If you want to offer your visitors an excellent dining room, you need an external dining table that provides comfortable seating. Like all your outdoor furniture for your hotel, restaurant or resort, your patio dinner sets should be a reflection of the image you want to show. You can choose, depending on your outdoor space, from bistro-stylish tables and chairs to more traditional wooden details. Here are three main factors to consider before going to a manufacturer, supplier or outdoor store to buy patio tables.
- Material: Durable woods, metals such as teak, powder-coated aluminum and rattan, are a popular choice for outdoor dining furniture. Before choosing a suitable material, you need to consider three main factors: durability, convenience and versatility. While teak is more durable than other materials when exposed to sunlight and rain, wood is probably the most beautiful. On the other hand, rattan is the most comfortable because of its dense soft weaves. If your outdoor furniture sets are exposed to sunlight and rain, consider praising rattan furniture with a patio umbrella. Aluminum is more versatile due to its light, yet durable and different colors.
- The size: Although size is probably the most important aspect when buying outdoor tables, it is often overlooked. As a rule, the best patio dining sets fit into your open space without making it feel overcrowded. Your outdoor dining table should comfortably accommodate all your guests, while leaving plenty of room for walks through it. The width of your table should be at least 36 inches (91 cm) wide to make enough room for space settings, as well as for food.
The size of your outdoor dining areas will depend on your open space. As a rule, bistro-style suites (two chairs and one table) are ideal for small patios and decks. Therefore, if you want to create a small corner for relaxation, they can be an excellent option.
Round tables are also great for small areas. They fit into narrow spaces and do not have sharp corners. Lack of corners makes it suitable for more people. Pedestal outdoor tables are even better because they offer more legroom. If you have a large space in your garden or patio, go with a full rectangular outdoor dining table. Although a round table can be a space saver, the larger, the more difficult it is to get to mashed potatoes. - surface : Wooden countertops require the least amount of maintenance, as they can be easily cleaned with a small amount of mild soap. Metal tables, if left in the sun for a long time, can heat up quickly, so it’s best to keep them in a shaded area or under the umbrella of a patio. In the same way, glass tops are easy to clean and accentuate the garden, but their fragile nature means they are best used in indoor porches, patios, or decks. Moreover, they are weak in terms of elements, so they need to be moved indoors in cold seasons.
