    Outdoor Tables for Lounge and Entertaining Spaces

    Outdoor coffee and side tables complete outdoor lounge settings, offering practical surfaces for entertaining and everyday use. Our collection includes outdoor tables designed to pair naturally with sofas, armchairs, and outdoor living furniture, supporting relaxed use across a range of settings.

    Crafted from quality materials suited to New Zealand conditions, each piece is chosen for durability, stability, and weather resistance. Whether placed on a deck, patio, or courtyard, these outdoor coffee tables and outdoor side tables balance practical performance with considered design for outdoor living.

    Choosing the Right Table Height

    Getting the height right is what makes a coffee or side table feel effortless to use. As a general guide, an outdoor coffee table works best sitting close to the height of your sofa or lounge seat cushions, so drinks and books are easy to reach without leaning down. A side table is usually a little taller, sitting near the height of the arm of the chair or sofa it sits beside, so it is comfortable to reach from a seated position. If you are pairing a table with a particular sofa or chair, it is always worth checking the seat and arm height before choosing, and our team is happy to help you find the right proportion for your setting.

    Materials Made for the Outdoors

    Our coffee and side tables span a range of materials, each bringing a different look and feel to a lounge.

    Solid Teak

    Offering natural warmth and a honey tone that softens to a silver-grey patina over time. We use A-grade Indonesian teak, rich in the natural oils that help it resist weathering, for a table that ages beautifully outdoors.

    Timber and Metal

    Pairing a warm timber top with a slim powder-coated frame, combining natural character with a lighter, more contemporary look.

    Powder-Coated Aluminium

    Perfect for keeping a table light and easy to move, with clean, contemporary lines. It is naturally rust-resistant, which makes it especially well suited to coastal and exposed sites, and needs very little upkeep.

    Stone and Concrete

    Offering a bolder, more architectural presence. Our concrete designs are made from glass-fibre reinforced concrete, which keeps them strong and more manageable than solid concrete, while porcelain and stone-look tops offer a hard-wearing, easy-care surface.

    Rope and Weave

    A great choice to add a softer, more tactile feel, bringing texture and a relaxed look to an outdoor living space.

    Moulded Designs

    Hard-wearing polymer bring a sculptural, contemporary look with an easy-care finish, a practical choice for a relaxed outdoor space.

    Coffee Tables, Side Tables and Nesting Designs

    Common Questions About Outdoor Coffee & Side Tables

    How high should an outdoor coffee table be?

    As a general guide, an outdoor coffee table works best sitting close to the height of your sofa or lounge seat cushions. This keeps drinks, books and platters easy to reach from a seated position without leaning down. If a table sits much higher or lower than the seat, it can feel awkward to use, so it is worth checking your sofa's seat height before choosing.

    What is the difference between a coffee table and a side table?

    A coffee table is lower and larger, designed to sit at the centre of a seating group as a shared surface. A side table is smaller and usually a little taller, designed to sit beside a single chair or at the end of a sofa, close to hand for a drink or a book. Many lounges use both, with a coffee table anchoring the centre and side tables filling in beside the seating.

    What size outdoor coffee table do I need?

    A good starting point is to choose a coffee table around two-thirds the length of the sofa it sits in front of, leaving enough space to move around it comfortably. As a general guide, allow around 30 to 45 centimetres between the sofa and the coffee table, close enough to reach easily without crowding the space. Measure your seating area first, and consider a smaller or round table for compact spaces.

    What is the best material for an outdoor coffee or side table?

    The best material depends on the look you want and how exposed your space is. Teak brings natural warmth and ages beautifully. Powder-coated aluminium is light, rust-resistant and low-maintenance, which suits coastal sites. Glass-fibre reinforced concrete and stone-look tops are hard-wearing and add an architectural feel. Woven and mixed-material designs bring texture. Each performs well in the New Zealand climate.

    Can I buy a matching coffee table and side table?

    Yes. Many of our designs come as both a coffee table and a matching side table, so you can style them together for a cohesive look. Each piece is sold individually, which means you can choose one or both, or mix designs across your lounge. Our team can help you pair pieces that work well together.

    What is a nesting table?

    A nesting table is a set of two tables where a smaller table tucks neatly under a larger one, so you can pull it out for extra surface when you need it and slide it away to save space when you do not. Our Jati Kebon Burford is available as a nesting design in both round and square, a flexible choice for spaces that need to adapt.

    Can outdoor tables be left outside all year?

    In most cases, yes. Teak, powder-coated aluminium, glass-fibre reinforced concrete and stone-look tops are all made to stay outdoors year-round. A regular clean helps prevent dirt and grime settling in, and in exposed or coastal spots, a little extra care goes a long way. For the full care routine by material, see our outdoor furniture care guide.
