Grant Hollis

Patio Furniture Researcher & Outdoor Living Writer

I'm a longtime homeowner who's spent the better part of two decades outfitting my own backyard and helping friends navigate the overwhelming patio furniture market. After a career in product logistics, I pivoted to writing about outdoor living—testing everything from budget Costway sets to premium Pottery Barn collections in real-world conditions. My garage has become part showroom, part testing lab. When I'm not researching durability and assembly headaches, I'm hosting weekend gatherings on whatever furniture I'm currently evaluating, or tinkering with my pergola setup. I believe honest, detailed reviews save people time and money.
