Costco Patio Furniture

15 years ago

As our pool nears completion (supposed to plaster this Wednesday) we are on the hunt for patio furniture.

Has anyone with more knowledge/experience in this field than me comment on the quality of the current offerings available at Costco?

Everyone seems to say that's the best bang for your buck, and there are a few dining sets that would meet our needs.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback from anyone who's actually seen these in person and knows how to tell good quality from poor quality.

Thanks!

Costco is fine by me. We've had a table, swivel chairs and 2 loungers for the past 3 years and they've held up beautifully.

I'll never spend big bucks for a set again. Here's why: We paid $5000 for a gorgeous Homecrest set about 8 years ago. The frames were white, the slings were a green, white w/a fine black stripe because that's what was in style back then. Last season, you never saw white in the patio stores - mainly beige, bronze and blacks. Fortunately when we sold our house, they wanted the patio furniture and we were free from the dated white frames. After spending 5K on it, had they not bought it, I'd've been hard pressed to rationalize getting rid of it.

The point is, styles (and my taste) change every few years. I'd rather be able to change out my furniture when I want to than be married to a set that is outdated just because I paid a lot of money for it.

I dunno. If money were no object, I'd go for the best quality knowing that I could replace it whenever I got sick of it. But it is, so I can't.

I've been a Costco fan for many years now. Don't have a ton of experience with their patio furniture, but we just bought some... from the store vs costco.com... different selection. Stuff on the web looks good, but a litte more pricey. We picked up a table and set of sling chairs very reasonable... Kirlkand Signature (Costco brand), but made by Agio. Also picked up two chaise lounge chairs, sling also, along with an Umbrella and stand. Both sets and the umbrella have Sunbrella fabric and seem like great quality. Prices and the Costco "warranty" can't be beat... so we thought we'd give it a shot. Good luck.

ms firstpool,

Thanks for the response. It seems most of the in-store stuff is made by Agio. Is this a known brand?

I saw the sling furniture you're speaking of a few weeks ago, but I believe it was all gone when I was in there today. The quantities left are pretty small compared to only a few weeks ago, so I'm wondering if I should jump on something.

I have Lloyd Flanders all-weather wicker - sofa, rocker, chair & ottoman. Have had ours for 11 yrs. Replaced original cushions about 6 yrs. ago w/ some from another online custom cushion vendor. Looked very pretty but they were not comfortable at all - solid foam and a little batting without much give. Bit the bullet & got new LF cushions 2 yrs. later, even though replacement cushions didn't show any wear (so uncomfortable no one wanted to sit on them..) Set looks brand new and is so comfortable and inviting. My advice would be to try to find a place where you can try sitting on the set - or at least one with the same type frame and cushions - before purchasing. Some of the lower priced sets are fine if they're for occasional seating, or mostly for looks. But if you're planning to spend a lot of time entertaining in the space or relax on weekends with the Sunday paper or a good book, I'd highly recommend a test drive.

I don't own any furniture from there, but I sure need to make it a point to go look more often ;) A year or two ago I read an article about Costco's furniture offerings. It was a furniture industry publication, and it was more about Costco's attempts to gain a foothold in the furniture market. The article did note that although they do carry different manufacturers, among those are some really good quality furniture choices at a savings over typical retail $.

Val, I love all the choices you've made. The chairs, ottomans and unbrella look so inviting to sit and chat with a friend or your dear hubby. And I've always loved wrought iron table and chairs. They're just classic and in my opinion, will never go out of style. As for the urn, I wouldn't plug the hole or get a drainage dish. Any run off would dry so fast you'll not have to worry. I think it wouldn't look as nice with a drainage dish either. It's a beautiful pot.

Does anyone have the "La Jolla" resin wicker set from Costco (also made by Agio)? It is a dining set with a stone table. Seems to be high quality and certainly not "cheap"

It appears as though they've carried it seasonally since at least 2007 based on something I saw online.

I believe are dining set was close to the La Jolla, we the stone table with sunbrella backing on the chairs. No problems after two years in the sun and rain. You will need to reseal the stone table every year. Just order a can of sealer from Agio

I have two wicker sets from Costco in my backyard. One is a little over a year old, and the other is about a month old.
Great deal, good quality.
