Frequently Asked Questions
What materials work best for outdoor coffee tables?
Powder-coated aluminum offers lightweight durability and rust resistance in modern finishes. Teak provides natural beauty and weather resistance that ages gracefully. All-weather wicker delivers texture and coastal appeal with UV and moisture resistance. Concrete creates substantial, contemporary style with natural weathering. Sealed wood offers warmth with protective finishes. Metal and glass combinations provide sleek, modern aesthetics. Choose materials that coordinate with your outdoor seating and outdoor furniture style.
What size outdoor coffee table should I choose?
Your outdoor coffee table should be roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa or sectional. Standard coffee tables are 16-18 inches tall, allowing comfortable reach from seated positions. Leave 14-18 inches between the table and seating for legroom and traffic flow. For large sectionals, consider oversized tables (48+ inches) or multiple smaller tables. Measure your space and outdoor sofa before purchasing to ensure proper proportions.
Are outdoor coffee tables weather-resistant?
Yes! Our outdoor coffee tables are specifically designed for exterior use with materials that resist UV fading, withstand rain and moisture, and handle temperature fluctuations. Frames feature powder-coated metals, teak, or weather-resistant finishes. Tabletops are sealed, treated, or made from inherently weather-resistant materials. While durable, we recommend covering tables during extreme weather or storing them during harsh winters for extended longevity.
What shapes of outdoor coffee tables are available?
Our collection includes rectangular tables (most versatile and traditional), square tables (perfect for symmetrical seating arrangements), round tables (great for conversation and traffic flow), oval tables (softer alternative to rectangular), and nesting tables (flexible, space-saving options). Choose shapes that complement your seating arrangement and fit your patio or deck dimensions. Round and oval tables work well in smaller spaces.
How do I style an outdoor coffee table?
Use the rule of three—group items in odd numbers for visual interest. Add a decorative tray to corral smaller items, a vase with fresh or faux florals, and a decorative bowl or lantern from our outdoor tabletop accents collection. Include candles for ambiance, a small planter, or coffee table books in weatherproof covers. Leave some surface clear for drinks and snacks. Coordinate colors with your outdoor pillows.
How do I maintain outdoor coffee tables?
Clean regularly with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. For teak, oil annually to maintain color or let it weather naturally to silver-gray. For metal, wipe down to prevent water spots and check for rust. For wicker, brush debris from crevices and hose down periodically. Cover when not in use or during extended periods. Before winter storage, clean thoroughly and ensure completely dry. Proper maintenance extends the life of your outdoor coffee table significantly.
