Yardbird showrooms bring to life the possibilities for outdoor living and entertaining spaces by offering selections of sectional sofas, dining sets, lounge chaises, fire tables, umbrellas, accessories and more. In-house designers can also help customers decide on which furniture options are best.

Best Buy acquired Yardbird in 2021 to give customers even more options as they’re upgrading their outdoor spaces.

“We love showing customers what Yardbird is all about. By nearly doubling the number of showrooms, we’re able to showcase exactly what sets us apart from other outdoor furniture companies,” said Jay Dillon, co-founder of Yardbird. “We are excited to grow the Yardbird brand and reach more people who are looking for high-quality products for their home.”

“Yardbird is the perfect addition to Best Buy, especially for customers who are already coming to us to improve their outdoor living spaces,” said Blake Hampton, category officer at Best Buy. “We’re thrilled to introduce Yardbird to these new cities and offer more customers a place to come see the latest in outdoor furniture and get expert advice while they shop.”

Unlike many other outdoor furniture retailers, Yardbird makes its products with the environment in mind. Plastic that would have otherwise ended up in the ocean is used in select furniture pieces. Yardbird also partners with carbonfund.org to offset its carbon footprint, reduces the amount of packaging materials and uses recyclable packing materials whenever possible.

Today, Yardbird furniture is available on Yardbird.com at its 14 existing showrooms across the country, on BestBuy.com and at more than 50 Best Buy stores across the country including its Experience Stores.
