Walmart is selling a 3-piece patio set for $145 that’s weather and UV-resistant
TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.Why we love this dealThere are so many things to look forward to once the weather starts to get warm. As if it wasn’t enough that it offers a much-needed reprieve to the freezing, snow-packed months prior, warm weather gives us the chance to see the flowers start to bloom and freshen up our own greenery in our yards, break out our sleeveless tops and cutoff shorts, keep the windows open to let in a nice breeze, and enjoy days where the sun lasts longer and sets much later. But even if we didn’t have a wide variety of activities to look forward to, just getting to sit outdoors and enjoy some sunshine is reason enough to countdown the days till winter is over, and nothing makes it better than having a great patio set or outdoor furniture to kick off your shoes and curl up on. Not only is it a great place to take your morning coffee or enjoy a cocktail after the end of a long day, but more often than not, a patio furniture set is the centerpiece for many a family and friend gathering, especially as we inch closer to summer. Making sure you have a great set that can withstand the elements is simply a must, and while you sometimes have to pay for that kind of quality, everyday retailers like Walmart offer deals that fit everybody’s budget. Right now, the Homall 3-Piece Patio Furniture Set is on sale for 44% off its original price. Instead of paying $260, you can get the two chairs and matching coffee table for only $145 — leaving you $115 to put towards a new umbrella, hammock, or fire pit.

Why do shoppers love it?Patio sets don’t have to be overly large to provide the perfect sitting area. In fact, this three-piece set is perfect for those who don’t have an overly large backyard or patio area, but want something to sit in after a long day. With two chairs and a coffee table, you get everything you need to create the perfect warm weather nook to read a book in, chat with a spouse or friend, enjoy drinks and snacks, or just sit back and catch some rays.The two chairs measure 26.8 inches long, 25.2 inches wide, and 29.5 inches high and they’re made with a sturdy steel frame and covered with a polyethylene (PE) rattan that’s known as the “ideal” material for outdoor furniture because it’s so durable. It’s a synthetic, weather-resistant material specifically engineered for outdoor furniture because it is UV-resistant, which keeps it from fading, cracking, or turning brittle. It also doesn’t absorb moisture, which prevents mold and degradation and makes it perfect for coastal areas, gardens, or on a poolside patio deck. With all that in mind, an added bonus is that it also looks great from a design perspective. It’s simple yet classic, and on the off chance it does get damaged, it’s easily repairable to the point where you wouldn’t be able to point out the specific spot you replaced. The sitting area of the chairs measures 20.87 inches long and 15.75 inches high, and has armrests measuring 2.8 inches wide. The bottom and back both have weather-resistant cushions made from polyester and filled with elastic sponge that provide comfort and support. The polyester makes them water-resistant and quick-drying, but since standard polyester can be prone to fading colorwise, it’s best not to leave the cushions out directly in the sun. The cushions are removable, perfect for storage when conditions are damp or when the set isn’t being used. Related: Walmart is selling a ‘fabulous’ outdoor storage box for $55, and shoppers say it’s ‘easy to put together’Measuring 19.9 inches long, 19.7 inches wide, and 19.9 inches high, the coffee table is made of the same PE rattan material, with tempered glass top. The bottom of the coffee table is open on one side, which allows you to use the cubby-like space for storage, while the easy-to-clean glass top provides the perfect resting place for decor, drinks, or snacks. Details to knowMaterial: Steel frames, polyethylene rattan, polyester, and sponge filler. Includes: Two chairs and a coffee table.Dimensions: The chairs measure 26.8 inches long, 25.2 inches wide, and 29.5 inches high. The seat area measures 20.87 inches long and 15.75 inches high with armrests that measure 2.8 inches wide. The coffee table measures 19.9 inches long, 19.7 inches wide, and 19.9 inches high.Shoppers call this set “the perfect addition to any outdoor space.” The chairs are super sturdy and durable, but lightweight so you can easily move them around to change up an arrangement, and the cushions are soft and comfortable. “The set has a sleek, modern look that blends well with any patio or garden setting,” one shopper said. Assembly is required, but it’s very straightforward and takes little time. The quality is impressive, and shoppers find the set to be a great addition around a pool, on a patio or deck, or even set up directly on the grass.
