roomephantView outdoor furniture on your patio or balcony before you buy
An AR button shows the item through your phone's camera, so you have to be out on the patio holding the phone. A photo works from anywhere. Take one picture of the patio, deck or balcony, paste the link to the outdoor set, and you'll see that exact set in it at the size the store lists. It runs in Safari or Chrome on an iPhone, on Android and on a computer.
How to use it
- Paste the link to the set. Wayfair, IKEA and Amazon listings fill in the size on their own. From other stores, add a photo of the set and type its width, depth and height.
- Add a photo of the space. Stand in the doorway at chest height with the floor and the railing or a wall in the frame. A door or a railing gives the scale.
- Tap where the set will stand. Download the picture or send a link.
Outside, most questions are about clearance
Can the chairs pull out from the table? Is there still a way to the door? Leave about 3 ft (90 cm) behind dining chairs where people walk past and 2 ft (60 cm) for a path. On a balcony, check that the door still opens all the way with the set in place.
On an iPhone, without the store's app
You don’t need the store’s app or an AR-capable phone. Open roomephant.com in Safari, take a photo or pick one from your library, and paste the link from the store’s website. The photo stays on your phone, so you can try other sets later from the sofa indoors.
Frequently asked
Does it work on a balcony or a deck?
Yes. A door or a railing in the frame gives the scale. An open lawn with nothing of known size gives a rougher result.
Can I try a whole dining set?
Most outdoor sets are sold as one listing with the table and chairs together, so the whole set goes in as one product.
Do I need the Wayfair or Amazon app?
No. Paste the link from the store's website.
Is it free?
Yes. No signup, no card. Free use is capped per hour and per day.
How accurate is it?
The set is drawn at the listed size and the scale comes from your photo, so it's an estimate. Check the space with a tape measure before you order.
