When looking for cheap conversation sets, the Mainstays Stanton set should be on your list.  With steel frames with a dark brown powder-coated finish, it should last for years in your outdoor space.  

The seating is made comfortable by the seat and back cushions. The cushions are available in three colors, Red, Brown, and Green. A strap with a clip on the back of the seat and back cushions will hold them in place when they are attached to the back of the frame.

The cushions will sit on sling fabric, this fabric will not be able to be used for sitting as it will be too low and it will not be comfortable. The cushions do not have zippers to remove the covers for cleaning.

The table has a tempered glass top that is built into a frame.  The glass top may be hard to replace if broken. Four legs with a lower metal band will support the table. No provision for a patio umbrella in this table.

The table will be 31.9 inches long, 20 inches wide, and 18 inches tall. The length is shorter than most as most coffee tables are around 40 inches long.

Each chair will be 24.25 inches wide, 29.5 inches deep, and 28 inches tall. The loveseat will be 45.3 inches wide. Each sitting position will hold 250 pounds.

Care of your set will be easy, just mild soap and water to clean any debris left behind.  Your cushions should be stored when not needed, see some articles on storage for solutions.

This set will fit nicely in smaller outdoor spaces as the pieces are smaller than most. A small patio or balcony will find this set in the perfect place. It is not made for bigger people.

My thoughts on these four sets

Depending on the look you are looking for, one of these 4 Conversation Sets Patio Furniture for under $300 may work well.  They are very different in design and style, one will work for most outdoor decors.  Glass top tables, cushions or a wicker finish can be had at this price point.

My favorite is the Goplus set as it lightweight, has the look of wicker, and holds the most weight for you and your guests. I did not know you could get wicker furniture at this price.

If you want to spend a little more, I have some selections of conversation sets at under $500 in a post here.

  1. The Better Homes and Gardens Fairwater Conversation Set looks great! I like the fact that it has the thick cushions. They look very comfortable. Also love the powder coating for the metal frame. The only concern I would have is with the water on the glass table top after a rain. If you don’t remove it, would the water stain or cause mildew? John, out of the four patio conversation sets, is there one you like the best?

    All the best to you,
    Don

    • Don,
      I like the Clayton Court set the best. It has cushions that can be replaced and other items in the collection that matches this design.
      Yes you will have some problems with water stains on the solid top tables. Not much you can do except to cover them when it gets wet outside or clean as soon as the sun shines.

  2. Wow, I didn’t realize you can buy a really nice looking patio set for under $300. Even better the wicker set is only $100. These sets look really nice and are super affordable. I think I would prefer the Better Homes and Gardens Fairwater set. I like the neutral colors. Do you know if they charge for shipping? Thanks for sharing your reviews on these patio sets. I am glad I found your site, I will look around and see what other ideas you have.

      Some items from Walmart.com will come with free shipping. Weight and size does have something to do with it. You will have to visit their page to see what items will require a shipping fee.

      There are lots of things for your outdoor space that will not break the bank. Having something that does not cost a lot and will be comfortable for an extended period of time is the hard part of finding things for your outdoor room.
