Promising review: "I can't put into words how satisfied I am with the purchase. My children and I absolutely love it." —Lidia

Price: $18.99+ (available in four colors)

Price: $109.99+ (also available in blue)

Promising review: "Nice, basic feeder. I like this feeder because it does hold a lot of seed, and the birds seem to like it, too. It also allows me to add mealworms to their regular seed, where especially the cardinals love it!!" —Beverly

Promising review: "These border fences are wonderful, and the design really complements my garden. They are sturdy and of good quality. We have rabbits that eat the lilies before they bloom. I put these borders around all the garden beds, and I'm happy to say that this year we will be able to see and enjoy the lilies." —Lynnette

Price: $5.97 (also available in larger pack sizes)

Promising review: "This product is the best. Feels like I have my own cabana, like I do when I go to Vegas. You can adjust the water pressure for how high or low you want the mist. I would totally recommend this mister to anyone interested!" —Leslie

Promising review: "I have been enjoying movies outside with this portable screen. Easy to set up and provides a great experience!" —Nonickname

Price: $129.95 (also available in a 100-inch version)

Promising review: "This product is perfect for the backyard movie theater. Picture quality is excellent, but you need to have an external sound system. We have a 100-inch screen, and it makes our yard look and feel like a place to unwind. Easy setup and works great with Fire TV Stick!" —Schradio

This trampoline has a 700 lb weight capacity.

Promising review: "Was easy to assemble (it took less time than the manual said). The instructions were written clearly and humorously, making that fun and enjoyable. We have many users (including our children and neighbors), and it's doing well!" —Tovia

Promising review: "Bang for your buck — it's great. Solid build, easy assembly. The chains aren't as heavy as more expensive catchers, but they seem to work. They are put together more like a net with cross pieces, but they seem fine to me. It tipped over in a heavy gust of wind. Probably 30 mph. It would be easy to secure the base with a tent stake or something similar. Right now, I put a block on it, and it stays upright." —Mike

Promising review: "This carpet that is going on my deck is very well made — nice heavy weight, well-bound edges. The pattern is neutral but has a stylish appearance. Looks like a quality rug rather than the usual plastic-looking mats." —WordDreams

Price: $58.85+ (available in six sizes and four colors/patterns)

Promising review: "Very easy to put together and very durable. I can't wait to see what my new garden has for me!" —April

Promising review: “This was the perfect size for my small backyard patio. It is amazing what a difference this has made to our backyard, we love it!” —Frederica

Promising review: “Bose is the best brand for speakers. I have one and bought this for my son for Christmas. He loves it. The sound is rich and deep. Definitely worth the money.” —Celestina

Promising review: “The Beautiful Blender works great. I was nervous that smoothies wouldn't turn out as well as frozen cocktails, but everything has turned out perfectly with the correct consistency. I especially like that each setting has a built-in timer, so when you choose 'smoothie,' for example, you don't have to watch it and turn it off when you think it is done. The internal timer turns off the blender when it's done.” —Alex

Price: $98.84 (available in four colors)

Promising review: “I love them. They are squishy and are made of nice material for the outside. Great for laying your head on your lounge chair or putting behind your back in a chair. You can't beat the price for this being a 2-pack. Believe me, I'm an online shopper! I'm happy with them, and I'm sure you will be too!” —DonnabfromAz

Price: $29.99+ (available in 46 colors/patterns)

Promising review: “Really love this fountain. Not too big and not so small. It looks more expensive than what it costs. The setup/assembly took 10 minutes. The sound from it is just wonderful. I recommend this fountain and I'm so glad I bought it.” —GianC

Promising review: "Love these! Great addition to the deck!" —Macatlanta

Promising review: "I love it. So much better and easier to clean up than the old grate-style grill. We used it for July 4 nd it was great. The next day, I cleaned it well and cooked a pack of bacon. It turned out very nice. I plan to use it if we have a power outage in the future." —Betty

Promising review: "Over the years I’ve had/purchased at least four umbrellas for this small bistro table — and this is the best one yet!!! A few were taken by the wind or faded, or the fabric was thin and then tore. This fabric is thick to the touch, and the sturdy spokes keep it in place—and make it stand almost majestically! I will be purchasing a 9-footer for another dinette umbrella on the deck. This dark gray is a 7-footer. You won’t be disappointed with your purchase!!!" —Anonymous

Price: $29.99+ (originally $73.99; available in dozens of colors)

Promising review: "I bought these because I have a wooded area on one side of my house and wanted to make it more 'pretty'. These did the trick! They are absolutely beautiful, and the best part is that they come back each year. These also attract hummingbirds and are great for the bees! I plan to purchase a couple more packs and put them elsewhere around the yard, too." —Krista

Promising review: "HIGHLY RECOMMEND. BEAUTIFUL! This table is beautifully made! I love that it can be made to fit more people if needed. I highly recommend this product. It looks fabulous on our patio." —Anonymous

Promising review: "Lasted two years with continuous use all seasons except for winter. Well worth the money. Just purchased my second one. My only complaint is the included cover does not prevent rain from getting through." —Laurena 

Promising review: “I absolutely love this swing set and so does my two-year-old granddaughter, that I purchased it for. It took a while to assemble it, but it was worth the wait. It is very sturdy and will be a swing set that my granddaughter and her friends can play on as long as they want. very durable.” —rbyrd1000 

Promising review: "Beautiful!! Looks great on my deck! Nice fabric and colors are perfect for outdoors." —Corkey

It comes with two nautical-grade carabiners and two ready-to-hang 5-foot hammock straps for easy setup.

Promising review: "Love the chic look. It complements my patio nicely as a middle table for two patio chairs. I can't wait to WOW my guests with the cooler feature." —yevonne

Price: $79.49+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "This is a very pretty set. Perfect size for our small deck. We were very pleased and surprised with the quality and appearance of this set. I am delighted. My husband is amazed at how gorgeous it looks and at the quality of the materials. I would recommend it to anyone with a deck of our size, 12 x 13, with a grill. Looking forward to once again sitting out there enjoying the birds, the sun, and the air. I was able to put it together by myself. It is lightweight but sturdy. Love the color! (red) A great set for the money, looks like a more expensive set. Really lovely!" —Helen

Price: $160.19+ (originally $289+; available in four colors)

Promising review: "Love this ice chest. It's easy to move around, convenient, and I love the look. It works great for outdoor dinners and get-togethers. Also great indoors when you need that extra space for your drinks." —Ruth
