If You’re Still Searching for an Outdoor Sofa, My Mom’s Favorite Sectional Might Be for You
The summer is in full swing, and lots of people are finally hosting friends and family at their homes. This season, folks are taking the party outdoors, and of course, comfortable and stylish seating is a priority. If you still haven’t decked out your backyard because you can’t find the perfect furniture, it isn’t too late. My mom just scored the best outdoor sectional that I personally am in love with, and it’s great for spaces big and small.
Last spring, home furnishings company Zinus released a line of outdoor furniture for summer. Back when I lived in an apartment, I ordered their outdoor loveseat for my balcony, and I got tons of compliments on it. So this summer when they expanded their collection with a modern, modular outdoor sectional offering, my mom knew she had to have it.
My parents live in Phoenix, Arizona, where practically every season is patio season, and since they have a pool, they’re always hanging out in their backyard. This summer, my mom was excited to fully furnish their outdoor space to get it ready to host friends and family. “I really loved your balcony set up at your old apartment,” my mom says. “Our backyard is pretty big though, so I knew I needed something bigger [than just a loveseat].”
When you step outside the back door, my parent’s backyard starts with a fairly sizable, covered cement patio with columns. There’s turf beyond that, which leads to the pool. To accent this separation, my mother decided to make the cement platform a “dry space” to sit, hang out, and relax, anchored by the Zinus outdoor sofa setup. “We configured the sectional pieces to fit perfectly in this space,” my mom says of the L-shape they created with the Savannah Outdoor Loveseat With Reversible Side Table, the Savannah Outdoor Corner Seat, and the Savannah Outdoor Ottoman all hugging part of the patio’s perimeter. “It’s just as comfortable as it is cute! It was the perfect addition to our backyard.”
The best thing about this company’s outdoor furniture is its quality and comfort; the cushions feature memory foam! The weatherproof upholstery material is also super-easy to clean; even if you get it dirty or leave it out in the rain, all it takes is a quick wipe-down to make it look new again.
The pieces that make up this configuration of the Savannah range from $249 to $699, but you can adjust the configuration to adapt to as small or big of an area as you like. While that’s not exactly cheap, you also can build out your set in phases, adding onto your unit when you’re ready to splurge on a new piece. According to my mother, this sofa setup is one of her favorite places to relax. She says, “I love this sofa so much, I could sit out here all day.”
