I'm an interior designer, and these are Amazon's best Memorial Day patio furniture sales

Memorial Day is here — the unofficial start of summer. That means it's time to bask in the sunshine. Can you have class outside? Yes, you can! Take your work outside during the week, then party alfresco all weekend. A comfortable seating area means you can take naps between Zoom calls or get comfy with cocktails.

My recommendation as a designer: an outdoor sectional. Today's sets are super-versatile with pieces that can be configured in numerous ways, customizing your space and maximizing your patio's potential. Move components as needed for lounging poolside or enjoying shrimp skewers, expanding your dining area.

Right now it's easy to make your patio dreams come true, thanks to some amazing sales at Amazon. I've curated my favorite sets for you below, and the sale prices will have you swooning (find more steals here). Get one before summer is officially underway.

Said one satisfied buyer: "This is a perfect outdoor furniture set for us. We like the color and size. It came in four boxes and it was easy to put together as it described. We are impressed with the waterproof cushions. It got all wet during a storm [but dried] pretty quickly."

Best Choice 6-Piece, 7-Seater Wicker Patio Furniture Set

$700$900Save $200

This sophisticated dining set is not quite a sectional, but it might as well be. Two chairs, two ottomans and a sofa surround the durable dining table. It'll bring the comfort; you bring the barbecue!

One happy reviewer said: "My wife and I bought this set several months ago. We have thoroughly enjoyed the purchase. The set is decorative, durable, and has been exactly what was wanted for the oasis of our deck area. We would highly recommend the set for anyone looking for a nice addition to their patio or deck area."

Rattaner

Rattaner 9-Piece Outdoor Wicker Furniture Set

$970$1,020Save $50

This nine-piece set comes with all the bells and whistles: traction fabric under the cushions so they stay put, multiple configuration options, water-resistant materials, throw pillows and protective cover. You can opt for a convenient storage coffee table with a glass top or a fire pit.

$970 at Amazon

This thrilled reviewer said: "Love, love, love this sectional! I was a little hesitant to purchase online without seeing it in person, and there weren’t any reviews at the time. But I am so glad we went ahead and purchased this one! It’s a beautiful color, both wicker and fabric (peacock blue is gorgeous!). Definitely water resistant. The water pools and can be brushed off without it soaking into the cushions. It took a while to assemble but was very straightforward and went a bit faster once we got the hang of it. Definitely recommend having two people to help as it can be time-consuming. Very comfortable and sturdy. Would highly recommend!"
