The $180 Walmart Patio Haul That Looks Like Pottery Barn
It’s that time of year when you want to get your backyard into top shape for cookouts and campfires. But what if you’re on a budget?
You can still outfit your patio to look like it’s straight off the Pottery Barn Pinterest boards without going broke. Walmart has many items that look just as good as Pottery Barn favorites for a lot less. We found six items costing around $178 in total. A similar haul would cost at least $1,205 at Pottery Barn.

Adirondack Chairs
Walmart: $75
Pottery Barn: $500 and up
When it comes to backyard chairs, you don’t want to put your guests in plastic that looks cheap. But you don’t have to splurge on real wood, either. These LOYALICE folding Adirondack chairs with dual cupholders are constructed from all-weather, high-density polyethylene that looks as classy as wood and holds up better.
Black Metal Outdoor Lantern
Walmart: $20 (for two)
Pottery Barn: $39 (for 10.25-inch model)
Add a rustic touch to your patio table, pool deck or gazebo with this set of two black candle holders measuring 10 and 11.5 inches high. Designed to hold either wax candles or LED flameless candles, they add a cozy ambiance to your outdoor space. Get two candles, instead of just one, for half of the price of Pottery Barn’s bestselling Malta Outdoor Lantern.
Stainless Steel Ice Bucket
Walmart: $19.47
Pottery Barn: $89
Elevate your outdoor bar with a stainless steel ice bucket with a shiny gold finish that looks way more expensive than it costs. The Walmart version of Pottery Barn’s Emerson ice bucket costs under $20, seals tight with a fitted lid and is almost double the size of the Pottery Barn model.
Melamine Dinner Plates
Walmart: $24
Pottery Barn: $58
When you don’t want to use paper plates but don’t want to carry heavy dishes outside, either, melamine plates are the perfect compromise for al fresco dining. Walmart and Pottery Barn both have so many cute styles. Depending on your choice of designs, you’ll spend 50% to 75% less at Walmart. We fell in love with these Lake melamine dinner plates from Walmart; they’re as cute and whimsical as Pottery Barn’s Puebla collection, which is more than double the price.
Outdoor Rug
Walmart: $17.59
Pottery Barn: $319
An outdoor rug helps tie your whole patio space together. This 5-by-8-foot VUNATE outdoor rug is reversible and features a modern gray and white abstract design. The heat-treated edge prevents fraying while the material is waterproof, durable, soft and easy to clean. Best of all, it costs a full $300 less than a similar rug from Pottery Barn.
Outdoor LED String Lights
Walmart: $20 (50 feet)
Pottery Barn: $200
It’s not a party in the summer of 2026 until someone plugs in the Edison-style LED lights. Hang them around your patio or on the fence to add a cool retro vibe to your outdoor space. These bestselling PHOPOLLO lights from Walmart.com cost 10 times less than a similar 48-foot LED light string from Pottery Barn.
