Fill your outdoor space with tables and chairs that can seat a crowd. Choose traditional patio dining sets which seat 4-6, or opt for an 8-seat table for larger gatherings.
Opt for wood patio tables for a classic feel, while metal is ideal for contemporary spaces. Teak furniture is also an attractive outdoor furniture choice that won’t break the bank!
Tables
Tables are the centerpiece of any outdoor dining area. Their beauty, durability and versatility should allow it to serve various functions seamlessly – be it hosting an intimate get-together or simply lounging in solitude – making your backyard retreat comfortable and stylish at the same time.
When selecting the appropriate patio table size, keep your seating needs in mind. A table that’s too big will look cramped and bulky while one that’s too small won’t provide adequate seating space for family and friends. Many outdoor tables include chairs that can be removed for additional flexibility in seating arrangements.
Selecting the optimal material for your patio dining table is also of utmost importance. Synthetic resin, for instance, is an aesthetically pleasing yet highly durable choice that’s easy to care for – its mold resistance also keeps it looking its best over time! Wood such as teak can offer beauty as well as durability but requires more upkeep.
A patio table should fit seamlessly with your existing decor and complement the colors of your outdoor furniture, from metal chairs and benches to bright white outdoor tables. Black tables look especially stylish against metal chairs while white outdoor tables add brightness to the space. Other neutral and vibrant options for patio tables such as gray and off-white shades work with almost all outdoor furnishings while vibrant hues like yellow, blue or red are great additions as well.
Add an extra touch of class and flair to your backyard by selecting a table with an umbrella hole that can accept standard outdoor patio umbrellas. An umbrella not only protects diners from direct sunlight but can also serve as an aesthetically pleasing cover for string lights that create mood lighting effects.
Make an idyllic summer picnic spot under the trees even cozier by setting out a poly picnic table set. These versatile tables make an excellent accompaniment to poly porch glider sets, and can even be combined with various length benches for additional seating flexibility.
Outdoor patio tables also come equipped with other fun features, like drink holders, swivel chairs and an ice chest. A built-in beverage holder keeps beverages within easy reach while a swivel chair allows you to effortlessly shift from conversing with friends to admiring the garden view. An ice chest provides chilled beverages for parties you host; some tables even include an inbuilt ice pit that’s great for serving s’mores!

Powder-coated aluminum chairs are the strongest and easiest to care for outdoor chairs; their powder coating offers protection from rust while making cleaning simple with just water and sponge. Synthetic resin wicker chairs also come in lightweight models; High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resin is stronger than low quality PVC synthetic used by some manufacturers; teak is another excellent material choice as it resists mold and mildew; though require some upkeep as this wood lasts much longer than others.
Before selecting outdoor dining tables and chairs, take time to measure your space carefully. A general guideline suggests allocating 3 feet of space per chair and table, though this may differ depending on style and size (a 4-person table requires 10×10 feet, while 8-person tables may need 12×12).
Your choice of chairs can make or break your backyard experience. If you prefer modern decor, opt for outdoor lounge chairs such as swivel- or sling-style chairs with retractable canopy shades and sleek rattan armchairs; alternatively if hosting family gatherings opt for classic picnic table sets with attached benches and separate seats of various lengths to accommodate additional guests.
