Martha Stewart collaborated with outdoor furniture makers to design this collection of elegant yet relaxed heirloom-worthy designs made to stand the test of time. Boasting graceful lines and intricate chinoiserie latticework, this set embodies her classic aesthetic and speaks to an ageless design aesthetic.
Most of these sets utilize solution-dyed fabric which offers better sun damage resistance, stain and mildew resistance than printed or piece-dyed materials. Some feature tables with storage space while others provide preconfigured seating arrangements.
Freehill Patio Set
The Freehill Patio Set is an exquisitely minimalist solution for sunny backyard nooks. Comprised of sleek club chairs and an attractive sofa topped with plush cushions, plus throw pillows to complete the look, its modern flair comes from its grey wood-look brushed aluminum frame with bisecting details and modernized pieces like its glass top side table featuring leveling feet on all components – this set oozes elegance while remaining functionally simple.
Before purchasing a Martha Stewart patio set, consider how and who will use the furniture. If your plans include hosting large gatherings, a conversation or dining set might be more suited; while for lounging and socializing with family or friends a two-person daybed might provide more comfort.
Selecting durable materials is also key, since weather conditions can quickly cause outdoor furniture to wear down quickly. Sets featuring cast aluminum or synthetic wicker that won’t rust and furniture made with fade-resistant fabric such as this woven with pigmented fibers tend to fade less frequently than printed or piece-dyed options.
Martha Stewart’s outdoor furniture collection provides a comprehensive selection of seating and lounge options, including modular pieces that can be added on over time. Many sets include dining tables, coffee tables and lounges so you can easily create the ideal outdoor oasis to suit your needs.
The Martha Stewart Collection in partnership with Polywood brings lifestyle expert and entertaining icon Martha Stewart’s love of traditional decor together with relaxed yet heirloom-worthy designs made to stand the test of time. Boasting dining, lounge, and porch furniture made with beauty and quality in mind – it celebrates Stewart’s homegrown spirit and her dedication to American makers.

Foster Chair
Foster chair is the epitome of warm minimalism, celebrating classic neutrals and subtle textures with clean lines and luxe coordinating throw pillows for a striking and comfortable accent chair in any living room. A deep seat and broad arms offer maximum seating comfort, while Bedford jacquard fabric with its performance finish adds durability while adding style.
Consider how you and your family will use a seating set before making your selection. For entertaining guests, an eight-piece dining set or conversation set might be suitable; but for intimate backyard dinners and casual BBQ gatherings, two-person daybeds or loveseats might work better.
Consider whether or not you want a table and chairs or an outdoor lounge setting with cocktail table as part of your Martha Stewart patio furniture set. In general, the more pieces a set contains will increase its cost.
If you prefer neutrals in your decor, search for furniture in natural or off-white tones. These colors will blend in easily with most decor styles without clashing with existing furnishings you have. To achieve a more contemporary aesthetic, go for metal or faux wood-look frames instead of traditional wicker options.
Before purchasing any furniture, it’s advisable to read through its description for care instructions and warranty details. In particular, make sure you read the fabric care label if possible and select high-performance fabrics which can withstand sun damage, stains, mildew growth and more – look for solution-dyed or pigment-infused fiber fabrics as these tend to fade less rapidly than printed or piece-dyed options.
Though many customers found Stewart’s patio sets to be of excellent quality and at competitive prices, others reported that the furniture fell apart over time. One customer noted that her two chairs and table only lasted one season outdoors before becoming worn-out despite being shaded by trees. Others complained about uncomfortable cushions which lacked softness typical of high-end furniture.
