Comparison: Best Discontinued Martha Stewart Patio Furniture (Updated | Nov 8th)

The 360° swivel chairs feature a wider seat and a plush, 4.5″ thick olefin cushion that offers a more lounge‑like feel, while the stackable chairs have slimmer profiles and thinner cushions designed for efficient storage. Swivel chairs take up more floor space and are ideal for relaxed conversation areas, whereas stackable chairs are perfect when you need to maximize seating capacity in a limited area.

Stackable armchairs and armless chairs (e.g., the indoor‑outdoor stackable patio armchairs and the standard stackable chairs) are the top choices because they can be piled up to eight high, minimizing footprint when not in use. Their lightweight aluminum or metal frames also make them easy to move, unlike the bulkier swivel chairs that are not designed for stacking.

Rattan wicker chairs use an all‑weather rust‑proof metal frame wrapped in synthetic rattan, offering a classic woven look that resists moisture but may show wear in extreme sun. The Lily Pond chairs combine an aluminum frame with a woven rattan back and seat, providing a lighter yet stronger structure that can support up to 400 lbs and resist corrosion better than steel‑based frames.

All the listed chairs and armchairs share a 300 lb static weight capacity, ensuring robust support for most users. The Lily Pond bistro chair stands out with a higher 400 lb capacity, while the patio tables, including the 71″ and 62″ models, are rated for 200 lb, suitable for typical dining setups but not for heavy equipment.

The 7‑piece set provides coordinated design, matching finishes, and a price advantage compared to purchasing each chair and table separately. It also simplifies assembly and ensures that the armchairs, side chairs, and table share the same protective floor glides and rust‑proof frames, which can be a hassle to match when mixing items.

Rattan wicker cushions are covered with removable, washable olefin fabric that can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and the cushion covers are designed to be taken off for deeper cleaning. The olefin cushions on the aluminum chairs are similarly low‑maintenance, but they often come with thicker padding that may resist stains better, requiring only occasional spot cleaning.

Armchairs add integrated armrests and a higher back, offering more support for long meals or lounging, while armless chairs provide a slimmer silhouette that can be stacked higher for storage efficiency. Generally, armchairs carry a modest price premium due to the added hardware and comfort features, but the price gap is small enough that the decision usually hinges on comfort preferences and space constraints.

Yes, the kids’ outdoor sofa uses a natural acacia wood frame and mission‑style lines that complement the rustic rattan and aluminum finishes of the adult chairs, creating a cohesive look across ages. Pairing the sofa with matching Martha Stewart kids’ chairs and an adult table can give the patio a unified aesthetic while providing appropriate seating for both children and adults.
