10 of the best places to buy patio furniture in L.A.
Finding high-quality, attractive, and affordable patio furniture in Los Angeles can be challenging. This guide, compiled with insights from designers, prop stylists, set decorators, and local community groups, aims to simplify the search by highlighting ten brick-and-mortar stores offering diverse options from vintage finds to sustainable designer pieces.
The article begins by acknowledging the common struggle to find durable outdoor furniture, with Tatiana Tensen, co-founder of Eastside Staging Company, noting that much patio furniture has a short lifespan of one to two years. Tensen advises looking for specific brands known for longevity, such as Salterini, Brown Jordan, and Eames, and prioritizing materials like powder-coated metals and well-patinaed teak, along with high-quality outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella. While many opt for online retailers or large chain stores, this guide focuses on physical locations and local businesses, emphasizing the value of seeing and touching products before purchase.
The featured stores cater to various tastes and budgets. Furthur Furniture in Silver Lake specializes in custom tiled tables and wrought-iron chairs, crafted with hand-painted Mexican and Italian tiles, offering unique, durable pieces that take four to six weeks for custom orders. Willow Creek in Studio City provides luxury teak furniture, emphasizing durability and a “forest to backyard” approach where the company manages the entire production process from timber harvesting in Indonesia to design and construction. Prices reflect the quality and longevity, with pieces designed to last two decades.
Acme 5 in Santa Monica offers a bohemian-chic experience with curated items from Bali and Morocco, alongside design consultations from its founder, Anton Goss, a renowned production designer. The store features teak, wicker, and rattan pieces, appealing to those seeking an organic luxury aesthetic. RAD Furniture in Atwater Village presents utilitarian yet stylish steel furniture, designed and built in Los Angeles, known for its robustness and presence in commercial spaces. While pricier, these pieces are built to last and are complemented by a selection of other curated items like Japanese toolboxes.
For vintage enthusiasts, Xcape Modern in Long Beach, run by Steve Morris, offers revamped classic patio furniture, especially pieces with metal legs to prevent issues like raccoon infestations, which Morris humorously recounts. The store’s “boneyard” provides opportunities for custom powder-coating and restrapping. Urban Americana, also in Long Beach, is a large vintage mall with a constantly changing inventory of well-loved, reasonably priced outdoor pieces, including midcentury modern fireplaces. Reseda Discount Pottery and Fountains provides a unique experience with over a thousand running fountains, creating a serene oasis, along with heavy stone benches for those looking to add a water feature to their outdoor space.
Finally, for immediate and budget-friendly solutions, At Home in East Pasadena is recommended as a large big-box store offering a wide array of affordable patio furniture and outdoor decor. While not emphasizing long-term durability or high-end design, it serves the purpose of providing functional and aesthetically pleasing options for short-term needs. The guide ultimately aims to assist Los Angeles residents in navigating the diverse landscape of patio furniture shopping to find pieces that align with their style, budget, and durability preferences.
