Promising review: “I love that the bowl of this firepit is not bolted to the frame and can be independently lifted out. It makes it so much easier to take care of. The assembly was extremely easy. The lid is sturdy and also easy to handle with the included hook. My absolute favorite thing about this firepit was that it came with a cover included. This firepit is sent to you ready to be taken care of well and easily. The cover seems to be water-resistant and has an elastic band at the base and is simple to put in place. The size is perfect and easy to handle. It is lightweight whether the bowl is in the frame or you are carrying each piece separately. If you have been looking for a great and easy-to-care-for firepit, you found it. —anonymous

Promising review: “Very nice sturdy lounges with thick cushion that keeps its shape after seating. My husband put it together without my help. We got 2 of these and they look very nice next to each other. Love the trays underneath as they come so in handy, eliminating the need for other little tables. We have them under patio shade and we live in California, not sure how they would do in full sun. We have them covered in nice pocket beach towels though! We would definitely recommend these lounges!” —Sandina

Promising review: “I’ve put together quite a few pools and this is the easiest one so far. Everything snaps together well and disassembles easily. Struggled with draining at the end of the season but that was likely user error, lost the instructions. Survived the summer with my kids, no issues.” —Erica

Promising review: “Really love this fountain. Not too big and not too small. It looks more expensive than what it costs. The setup and assembly took 10 minutes. The sound from it is just wonderful. I recommend this fountain and so glad I bought it.” —GianC

Promising review: “Great value for the money, recommend!” —Kathy

Promising review: “Better Homes and Gardens planters are quickly becoming my favorite. And this extra tall one is no exception. I love the textured design on the outside. It has very sturdy walls and should hold up for the long term. I was pleased with the first one I bought, so I bought a second for the back deck. I'm excited to have one of this height to use as a statement piece with other average-sized pots in both locations. They have a rubber plug in the drain hole, so it can be used either way.” —Walmart customer

Promising review: “This has become my favorite piece of outdoor furniture. The canopy can be adjusted to ensure I'm always protected from the sun. It's comfortable and sturdy enough for my elderly mother to sit on it and get up from it without assistance. I might get a second since I like to sit with my legs up so that others can enjoy it too.” —Angela

Price: $107.99+ (originally $179; available in seven colors)

Promising review: “Great swing. Easy to put together, comfortable, sturdy. The chain is positioned in a way that doesn't interfere with your arm or elbow. Cushions were nice, although they were more of a rust color than red. Love it.” —Judy
