Frequently Asked Questions
What size outdoor dining table should I choose?
Allow 24 inches of table width per person for comfortable dining. A 60-inch round or square table seats 4-6 people, while a 72-inch rectangular table seats 6-8. For larger gatherings, consider 84-96 inch tables that seat 8-10. Measure your patio or deck, leaving at least 36-48 inches of clearance around the table for chairs to pull out and traffic flow. Consider extendable tables for flexibility when entertaining larger groups.
What materials work best for outdoor dining tables?
Teak offers natural beauty, durability, and weather resistance that ages gracefully to silver-gray or maintains honey tones with oil. Powder-coated aluminum provides lightweight, rust-resistant modern style. All-weather wicker delivers texture and coastal appeal with UV resistance. Concrete creates substantial contemporary style with natural weathering. Sealed wood offers warmth with protective finishes. Choose materials that coordinate with your outdoor seating and outdoor furniture.
Are outdoor dining tables weather-resistant?
Yes! Our outdoor dining tables are specifically designed for exterior use with materials that resist UV fading, withstand rain and moisture, and handle temperature fluctuations. Frames and tops feature powder-coated metals, teak, weather-resistant finishes, or sealed surfaces. Drainage holes in some designs prevent water pooling. While durable, we recommend covering tables during extreme weather or storing them during harsh winters for extended longevity.
What shapes of outdoor dining tables are available?
Rectangular tables are most versatile and traditional, seating the most people and fitting well against walls or in long spaces. Round tables encourage conversation and work beautifully in square patios or intimate settings. Square tables suit smaller spaces and create symmetrical arrangements. Oval tables offer the seating capacity of rectangular with softer edges. Bistro tables (small rounds or squares) are perfect for balconies or cozy corners.
How do I style an outdoor dining table?
Create centerpieces with weather-resistant elements from our outdoor tabletop accents collection—use trays with candles, lanterns, or vases with fresh or faux florals. Add planters as living centerpieces. Use outdoor-safe placemats, melamine dinnerware, and acrylic glassware. For evening dining, incorporate string lights or lanterns. Keep centerpieces low (under 12 inches) so guests can see each other across the table.
How do I maintain outdoor dining 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. For metal, wipe down after rain to prevent water spots. For wicker, brush debris and hose down periodically. Cover when not in use to protect from debris and UV exposure. Before winter storage, clean thoroughly and ensure completely dry. Tighten bolts and screws seasonally to maintain stability.
