How To Decide When To Buy Furniture
What Are Your Priorities While Shopping?
When patio furniture shopping, you might have one of the two following priorities:
- Finding the best deals and discounts possible
- Shopping from a large selection of trending designs
Depending on your priorities, you'll want to shop during different months. Be clear about your priorities when shopping.
For Blowout Prices and Clear-out Discounts
If you're looking to capitalize on seasonal discounts and holiday sales then this section is for you. You'll often be able to find great sets with incredible pricing. This allows you to create an outdoor oasis on a budget.
The cons of this method of shopping:
- Poor selection
- Crowded stores
Despite the cons, many shoppers still opt for seasonal shopping, so we've compiled a list of times to get shopping. If you're looking for a specific season to shop in, you'll want to shop in the fall. During this span, you'll find that outdoor rocking chairs and other patio furniture are on clearance. Businesses are trying to clean out their summer stock to make room for winter stock. This results in incredible savings on outdoor furniture.

If you decide to go this route, you'll want to start shopping early fall and keep your eye on sales for the next month or so. The consequence of shopping like this is you risk your set of choices selling out.
Another shopping option is to scour seasonal sales. These are the crowded sales that have intense crowds and significant savings. You might stand outside for hours for your outdoor rocking chair. If this doesn't worry you, then a seasonal holiday sale might be the perfect fit!

Boxing Day

Furniture Season
Aside from the long list of holidays above, there is another time to purchase furniture. The months prior to summer, usually after the New Year’s festivities, most shops decrease their prices. This decrease is due to businesses clearing out their old models not sold during the holiday season. Shops do what a “clearance sale” and sell their furniture sets even lower than what you’d get from a holiday sale.
Furniture brands typically release new designs during the summer months which adds another reason for them to the sale.
For Unlimited Quantities and Styles To Choose From
If saving money on your patio furniture isn't your top priority, but you'd prefer to have your pick of the crop, your shopping tips will differ. For example, you've saved up for your patio set for a long time, and you want it to match the perfect vision you have in your head.
We understand that, but we will recommend that you shop in a completely different time frame.

You'll want to begin the shopping process in early spring. This is so that you can have control out of all of the inventory on the market. Try out different styles and take your time to mull it over when you're at home. Furniture stores only bring in a limited amount of each piece. Because of this, the outdoor rocking chair that you love, you can guarantee that you'll go home with it (opposed to if you want until mid-summer or fall).
Some stores may host a pre-season sale to get some traction for their new product releases. Keep your eyes peeled for any upcoming events. You'll also be able to take advantage of seasonal sales such as Presidents Day Sale and Memorial Day Sale.
