Keter Rio 3 Piece Resin Wicker Patio Furniture Set with Side Table and Outdoor Chairs for Front Porch and Backyard Decor, Dark Grey

Why it's worth it

Keter's Rio set is two molded resin chairs and a small side table, and it weighs about 32 pounds total. It won't rust, warp, or fade, and it's the easiest set here to assemble and to move.

This is the set for a balcony or a narrow porch. The chairs are about 30 inches wide and the table is 15 inches square, so the whole thing tucks into a corner most furniture can't reach. At roughly 32 pounds combined, you can pick up a chair with one hand and shift the layout whenever you want.

The molded resin holds up far better than the price suggests. It's rust-proof polypropylene, and unlike woven rattan, it can't unravel, dent, or peel. Owners report leaving these out through multiple winters with no fading or structural change. Resin wicker generally tolerates a range from -20°F to 200°F without treatment, so this isn't a set you carry to the garage each fall.

What we like

• +This is the set for a balcony or a narrow porch
• +The molded resin holds up far better than the price suggests
• +Assembly is genuinely quick — most owners describe it as straightforward and obvious, which is not something we can say about…
• +There are no cushions, which sounds like a downside but removes the biggest maintenance chore in outdoor furniture

What to know

• –Three pieces means two people
• –The chairs sit fairly low and shallow, and some shorter owners add a lumbar cushion to sit more upright
• –Because it's light, it can move in strong wind
