How do you choose outdoor tables and chairs?

Choosing a garden table and chairs depends first and foremost on the space available. In a small outdoor area such as a balcony or other compact spaces, opt for round garden tables or a compact rectangular garden table, which can seat a few guests whilst making the most of the space. For a large terrace, wider garden tables and complete garden furniture sets are ideal for sharing meals with family or friends.

Factors to consider include the intended use (everyday meals, entertaining, relaxation) and the number of seats required. The dimensions, shapes (round table, rectangular table), as well as the style and design, should suit your lifestyle and complement the rest of your garden furniture.

When it comes to materials, exotic wood or teak offer a natural, warm charm, but require more maintenance to withstand the elements. Aluminium and metal offer advantages in terms of lightness, strength and durability, whilst steel or modern resins are suitable for outdoor spaces exposed to sun and damp.

There are many different styles and types of garden furniture to suit outdoor spaces. The key is to choose sturdy, high-quality furniture that will be perfectly suited to your intended use, whether it’s a small terrace or a large landscaped garden.

In summary, assess your space, work out how many seats you need, then choose garden tables and seating that combine style, practicality and durability so you can make the most of the warmer months.
