Runner Up: Best Patio Set Under $300

Our runner-up of the patio furniture sets under $300 is the Merax four piece rattan wicker patio furniture set. This garden furniture set is more transitional/traditional in style than the Giantex set referenced above.

The color palette is dark brown rather than gray, and the contrast of the light cushions on the dark brown PE wicker rattan is quite attractive. This set can be a bit of a pain to assemble, but once it’s together, it is solid.

Goplus Outdoor Garden Patio 4-Piece Cushioned Seat Mix Gray Wicker Sofa Furniture Set

The Goplus Outdoor Garden Patio 4 Piece Cushioned furniture set is an attractive garden furniture set, with contemporary lines and a quality build. This patio furniture set is shaded in an attractive mixed gray wicker color, and made of steel with rattan .

What’s Included

The GoPlus Outdoor four-piece furniture package includes:

• One double sofa
• Two single sofas
• One tempered glass coffee table
• Seat cushions for all chairs

The Details

The Goplus four-piece furniture set is pretty comfortable and is built out pretty nicely. It is sun and water resistant and can be left out in the elements (though you should take the cushions in, or put them in a deck box).

We do recommend covering it or taking it in during the winter, but it can be left outside during the warmer months.

The base material for this furniture is steel, and it is wrapped with a PE rattan wicker material (not real wicker, but rather a plastic resin wicker). The chairs are designed to hold up to 300lbs of weight, and all have arms. The cushions are a beige polyester fabric and are sponge padded for comfort.

No back cushions are supplied with this furniture set, and it is comfortable enough without cushions as is. However, if you wanted to throw a few pillows on there, a color pop would only enhance the looks of this furniture set, and the added pillows would likely make things a bit more comfortable.

Dimensions

This image shows the dimensions for all of these pieces. The dimensions for the individual pieces are:

• Single sofa: 23.23”×25.20”×31”(l×d×h)
• Double sofa: 43.30”×25.20”×31”(l×d×h)
• Table: 35”×18.11”×17.32”(l×w×h)
• Cushion for single sofa: 20”×18.5”×2”(l×d×thickness)
• Cushion for double sofa: 40”×18.5”×2”(l×d×thickness)

Assembly

The Goplus furniture set arrives packed like an Ikea furniture box; it does not come assembled. Assembly takes an hour or so, and no special tools are required to get this all together.

The Bottom Line

Goplus has put together one of the best patio sets, and there are really very few complaints. The set is not huge but can be spread out if it’s on a large patio, or placed closer together if set in a more intimate location.

The material is attractive and the whole set looks elegant. Unfortunately, this package is not available on Amazon Prime, and it currently is not available with free shipping.

Merax 4 PCS Patio Rattan Furniture Set Cushioned Outdoor Garden Wicker Rattan furniture with Beige Cushion (Brown-NO.2)

The Merax 4 Piece Patio Rattan Furniture Set is a very similar configuration to the Goplus furniture set described above. It features the same setup: a pair of armchairs, both with cushions, a tempered-glass table, and a sofa with arms, also with a cushion.

These are attractive glass garden furniture sets, with lines that are both contemporary and transitional.

The Merax set would fit in many decors, and the medium brown PE wicker color blends very nicely with greenery.

What’s Included

• One double sofa
• Two single sofas
• Table with tempered glass top
• Seat cushions for all of the chairs

The Details

The Merax 4 Piece Outdoor Furniture set is attractive and simple. It is made of a steel frame, wrapped with PE rattan wicker material (plastic resin, not real wicker). The materials have a high-quality finish, and the whole design is one of elegance.

These chairs are capable of handling around 330lbs of weight.

These deck dining sets are designed to be left out in the elements, at least during the warmer months. We would suggest a cover if you plan to leave them out during the winter; otherwise, bring it all in.

Also, while the cushions are treated with a water-resistant material, we would suggest bringing them in when not in use, or storing them in a deck box.

Unfortunately, this table does not feature any shelves for storage. It seems like it would be pretty simple for Merax to get a shelf in there, given the setup of the table, but they neglected to.

We hope that they modify this in the future, as storage would be very helpful there!

Dimensions

This patio furniture set has the following dimensions

• Armchair: 23” x 21” x 31”(L X D X H)
• Two-seater: 41” x 23” x 31”( L X D X H)
• Table: 27.5” x 16” x 16.5” (L X W X H)
• Cushion for armchair: 18.5” x 18.5” x 2”
• Cushion for double sofa: 35.5” x 18.5” x 2”

Assembly

This package comes shipped in an Ikea-like box and must be assembled upon receipt. Assembly does not require additional tools and is not difficult in the sense of effort exertion, but many have been exasperated by issues of holes not lining up properly.

This can lead to a lot of headaches getting everything properly assembled.

Additionally, users must be careful to not over-tighten the screws, as that can damage the material. Of course, you also don’t want to under-secure the screws, as that will make the furniture wobbly.

The Bottom Line

The Merax 4 piece outdoor furniture set is a quality outdoor patio furniture set that looks beautiful and is quite functional. If you can get through the assembly, it is sturdy and structurally sound.

For the price, these are excellent patio furniture sets.

Giantex 4pc Patio Furniture Set Cushioned Outdoor Wicker Rattan Garden Lawn Sofa Seat

The Giantex 4 piece Patio Furniture Set is a similar package to the previous pieces, though it has a bit simpler lines and more modern look. Each of these pieces has a wicker back, but the frames are made of exposed steel, and the sides are open. The lines on these outdoor patio dining set are a bit straighter and more mid-century than many of the others on this list.

What’s Included

This furniture package includes the following pieces:

• Double sofa with arms
• Two single sofas with arms
• Tea table with tempered glass top
• Seat cushions for all chairs

The Details

Like the other packages on this list, the Giantex 4-piece is primarily made of steel, with PE wicker rattan as a covering material. This is high-grade resin plastic and not true wicker. It looks quite nice, and the emphasis on this set is more on the steel than on the PE rattan, which is a good thing.

The weight capacity for these chairs is 300 lbs.

This outdoor patio furniture set is capable of withstanding the elements, within reason. In the winter they should be covered or taken in, and we would suggest putting the cushions away when not in use, as that will increase their longevity.

This patio set is a handsome gray color, and the pillows are a slightly offset gray, making the whole unit look quite nice. Contrasting color pillows or plates will really pop against the soothing gray of this furniture package.

The glass top is pretty functional, though the suction cup system designed to hold it in place could be a little better. It would be possible to remove the glass top altogether and not use it, though that would mean having a bumpy rattan coffee table top.

There is no way to attach the pillows to the seats on these outdoor dining tables and chairs, which is unfortunate.

Dimensions

The dimensions of this patio furniture set are shown here. The size of each individual piece is as follows:

• Double Sofa: 29.5″ x 44.88″ x 23.26″
• Single Sofa: 29.5″ x 23.62 x 23.26″
• Table 33.46″ x 17.72″ x 15″

Assembly

This comes in an Ikea-style box and must be assembled. All tools are included, though the directions are poor. Assembly may take some time, as you’ll need to look at the finished units and figure out how it all goes together. None of it is difficult, but Giantex could certainly work on its directions!

The Bottom Line

The Giantex Four Piece Patio Furniture set is the best cheap patio furniture set under $300. Its modern, mid-century lines and color scheme make it look great, and the setup is really quite nice.

This package takes a bit of a different turn from many of the heavily-woven furniture sets available and looks much nicer in the end.

If you can deal with the pain of getting it assembled, it should be long lasting and will look beautiful on your patio, or in the garden.

Giantex 4pc Patio Rattan Furniture Set Tea Table &Chairs Outdoor Garden Steel Frame

The Giantex 4 piece Patio Rattan Furniture Set, with steel frame, differs in slight, but significant, ways, from the other 4 seater garden table and chairs on this list.

The biggest change is the additional set of back cushions included with this set. These pillows add a significant amount of comfort to the furniture set, but compared to some of the other sets on this list, aren’t as aesthetically pleasing.

What’s Included

This set includes the following pieces:

• Double sofa with arms
• Two single sofas with arms
• Tea table with tempered glass top
• Seat cushions for all chairs
• Back cushions for all chairs

The Details

This Giantex outdoor patio furniture set is great if you like plush furniture. The sandy beige colored pillows are soft and sponge filled. They feel quite comfortable on the body.

The frame of these four-seater outdoor table and chairs is made of steel, which is then wrapped in PE wicker rattan material. This is a resin plastic material, that looks nice, but is not actual wicker.

The table has a glass top, attached by suction cups. Unfortunately, it does not offer any storage.

This patio furniture set is weather-resistant and can be left out in the elements without much issue. In the winter it should be covered or taken in, but it can handle other seasonal weather. The cushions soak up water when it rains, so they should be removed when not in use and stored inside or in a deck box.

The cushions are not of the best quality, and cannot be machine washed. In the end, if you want a cushioned patio furniture set, it may be wise to purchase separate cushions for this unit.

The weight capacity for these chairs is up to 300 lbs, which is pretty good. The chairs have adjustable leveling feet so that this can be tweaked to be level on an uneven surface, which is a nice plus.

Dimensions

• Single Chair: 26.4”×29”×31.5”(L×D×H)
• Double Chair: 44.5”×29”×31.5”(L×D×H)
• Tea Table: 35.83”×20.08”×15.75”(L×W×H)

Assembly

This unit comes packaged like an Ikea furniture pack. It needs to be assembled, and no special tools are required. The most difficult part of the assembly is getting the holes to line up properly, and this can be a significant pain point for some people.

In general, most people familiar with putting patio furniture together should be able to get this together in an hour or two, but some users have reported significant struggles getting this patio furniture set together.

The Bottom Line

We like the idea behind this furniture set, with its excess of plush cushions. Ultimately, though, these cushions break down in the sun and in the moisture, and will probably need to be replaced.

Given that the cushions need to be replaced, it may be better to start out with one of the other patio furniture sets on our list and invest in some nice throw pillows with Sunbrella fabric for the backs.

With the price point this set is positioned at, it is not a bad deal if you like the plush look. This is available with free shipping, though unfortunately, it is not available through Amazon Prime.

This unit ships via freight.

Vifah V1381 Outdoor Wood Folding Bistro Set with Square Table and Two Chairs

Finishing out our list is a complete turn from the wicker and metal patio sets above. The Vifah Outdoor Wood Folding Bistro Set is an inexpensive wooden table and folding chair set. These patio dining sets are well made and placed at a good price point.

What’s Included

• Two folding wooden bistro chairs
• One folding wooden bistro table

The Details

This three piece bistro set is made from high-density Eucalyptus wood, is are rot, mold, and pest resistant. The wood is sustainably sourced, and certified through the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).

These outdoor dining chairs should be able to hold at least 200 lbs without difficulty.

The wood on this three-piece patio dining set is unfinished, and should not need to be treated. It may weather over time and become more silvery if it is left out in the sun. Should you wish to, you could put a stain or varnish on the material.

The Vifah three-piece outdoor table and chairs are a bit on the small side, so it’s ideal for those with small balconies, porches, or intimate spaces in need of a small set. It is a bit tight for two people to eat on the table, though snacks and drinks are able to fit on it without difficulty.

Dimensions

• Table: 20″ x 20″ x 28″
• Chairs: 15″ x 20″ x 31″

Assembly

There is no assembly required on this 3 piece patio set. Just unfold and you’ve got your table and chairs! When you’re done, you can fold them back up and store them for later use, protected from the elements.

The Bottom Line

If you are looking for an outdoor 3 piece patio set, the Vifah wood bistro table and chairs set is an excellent option!

The design is simple, and the cost is reasonable, given that it’s made of real wood, sustainably harvested. This is our favorite wooden patio furniture set under $300.
