11 Target Outdoor Finds That Look Like Pottery Barn for Less

Pottery Barn’s outdoor furniture catalog is a fantasy exercise for most people—you open it, fall in love with the solid wood sectionals and rope-woven loveseats, note the astronomical price tags, and walk away empty handed. What fewer people realize is that Target has been quietly stocking similar aesthetics at a fraction of the price, through brands like Costway and Christopher Knight Home.

This roundup covers the full range of what a patio, deck, or backyard might need: bistro sets for small spaces, modular sectionals for larger ones, a cushioned papasan set for anyone who wants something truly unexpected outdoors, and a Studio McGee planter that looks like it belongs in a Pottery Barn photo shoot.
