Stable Carpinteria Media Console
Your TV setup just got that more streamlined with this media console. It keeps the eyesore of corded devices discreetly hidden. With four-door storage, it offers ample room to stash games and serveware, too.
Wade Logan Braedin Upholstered Accent Chair and Storable Ottoman
An accent chair like this one adds a luxe touch to living rooms without having to pay top dollar. Unlike other options out there, this one includes an ottoman so you can kick up your feet and hide it underneath when not in use.
Joss & Main Drossett Glass Top Coffee Table
Don Draper himself would love to have this coffee table in his home. Midcentury lines meet postmodern curves with this coffee table, bringing an upscale touch to living rooms.
Birch Lane Fiama Pedestal End Table
If you need a smaller surface for plants or a place to drop keys and mail, this end table fills the role and looks good doing so. Its wooden style and circular silhouettes remind me of Nancy Meyers' aesthetics.
Re/Fine Sabine Metal Round Wall Mirror
I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to commit to this circular mirror, and it just arrived with Wayfair's early Memorial Day deals. It comes in silver, gold and black hardware with the option to select sizes of 18 inches to 48 inches.
Chris Loves Julia x Loloi Francis Wool Beige and Charcoal Rug
Inspired by parquet flooring, this diamond-patterned rug brings an expensive feel to rooms. That's without the major markup, though, while it's discounted for Wayfair's early Memorial Day sale.
Joss & Main Chemise Ceramic Table Lamp
Complete with a ceramic base, an urn-like shape and a subtle texture, this table lamp embraces minimalistic aesthetics without feeling too sterile. It makes a great accent to side tables or entryway consoles at 34% off.
Wade Logan Baislee Matte Picture Frame, Set of 3
Frames can be surprisingly expensive. So get your gallery wall started with this discounted pack of frames. They already come matted, bringing a streamlined touch to your photographs.
Re/Fine Edgar 100% Cotton Throw Pillow
Soften couches and furniture with a plush throw pillow. Available in over 20 colors, this on-sale pillow comes in several options so you can mix and match according to your preferred design aesthetic. Why not grab multiple while it's over 50% off?
Latitude Run Juanetta Hydraulic Lift-Up Storage Upholstered Platform Bed
My sister upgraded her bed frame setup with this hydraulic option. Now, storing and reaching for her seasonal clothing and luggage is easier than ever. With these Memorial Day deals, it's reasonably priced below $300.
Mercury Row Yarber 6-Drawer Solid Wood Double Dresser
Every major holiday, I spot this bestselling dresser on sale. It has a steep discount once again at over half off. My sister has owned the very same one for years, and it's held up with dozens of clothing pieces packed inside.
Mercury Row Syverson Armoire
A standing armoire will be your best friend if your bedroom lacks closet storage like mine does. This wooden armoire looks expensive, but it costs only $230 during this Wayfair sale. It has a clothing rod to hang long coats and a bottom drawer for spare shoes.
All Modern Indra Nightstand
Clean up your bedside with this nightstand with a drawer. It adopts a mid-century modern wood finish, and its open shelf lets you display coffee table books. Snag it in four on-sale grains, including this dark walnut.
Sealy Cool 12-Inch Medium Memory Foam Mattress With CopperChill Technology
Memorial Day marks one of the best times to buy a new mattress. That's because hot-ticket items see the steepest discounts, especially as retailers make way for new stock. Consider this 53% deal as your sign to replace your old digs.
All Modern Nia Vegan Leather Bar & Counter Stool, Set of 2
Stools don't have to be uncomfortable. This pair is padded with leather so you can sit, dine and chat for longer. It also comes in varying heights for bars and counters, for as little as $130.
George Oliver Agne Round Pedestal Dining Table
You'd never know this stylish circle table costs less than $500 from looking at it. It comes in a refined oak finish as well as a modern black or white color, all of which are discounted during Wayfair's early Memorial Day sale.
Lark Manor Annibelle Kitchen Pantry
Cabinet space is precious in my Brooklyn-based kitchen. That's why I'm eyeing this standing pantry, especially while it's down to just $144. I love that it leaves a shelf open for displaying cookbooks or granting easy access to appliances.
George Oliver Upholstered Solid Wood Dining Chair, Set of 2
Bundling two chairs at just $177, this set elevates your dining experience for much less. It features an upholstered seat propped up by tapered wooden legs, embracing mid-century modern styles.
Rebrilliant Chrome Glass Bar Cart
Display all your martini glasses and impressive liquor supply with this equally stunning bar cart. Its stunning chrome hardware and combination of curved, rounded and rectangular lines will make it a statement piece in your kitchen.
Philips 1000 Series Air Fryer
I've never seen a sleeker-looking air fryer than this Philips one. Its matte black will surely look great on any countertop, and its equally attractive doorbuster deal makes me want to cop one for myself.
Smeg 50's Retro Style 7-Cup Electric Kettle
Obsessed would be an understatement when describing how I feel about this electric kettle. It adopts the retro aesthetic synonymous with the brand. While it'd usually be a major spend, it just dipped below $200.
Bissell Pet Stain Eraser Duo Deluxe
Any pet owner needs a handheld vacuum in their arsenal. Keep this 29%-off pick from Bissell at the ready when messes arise. The cordless design can tackle thin carpets, low-pile rugs and upholstery in a pinch.
De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo Espresso Machine
We love a De'Longhi as much as the next, but we can't ignore its hefty price tag. Luckily, you can kick up your caffeine intake while Wayfair has the espresso machine for nearly half off.
Shark Air Purifier With True HEPA
Allergy season is in full swing, and you can take advantage of early Memorial Day deals to keep sneezing under control. This Shark air purifier is down to $177. With its Clean Sense IQ, it can automatically sense air quality and adjust filtering accordingly. We weren't expecting Memorial Day deals to drop this early at Wayfair — nevertheless, with as much as 70% off. It matches the level of savings we'd expect from the actual holiday weekend. With the turn of the season, you may be wanting to revamp your space for summer. This sale marks no better time since big-ticket items like mattresses, appliances and furniture are discounted. With the early arrival of these deals, you also have time to make a thoughtful buying decision without the mad buying frenzy influencing you.

Colossal Biosciences Founders Launch Secret AI Startup

Astromech's landing page. Astromech In the high-stakes world of biotech and de-extinction, Ben Lamm and George Church are household names. The founders of Colossal Biosciences, Lamm and Church are true pioneers of the industry and the company has done what no other bioscience company has done before. They de-extinct the dire wolf, created the controversial woolly mouse and promise to bring the woolly mammoth back from the grave. However, it was discovered earlier this week that a recent, almost silent, filing with the SEC suggests their next frontier is something far more cryptic. A digital breadcrumb has revealed a new, secretive AI startup operating under the name of Astromech. Unearthed from the dry and opaque world of financial documents, a Form D filing from August 12th, 2025 serves as the first undeniable evidence of the new venture. This single, unassuming document, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, shows that Lamm and Church have already successfully raised a staggering $30 million for the company. The paperwork lists them as co-founders and places the venture squarely in the technology sector, formally registered in the state of Delaware. The filing is a key that unlocks a treasure chest of questions, but provides frustratingly few answers. The de-extinction duo is notoriously public, so their total silence on this new company—a fourth partnership in recent years—is deafening. What exactly is Astromech? The name itself may be a clue, a nod to the iconic repair droids of the Star Wars universe—compact, automated mechanics like the beloved R2-D2. But what is it they are aiming to repair or navigate? A minimal website—a neon-drenched fever dream that feels like the opening sequence from a Nintendo video game—offers the only other hints. The site is a barebones portal for job seekers, featuring a mysterious, animated logo of a swirling helix of DNA. Underneath this cryptic imagery is a single, powerful mission statement: navigating the code of life. Given Church's foundational work in genomics and synthetic biology, this is more than just a tagline; it's a declaration of intent. Astromech could be attempting to chart a new course in the digital mapping of our biological destiny. The job titles listed on the website only deepen the mystery. They aren't for engineers or biologist, but for roles that sound ripped from a sci-fi novel: "Synthetic Data Generation Lead," "Multi-Agent Coordinator," "Regulatory Genomics Specialist," 'Emergent Behavior Analyst" and "Robotics Specialized Physical Trainer." These aren't just jobs; they're clues, each one a piece of a larger, still-unseen puzzle pointing to a deeply complex project in advanced AI. When reached for comment, Lamm and a spokesperson for Colossal had a stark, uncharacteristic "no comment," a phrase that only adds more fuel to the fire. Whatever Lamm and Church are building, they want to keep it in the shadows for now, leaving the rest of the world to wonder: are they building the ultimate co-pilot for biology, or are they laying the groundwork for something bigger?

Cybertruck Owners Sue Over Expensive Upgrade

Once again, Tesla owners are coming for Elon Musk. The much-hyped electric car company is now facing a class-action lawsuit over claims that it did not deliver some Foundation Series Cybertrucks with requested roof-mounted LED off-road light bars, despite promotional promises. It seeks to represent all California buyers of the Foundation Series who were promised the off-road light bar but did not receive one. You can read the entirety of the lawsuit here. The suit was filed by plaintiff Eric Schwartz in California, who says he paid an extra $20,000 for the upgraded light bar but was instead delivered a truck without one. Schwartz's suit says he tried to resolve the issue by getting a new light bar directly from Tesla but sued when those efforts failed. His legal team asserts that Schwartz suffered an 'injury in fact' because he was not given the product for which he had already paid. The lawsuit further alleges that many buyers might not have purchased their Cybertrucks had they known Tesla's advertising about the light bars was misleading, and that Tesla had no intention of delivering that upgrade at all. This is at least the third major lawsuit against Musk that saw major developments this week. On Aug.20, a Texas judge allowed a lawsuit against the bombastic billionaire to go ahead despite Musk's attempts to quash it. In that case, defendants who gave their personal information to a Musk PAC in order to win $1 million prizes claimed it was an illegal lottery. They have now been granted the right to take their case to trial, with the judge saying he found Musk's legal defense shaky and the allegations persuasive enough to proceed. Also earlier this week, U.S. District Judge Rita Lin ordered the automaker to respond to a class-action suit claiming the company misled consumers regarding the autonomous driving capabilities of its products. The lawsuit asserts that Tesla hyped up the feature via Musk's comments and on its social media, but failed to meet those promises of delivering self-driving vehicles.

How AI's Defining Your Brand Story — and How to Take Control

Founders need to own their brand story now more than ever, especially with AI shaping what customers see. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. If you ask a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT or Google Gemini to solve your customers' pain points, it will give you an answer based on the easiest-to-verify information. That often includes published articles, consistent founder commentaries, structured product pages and other third-party references. If those answers do not include your brand, these learning models default to featuring your competitors. That's the practical risk facing every founder today. As more work is automated and teams are expected to deliver more with less, clarity and credibility become the real leverage. Thought leadership is how you make yourself findable and trustworthy in this machine-mediated era. Related: How to Get Your Business Recommended by AI Tools Like ChatGPT — and Win More Clients Founder-led storytelling remains the strongest defense for brand voice and trust Your brand voice is essentially your company's personality. If you don't define it, it will show up differently across every channel. The best way to set it is through your origin story. As the founder, only you can explain in clear and plain language why the company exists, what it stands for and who it's built to serve. Once that story is established, make it the reference for everyone, both internally and externally. Put it in your website's About page, your brand guide, and your sales and support playbooks. Marketing, sales and customer support can then use the same voice and terms. This will create a brand that is more consistent and can easily gain the trust of people wherever they encounter it. Build an algorithm-aware media strategy to boost rankings in Google and AI-driven searches Thought leadership only works when it can be verified, which means you have to make it easy for search engines and LLMs to back up your claims. Start with the questions your buyers actually ask. Most revolve around defining the real problem, comparing options and reducing risk. Answer those questions where authority already exists in your niche. This could be through credible industry outlets, top-tier publications and expert communities. Use bylines and interviews that offer unique insights (not recycled talking points). On your website, turn the same answers into clear explainers with precise terms, clear CTAs and referenceable data. To make your content easy for machines to verify and include you in search results, add a special code to your website that explicitly tells search engines who the founder is, what your company is, what your products are and which articles you wrote. This helps connect all the pieces for LLMs to prove that a real expert with a credible backstory runs your company. Additionally, you can maintain a current press page with original headlines and dates. Treat trusted review sites, relevant directories and active communities as part of your digital footprint. The goal is a clean trail of evidence that points back to you, so when an LLM composes an answer, your materials are the easiest to cite. One thing you must remember is always to keep your language aligned with how buyers search. Use their words. Write headlines that mirror actual searches. If the industry's terminologies change, start incorporating those new terms into your messaging. However, frame these new terms within your unique brand philosophy to avoid sounding generic (like everyone else). This helps you rank in Google and increases the odds that an LLM selects your content. Related: How to Make Sure ChatGPT Recommends Your Products — Not Your Competitor's Lead with authenticity and adopt an adaptive approach to stay ahead of AI changes As AI systems and their search results continue to evolve, the best way to stay ahead is to ground your brand in authenticity. This means making clear and testable claims and consistently relating your services and products to consumers. Such transparency builds credibility with the public while giving LLMs a history of precise, trustworthy updates to learn from. A practical way to get this done is with a monthly review cycle. Each month, see how AI models are describing your brand and your market. If you spot a gap between their summary and your actual status, you can close the gap with a new case write-up or a refreshed product page. You'll also want to monitor changes in search engines like Google. To stay visible, watch how the results page changes and format your content to match what works best, like creating Q&A sections. An internal style guide with official (approved) verbiage and up-to-date stats can also be helpful, as it allows your team to create new content quickly that's consistent in all channels. Related: How to Train AI to Actually Understand Your Business Redefining the founder's role in the AI era These three strategies are not a series of short-term hacks to outsmart AI. These are the foundational works of building a sustainable digital reputation. In an era where generic information is endlessly commoditized by AI, your unique judgment, firsthand experience and specific point of view as a founder are the only true differentiators. I have personally designed (and proven) these strategies to make that authentic human expertise so clear and well-documented that both machines and people can recognize and rely on them. Remember that you are not only trying to avoid being misrepresented by AI; you are actively building a moat of credibility that competitors who rely on vague claims and recycled content cannot cross. This redefines a core part of your job as the founder: to be the only source and chief editor of your brand's voice.
