The best outdoor furniture buys to shop before Black Friday

Best for: elevating your exteriors with a coastal-chic staple

As someone who’s currently redesigning my home’s interior and exterior, I’ve spent more time surfing the Early Settler website than I’d care to admit. With their thoughtfully designed pieces that don’t push me over budget, I’ve already turned to the brand for an entertainment console and some country chic stools, which I couldn’t be happier with. The next staple sitting in my cart? The Nova Sofa, a timeless design that brings coastal charm to any outdoor space.

With a stylish yet sturdy wicker and aluminium frame, minimalist sand coloured cushions, and a range of additional Nova items available for those wanting to build out their alfresco space, the Nova sofa is built to withstand the weather and impress your guests.

Key features:

• All-weather synthetic wicker with aluminium frame
• Removable light-sand coloured cushions
• Curved lines and back for added comfort
• Seats 3 guests
• 1-year warranty
• Measurements: 225cm W x 80cm D x 74cm H

Best for: affordability and enhancing your morning coffee

If you’re curious about which outdoor furniture set currently takes pride of place in this shopping editor’s backyard, it’s the Cordoba Foldable Acacia Patio Set, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Most mornings, you’ll find me perched in one of its surprisingly comfortable chairs, coffee in hand, soaking up the sunshine.

The clincher? Beyond its refreshingly affordable price tag, it’s the thoughtful design details that won me over. I’m a firm believer that a good backrest makes all the difference, and despite its compact size, the Cordoba’s back cushioning gives me exactly what I’m after.

Need more seating? Try their Grove Outdoor Dining Set for a similar aesthetic and equally great price.

Key features:

• 3 year warranty
• Water resistant
• Removable cushion covers
• Crafted from acacia wood
• Table Measurements: 60cm D x 60cm W x 72cm H

For those who love laying out in the sun, pop on a generous layer of sunscreen and lie out on MCM House’s luxe Outdoor Roew Lounge.

However, this piece isn’t likely to be around for long; Libby McCurley, the Interior Design Manager from MCM House says their outdoor collection will likely be the most popular in the lead up to Black Friday.

Best for: taking the trending clay colourway outside

Over the course of 2025, we’ve seen a massive spike in terracotta and clay-coloured interiors, so why not take it outside? Mocka’s Renzo Outdoor Coffee Table is large enough to hold your summer charcuterie plates, but compact enough to fit into most alfresco spaces.

Crafted from lightweight and durable MgO, it’s the perfect staple for those wanting a statement piece. Trust us, you’ll want to lock down this exterior centrepiece before it’s gone, but with an equally stunning beige variant on offer, the hardest part is choosing which one you want to take home.
