Amazon's Massive Outdoor Furniture Sale Has Deals Up to 50% Off—Here, 15 Backyard Upgrades for Summer

Pour yourself a glass of rosé, open the windows, and take a book outside. It's patio season, and whether you're one to enjoy your outdoor oasis in solitude or have the entire neighborhood over for a big barbecue, you'll want the space to be as pristine as possible when the sun comes out. Thankfully, Amazon's Memorial Day sale has a bounty of patio furniture on sale at amazing prices. If you're looking for a comfy three-seater sofa to stretch out on, some chaise lounges to prop next to the pool (lucky you!), or a full dining set—umbrella included—you'll have no shortage of options during this Amazon sale for the long weekend. And, in addition to outdoor furniture, we found markdowns on other backyard essentials like fire pits and outdoor projectors to make the most of the season. Once you buy, all that's left to do is start picking out the movies you want to watch under the stars this summer. Reviewers say this three-seater outdoor couch is comfortable, easy to put together, and a great value for under $250. It's made of weather-proof synthetic wicker and includes spongy, four-inch-thick cushions wrapped in water-resistant polyester. People say they've had this outdoor sofa for three years or more—and the sets are still going strong. The removable cushion covers can washed or replaced if they get too worn over time. The alfresco couch, on sale for $30 off right now, measures 29.5 inches deep, 79 inches wide, and about 29 inches tall and will 'maximum relaxation' according to one happy shopper. Nearly 800 people have awarded this outdoor set five stars, so don't be surprised if you end up spending the entire summer relaxing on the comfy cushions. In addition to the three-seat sofa, the set comes with a glass-top outdoor coffee table and an ottoman. All the bases are made of synthetic rattan wicker, and the cushions have three-inch-thick foam for comfort. "Super comfortable and stylish," according to one reviewer, this set has a lot to offer for less than $300! If you've ever shopped for Adirondack chairs, you might have experienced some sticker shock. The ones made of real wood can cost $500 to $800 per chair , and without proper maintenance, they can rot. So, some folks opt for faux wood alternatives like this now-$90 Amazon version, which reviewers say looks exactly like the real deal, just painted. Pick from 18 different colors to decorate your front porch or stage around your backyard fire ring. There are also deals on sets of two, four, six, and eight. For an elegant patio with a bohemian vibe, how about this synthetic rattan sectional with rounded edges and an included statement table? You can separate the L-shaped sofa into a two-person loveseat and chaise, or connect the two to fit up to three people. This outdoor sofa set doesn't seem as boxy as other options—and it's definitely more lightweight without a thick base—but steel reinforcements ensure it's plenty durable. One reviewer said, '[It] transformed our back deck and made this the summer of the outdoor couch. I'm not sure I've ever loved a piece of furniture more!' Grab it for $266 when you use the on-site coupon. Add a shady spot to your sunny patio space with this nine-foot umbrella that comes with a base that can be filled with up to 50 pounds of sand or water. A base that heavy-duty can alone cost you up to $100, but you'll pay $70 for the whole two-piece set during Amazon's Memorial Day sale. The set comes in a range of colors to suit your outdoor setup. An outdoor table will make you want to have dinner in the fresh air all summer. Here's one that won't cost you a fortune: a six-piece set with a small glass table, four folding chairs, and a matching umbrella, all for $169 on sale. With over 3,200 five-star ratings, this set is obviously a popular pick, with one person who has put it 'through countless winter storms and New England weather' saying that 'there isn't one crack in the glass,' despite being 'flung around' their yard. This Memorial Day, you can save $50 on this dining set with cute wicker accents. The square table measures 40.5 inches on all four sides and has a hole in the center for an umbrella (which isn't included). The table is made of real wood, and the chairs have sturdy metal frames with comfy seat cushions. The set has been reviewed only once so far, but that reviewer gave it five stars: 'It was very easy to assemble, with clear instructions and all the parts well-labeled. Once set up, we were really impressed by how comfortable the chairs are—the cushions are soft yet supportive, perfect for long chats outside.' It doesn't get cuter than this little bistro set. It's a perfect fit for the smallest of outdoor spaces, whether it be your tiny city balcony or a narrow opening in your garden. The two-person table and chairs are made of cast aluminum, painted with rust- and corrosion-proof powder coating, and molded into whimsical, floral-inspired shapes that evoke a vintage feel. It's a little more modern than what you'd find thrifting, though—you can even adjust the footpads to make it level on an uneven floor. For the holiday, save on this circular picnic table with three built-in benches. About 500 shoppers have given it five stars for quality, comfort, ease of assembly, and appearance. 'It looks stunning,' one said, adding that it's 'natural, and not cheap at all.' According to the specs, this picnic table set is made of real wood—which, for under $200, is a major bargain. It comes to you with a pretty blonde finish, and you can either leave the natural look of the wood grain or paint it to match your color palette. Whether you have a pool to lounge next to or you're into sunbathing on the deck, these chaises are convenient to have. They're made of poly lumber (aka polystyrene made to look like wood), which makes them stand up better in wet conditions or dry, sunny weather. The backrest reclines to five different angles, and, set all the way back, the chaise can accommodate the full body of someone who's up to six feet, four inches tall. You can buy just one, but the two-piece set is a better deal at $155 each seat. This is the No. 1 best seller in patio bar tables, but it's so much more than a boring old bar. You can use it as a plain outdoor end table, or you can get the party started by popping up the bar top and filling the base with ice and provisions. Now you have a cooler and a hip-high place to set your beverage. According to the brand, the cooler can hold up to 40 cans and keep them chilled for up to 12 hours. That's a pretty cool party trick if you ask us. Another cool contraption to elevate your outdoor space is this 36-inch iron table that turns into a fire ring and cooker. The 24-inch metal center plate lifts off to expose the pit, which can hold 15 pounds of wood. With the kit, you also get a fire poker and two grates where you can cook anything from hot dogs to kebabs to corn on the cob over the fire. The grates are each height-adjustable and swivel 360 degrees for controlled cooking. At 33 percent off, this multipurpose piece of furniture is only $60. String lights instantly set a relaxing vibe when you're outside after dark. These vintage-esque Edison-style bulbs are especially attractive, not to mention weather-resistant and shatter-proof. More than 7,500 people gave them a five-star rating for looks, durability, functionality, and value. One person said they strung theirs up 'MacGyver'-style and left them on for two years straight through snow and rain without a single bulb ever going out. They actually called them the best purchase of their 'entire life,' adding that they'd trust the lights at their own wedding. This is not your average grill. It's an XXL charcoal grill with tons of cooking space over porcelain-enameled grates, plus a large chrome-plated warming rack and 184-square-inch smoker attached to it. It's perhaps not the best cooker for a seasoned smoker, but reviewers say it's perfect for dipping a toe into the culinary sub-hobby that is smoking. The grill holds over four pounds of coal, and the racks can be adjusted so your food is closer or further from the charcoal. It has a 4.4-star average out of 520 ratings and is on sale right now for $137. You can score 53 percent off a best-selling outdoor projector for future movie nights and the kids' backyard camping sessions. This 9,000-lumen version by Bigasuo offers an HD picture and a built-in DVD player, which is handy if you don't want to bother hooking it up to a streaming player or your Wi-Fi doesn't extend that far out into the yard (a very likely scenario). You can also use the Bluetooth feature to cast movies from a laptop. Some reviewers say the picture is so bright and sharp that they don't even have to wait for total darkness to put the movie on.

13 best kids' scooters that will have toddlers and teens whizzing around

For kids, it doesn't get much better than whizzing around on a scooter. If you're a parent yet to be convinced, expect to be converted. School runs get done in record time, and those previous family walks stretch on for longer, with dragging feet replaced with a new need for speed. Scooters also act as a vehicle for kids to get some exercise while spending more time outdoors, too. Plus, zipping around on them can help improve their balance and gross motor skills during their early development, too. Of course, little racers should wear their helmet at all times. Usually, kids from the age of two can use basic kick scooters, and these tend to have two height adjustments for kids to grow into. More recently, innovations have seen ride-on toys that can transform into scooters that can be used by children from around a year old, meaning you'll get much more use out of them, and your money is well spent. Whether it's three-wheeled or two-wheeled, a first scooter or an upgrade, we've found the best scooters for everyone. How we tested the best kids' scooters Our troop of core reviewers were aged four, seven and 13 during testing. We also called in help from toddler testers when it came to the multifunctional scooters, which are aimed at kids aged one year plus. Most of the testing took place on pavements or tarmacked paths – whether that was the school run or out and about on a family walk – which is where the majority of the scooters performed best. We did also scope out other terrains, such as decking, indoor sports halls and bumpier terrain, such as cobbles and uneven surfaces. Testing took place, rain or shine, for over a month. We looked at adjustability, brakes, and the longevity the scooter provided. Most of all, we had a keen eye on which scooters our testers seemed to enjoy riding the most. Why you can trust IndyBest reviews Rebecca Moore has reviewed products for IndyBest since 2020 and has gathered a great deal of knowledge and testing experience, in particular for kids' and parenting buys, including toys. Rebecca and her group of willing young testers have taken these scooters for a spin to see how they fare under real-world conditions. The best kids' scooters for 2025 are:

Walmart Is Selling 'Exceptional' Smart Glasses for 70% Off: 'Far Less Expensive Than Bose'

The Arena Media Brands, LLC and respective content providers may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website. While less popular than fitness-tracking smart watches, a good pair of smart glasses is an underrated way to keep your productivity levels high, whether it's listening to your favorite sports podcast while you work or catching up on that audiobook while riding your bike. A big sale at Walmart right now is worth your attention if you're serious about trying them out. Right now, the Mingdaln wireless Bluetooth smart glasses are marked down to $60 — that's a 70% discount on their $200 retail price! Its built-in open ear speakers and AI voice control allow you to go hands-free while listening to music, making phone calls or taking voice notes. The 4.8-star (out of 5) rating is notable, too. Here is what some reviewers have said: "I purchased them in order to listen to my audio books while floating about the pool. In many respects, it is far less expensive than the Bose if they get wet," one buyer wrote. "The sound quality is exceptional for the price. I appreciate the matte finish of the frames, as it prevents them from slipping when I am exercising," someone added. "It is quite convenient to have spectacles that are equipped with speakers, as I work outdoors," another reviewer said. "I acquired them to facilitate the listening of podcasts and audio, and they function exceptionally well for this purpose." These glasses also come equipped with a storage box, charging cable, cleaning cloth, silicone ear pads and user manuals. According to the product description, these smart glasses "support 15 days of standby or 11 hours of continuous use (60% volume). Fast charging ensures all-day usability for work, travel, and outdoor activities." The lenses are also polarized to protect your eyes from too much blue light. If you're still on the fence, Walmart offers free shipping and free 90day returns if needed.
