Woven+ leans into texture with woven dining chairs and teak tables. Devon focuses on natural warmth, with teak dining tables and teak chairs finished with woven detailing. Jati Kebon pairs powder-coated aluminium frames with durable ceramic tops, while Fast contributes clean, contemporary aluminium designs. Portico brings a bolder, more architectural look, with square, sculptural designs in glass-fibre reinforced concrete.

Materials Built for Outdoor Dining

An outdoor dining setting has to handle everything from full sun to spilled drinks and the odd rain shower, so material matters. Each option in our range brings something different to the table.

Solid Teak

Teak is the hero timber of outdoor dining, with natural warmth and a honey tone that softens to a silver-grey patina over time. We use A-grade Indonesian teak, grown in sustainable planted forests and rich in the natural oils that help it resist splitting and weathering, for a dining table that ages beautifully and lives well outdoors.

Powder-Coated Aluminium

Powder-coated aluminium keeps dining tables and chairs light and easy to move, with clean lines and a naturally rust-resistant finish that suits coastal and exposed sites. It needs very little upkeep beyond an occasional wash.

Rope and Weave

Rope and woven dining chairs bring texture and a relaxed, considered feel, made from durable, UV-stable fibres that handle sun and rain while holding their colour and shape.

Weather-Resistant Outdoor Fabric

Ceramic and concrete tabletops are hard-wearing and easy to live with, standing up to heat, spills and everyday use. They bring a bold, grounded look to a dining setting and are a practical choice for a table that sees plenty of use.

Ceramic

Ceramic tabletops are hard-wearing, heat-resistant and easy to wipe clean, standing up to spills, sun and everyday use without fading or marking. Paired with a powder-coated aluminium frame, ceramic makes a practical, low-maintenance choice for a table that sees plenty of use.

Concrete

Concrete designs bring a bolder, more architectural presence to an outdoor setting. Our concrete pieces are made from glass-fibre reinforced concrete, which keeps them strong and more manageable than solid concrete while offering the same grounded, sculptural look. It is a striking choice for a dining table or bench that anchors a space.

Building Your Outdoor Dining Setting

A considered outdoor dining setting comes together the same way a good interior does, by starting with the space itself. Measure your area and think about how you want to use it, whether that is everyday family meals, weekend entertaining, or the occasional long lunch with a crowd. The setting matters too. A sunny, exposed deck or a sheltered courtyard will shape which materials suit best, from the natural warmth of teak to the light, rust-resistant ease of powder-coated aluminium.

From there, start with the table, since its size and shape set the tone for everything around it. As a guide, allow around 60 centimetres of table edge per person, and leave roughly 90 centimetres of clearance on all sides so chairs can be pulled out and people can move comfortably. Once the table is settled, add dining chairs to suit, and consider a bench along one side for flexible, casual seating. Because every piece is sold individually, you can mix and match tables, chairs and benches to build a setting that is genuinely your own. If you would like a hand planning it, our team is always happy to help.

Common Questions About Outdoor Dining Furniture

What size outdoor dining table do I need?

Choose a table sized for the number of people you seat most often, then check it fits your space with chairs pulled out. As a general guide, allow around 60 centimetres of table edge per person. That means a four-seat table is around 120 to 140 centimetres long, a six-seat table around 180 to 200 centimetres, and an eight-seat table around 220 to 260 centimetres. Round tables work a little differently, with a 110 centimetre round table seating four and a 150 centimetre round table seating six. Armchairs take up a little more room than side chairs, so factor that in if you prefer them, and always measure your space first.

How much space do I need for an outdoor dining table and chairs?

Leave around 90 centimetres of clearance on all sides of the table so chairs can be pulled out and people can move around comfortably. It helps to measure your whole dining area first, then account for the space chairs take up once they are pulled out, not just where the table sits. Marking it out on the ground before you buy is a simple way to check a setting will work in your space.

What is the best material for outdoor dining furniture?

The best material depends on how the setting will be used and the look you are after. Teak brings natural warmth and ages beautifully, and is rich in oils that resist weathering. Powder-coated aluminium is light, rust-resistant and low-maintenance, making it well suited to coastal sites. Ceramic and concrete tabletops are hard-wearing and easy to wipe clean, ideal for a table that sees plenty of everyday use. All-weather rope and weave add texture and comfort to dining chairs. Many settings combine materials, such as a teak or ceramic-topped table with woven or aluminium chairs.

Round or rectangular outdoor dining table, which is better?

Both work, and it comes down to your space and how you like to entertain. Round tables suit smaller or square spaces, encourage conversation as everyone sits an equal distance apart, and are easy to move around as there are no corners. Rectangular tables suit longer decks and larger groups, offer more surface for serving, and make the most of a linear space. Many homes choose based on the shape of the area and the number of people they seat most often.

What is a bistro table?

A bistro table is a small, cafe-style table at standard dining height, designed to seat two and pair with a couple of dining chairs. Bistro tables have a smaller footprint than a full dining table, which makes them ideal for balconies, courtyards, smaller decks, or a quiet corner for a morning coffee or a light meal. They are a lovely way to add a dining spot to a compact space without crowding it.

Can outdoor dining furniture stay outside all year?

In most cases, yes. Teak and powder-coated aluminium tables and chairs, along with ceramic and concrete tabletops, are made to stay outdoors year-round. Any seat cushions will last longer if they are covered during heavy weather or stored somewhere dry over winter, and a regular clean helps prevent dirt settling in. In exposed or coastal spots, a little extra care goes a long way

How do I care for outdoor dining furniture?

Care depends on the material. Teak can be cleaned with mild soapy water and a soft brush, and left to silver naturally or lightly sanded and treated to keep its golden colour. Powder-coated aluminium, ceramic and concrete need little more than an occasional wash, and weather-resistant cushions simply need a regular wipe down.
