10 stores to buy cheap patio furniture in Toronto

Cheap patio furniture in Toronto is tough to find outside of Box stores like Canadian Tire and Home Depot which tend to have offerings that leave something to be desired in the design department. Fortunately, there are a handful of shops around the city that carry stylish outdoor furniture that won't completely break the bank.

Here are my picks for the top places to buy cheap patio furniture in Toronto.

Modani
Five-piece patio sets start at $540 at Modani, though you can sometimes do better than that during off-season sales. Chairs start at $149 in a variety of styles, all of which show off contemporary design that's far nicer than the price might indicate.

Moss Danforth
Head here for colourful three-piece patio sets that start at $129. If you have a bit more to spend, there's a wide selection of furniture crafted out of acacia, wicker, and metal that's still less expensive than you'll find at other patio specialists around the city.

Cabana Coast
Cast aluminium patio furniture starts at around $150 at Cabana Coast. It goes up to $1500+ of course, but those on the lookout for more affordable options should target their basic lines, which feature pared down pieces good for those who want to outfit an outdoor space without having to save up for the entire winter.

Wicker Park
Wicker Park is a good spot to target for significant discounts on patio furniture that's on the more expensive side when its marked at full price. You should, however, be able to find a selection of three-piece sets in the $500 range even in the absence of a discount.

Urban Barn
This chain of furnishing shops has a wider selection of outdoor accents than it does furniture, but its patio sets are smart-looking and reasonably priced. The three-piece teak set at $329 would be an excellent way to outfit a balcony.

DOT Furniture
DOT has a huge selection of patio furniture to choose from, a decent portion of which falls in the affordable range. Those looking to outfit a small terrace or condo balcony should take a look at their bistro sets, which feature tables and chairs that range between $59 and $129 each.

InsideOut
You could spend a lot of money on the larger sets at InsideOut, but once again, there are deals to be had on the bistro sets on offer. Made from teak and cast aluminium, these tables and chairs are classic in style and highly durable.

West Elm
West Elm has a great selection of patio furniture for under $400. Instead of buying pre-packaged three-piece sets, you can purchase each piece separately to assemble the outdoor set-up that makes the most sense for your space.

IKEA
It should come as little surprise that IKEA is an excellent source for stylish but affordable patio furniture. Chairs start for as little as $15, but the best feature of IKEA's lineup is the variety of price points. Three-piece sets range between $109 and $239, but larger sets can also be had starting at $249. Get them early in the season as by summer they tend to sell out.

The Bay
If you shop at the right time you can score some big discounts on patio furniture at Canada's iconic retailer. Chairs, lounges and dining sets are just some of what's on offer from their Home Studio and Glucksteinhome collections.
