10 affordable garden furniture sets to buy in 2024

Whether you're designing a space for relaxing, entertaining friends and family, or even working from home, it can be easy to fall into the trap of over-spending on a piece of flashy furniture – but you really don't have to.

Although they can be a little bit harder to find, there are plenty of affordable furniture options on the market. Sites like vidaXL in particular make it their mission to sell beautiful, functional pieces at an affordable price.

On their online store, you'll find a huge selection of trendy, practical and handmade items sold at affordable prices, and – best of all – they're sustainable. From simple acacia chairs to fashionable sun loungers, vidaXL is a one-stop-shop for furniture, hardware and so much more.

We've rounded up 10 vidaXL's best and most affordable pieces of garden furniture, including corner sofas, folding tables and giant parasols. Thanks to their fast self-service, a lot of vidaXL’s garden furniture comes with free delivery and will arrive in three to five days once you’ve placed your order.

A few things to consider before you purchase your new garden furniture: make sure it's sturdy and durable and well up the task to withstanding the British weather. It's a good idea to buy pieces that come with a cover, or make sure you have a good storage solution, like a shed or a garage, to store them throughout winter.

Getting furniture of the right size for your space is also essential, so we'd suggest measuring your garden, balcony or patio before you order anything, or prioritise items that fold up or can be divided into pieces, so you don't end up filling up too much space.

So, without further ado, here's a look at 10 of the best affordable garden furniture sets.

Teak Wood Folding Garden Table

Just because you own garden furniture doesn't mean it has to be out on display – especially during the winter months when you're getting hardly any use out of it. That's where small folding tables like this come in handy. At just 76cm high and 85cm wide (when unfolded), this garden table can be neatly stored away, or even taken out with you on picnics and camping trips.

The table is comprised of durable teak wood that's been kiln dried and fine-sanded to give a smooth appearance, and it comes in octagonal and square designs to suit your outdoor dining needs.

Polly Rattan Sun Lounger with Dark Grey Cushions

Polly Rattan, or polyethylene (PE) rattan is a flexible, lightweight material often used as an alternative to wood or metal in garden furniture. Not only is it cheaper, but as a synthetic, it can also be left outdoors all year round without fear of rotting or wearing away.

That means sun loungers such as these will stand the test of time, and be able to handle whatever the British weather decides to throw at it. Last but not least, this piece features a sleek grey design with padded cushions, and can be adjusted into a seated and lying position.
