Outdoor Dining Tables

Is there anything more delightful than enjoying a meal on outdoor dining chairs. As soon as the weather is right, we want to spend every spare minute of our time basking in the sunlight and breathing fresh air. So, make sure your outdoor space is prepped and ready with the perfect setup. Whether you’re hosting friends, family or just yourself, you’ll want to consider these key tips when purchasing an outdoor dining table.

How Big Is Your Outdoor Space?
It’s time to bust out the measuring tapebecause finding the right size table for your space is extremely important. Select a style that’s not too big, not too small and allows traffic to flow freely around it on all sides. If you’re working with a small patio or yard, consider 3-pc. patio dining sets or a bistro table and two outdoor dining chairs. These are perfect for sunrise coffees on a small balcony. You’ll also want to stick to round dining tables for smaller spaces because they tend to fit easier than square or rectangle dining tables.

What’s Your Personal Style?
You can easily express your personal style depending on the type of outdoor dining furniture you choose. Opt for traditionalism with a simple wooden picnic table or channel a more modern vibe with a sleek glass top style with metal legs and an easy-to-clean surface.

Where Will Your Patio Furniture Go?
Another key consideration to keep in mind is where you’ll ultimately place your patio furniture. Will your patio dining table be under an awning or exposed to the elements? Covered outdoor dining tables can be made from practically any material, but those that will be exposed to rain and direct sunlight should be made from metal that won’t rust, teak or wood that has been treated to help it withstand the elements. Remember to store upholstered seat cushions when possible to keep them safe from mildew and mold.

How Much Storage Space Do You Have?
You may have the biggest backyard in the world, but you need to keep in mind how much storage space you have. As soon as the colder weather rolls around, you’ll need to move your outdoor dining table and chairs indoors or somewhere where they’re protected so you can ensure your investment lasts as long as possible.

How Will You Decorate Your Space?
Once you’ve picked the perfect table, it’s time to get creative! Put the finishing touches on your outdoor dining area with fun extras like glittery string lights that set the mood, colorful melamine tableware and maybe a cozy outdoor fire pit for roasting marshmallows after dinner.
