Outdoor Dining Furniture

Wicker Outdoor Dining Set: Wicker outdoor furniture is very popular. Wicker chairs have natural fibers whose strands are spun very tightly to give them an elegant look and finish. Some of these wicker tables and chairs are powder coated with aluminum stands and painted with vinyl so that they do not rot. These chairs because of their structure are comfortable, and resilient to heat. These wicker patio dining sets could be an elegant touch to the setting of a house, often suiting family gatherings.

Aluminum Outdoor Dining Set: Perfect for small patios and decks, our all-weather dining set provides a place to dine outdoors without taking up much space. The 3 piece bistro set, with one table and two chairs, is ideal for a couple. The 4 piece dining set and the 5 piece models are more common and suit a family dinner. Each patio chair features heavy-duty aluminum frames. The stackable design makes it easy to move around and transfer in & out of storage. The slat-top table brings the entire set together, flaunting clean lines & a modern white finish.

Things You Should Consider To Buy The Best Outdoor Dining Furniture

• How Many People

The first thing you need to consider is how many people you are planning on entertaining. Do you just want to be able to have a couple of friends over? Or do you really want to go all out entertaining? This is going to determine the size of an outdoor dining set you get or if you need multiples.

Now, if you are usually only going to have a couple people over and periodically have a large group, you may just want to rent tables for those larger gatherings. But if you want to regularly have a lot of friends over, you need to look into large tables or even a number of tables that will seat everyone.

• Size and Space

Now you need to look at the space you have available in your yard. While we all like to imagine the perfect space, you have to work around the real space that you have. It is vital to make sure that the space you have will comfortably fit the furniture you want. Remember you have to not only get around the furniture, but you have to get around it while people are sitting in the chairs. Make sure there is enough room to be comfortable and still move comfortably.

• Weather

Another thing to think of is weather considerations. Since this is outdoor dining furniture, it will have to be able to handle the elements. This can mean different things in different regions. In some areas that means humidity is a major threat. In others it's dry weather. In still others it's wind. Think about the weather where you live. You need to look for furniture that was made to put up with that type of climate and that can even thrive in it.

• Material

The best material for outdoor dining furniture should be durable, weather-resistant, and easy to maintain. Common materials for outdoor dining furniture include aluminum, wrought iron, teak, resin wicker, and steel. Aluminum is lightweight, rust-resistant, and easy to maintain. Wrought iron is durable, strong, and sturdy but requires maintenance to prevent rusting. Teak is weather-resistant, naturally resistant to decay and insects, but is more expensive. Resin wicker is weather-resistant, lightweight, and low-maintenance, but may not be as durable as other materials. Steel is strong, durable, and budget-friendly but may rust if not maintained properly.

• Price

Consider your budget when selecting an outdoor dining set. Look for a quality set that fits your budget and offers value for your money. In general, you can expect to pay around $500-$1,500 for a quality outdoor dining set that will last for several years with proper maintenance. However, prices can go much higher depending on the complexity of the design, the size of the set, and the quality of the materials used.
