The best tips for choosing designer and high-quality outdoor tables

When the winter days are behind us and it starts to get warm, there is nothing better than gathering around a large, high-quality designer outdoor table to eat, celebrate a party or simply spend time with the family outdoors. . However, the purchase of high-quality designer outdoor tables must be done judiciously if the furniture is to last in good condition for more than a couple of seasons. Below, we summarize the best tips to ensure you invest in a designer and high-quality outdoor table perfect for your home.

1. Choose a weather resistant table material

The material with which the designer and high-quality outdoor tables are made defines much more than the aesthetics of the furniture. In today's outdoor furniture manufacturing market, there are various materials that offer unique levels of durability and resistance over time. Each of the materials chosen to manufacture high-quality designer outdoor tables have advantages and disadvantages that must be weighed in order to choose the one that best suits the particular characteristics of each place. Wooden tables are the most traditional because they are attractive and robust. If you don't want to risk too much, high-quality designer outdoor tables made of wood are a sure bet, but you have to make sure they are finished or sealed to cope with humid climates. Otherwise, the wood will start to decay after prolonged exposure. On the other hand, designer and high-quality outdoor tables made of metal are also quite popular because, together with wooden tables, they are one of the most durable options. It should be noted that they are also quite heavy than other types of tables, making them ideal for locations where there are usually strong gusts of wind. However, it must not be forgotten that certain metals, such as iron, end up oxidizing over time, especially if adequate protection is not applied using a specific metal coating. There is also a wide variety of designer and high-quality outdoor tables in materials such as plastic or PVC that, in addition to being lightweight, require little maintenance and are economical. As a negative point, it is highlighted that they can get moldy in humid climates. Finally, there are high-quality designer outdoor tables made of wicker or rattan that provide an informal touch and combine well with rustic decoration styles. Like plastic and PVC, wicker can also get moldy. For this reason, when choosing designer and high-quality outdoor tables, you must know very well what type of climate the furniture is going to be exposed to and choose based on that. Even if the table is more expensive at first, in the end you will save money by not having to replace it every summer.

2. Measure the size and shape of the patio or garden before buying

Before buying designer and high-quality outdoor tables, you should carefully measure the length and width of the place where the table and chairs set is going to be placed. Ideally, the table should leave enough space for the chairs and a passage area around it. For comfort, it is recommended to leave 90 to 100 centimeters of free space on each side of the table. For example, if a patio is 3,5 meters long by 2,5 meters wide, the ideal table should have maximum dimensions of 1,8 meters long by 0,6 meters wide so that it looks good and also allow diners to sit comfortably. On the other hand, if you want to leave space in the patio or garden for other furniture, then you will have to reduce the size of the table to ensure that each piece of furniture has around 90 centimeters of free space. In addition to size, one must consider which shape is best for the available space. High-quality design outdoor tables with round and square shapes give a more informal air and take up less space than rectangular or oval ones that require more meters to accommodate many more people. Bistro, cafeteria and bar tables are even smaller, making them perfect for two people on small patios and balconies.

3. Make sure everyone can fit on the table

For summer parties and outdoor dinners, it is advisable to buy designer and high-quality outdoor tables with enough dimensions so that the whole family and a few guests can sit. As a general rule, each person should have an average of 50-60 centimeters plus an additional 15-30 centimeters to have freedom of movement. In the case of square tables one meter on each side, four people can sit comfortably, as can a round one one meter in diameter. For rectangular tables that are 1,5 meters long, six people can sit, while those that are 1,8 meters long can seat eight.

4. Choose comfortable and durable chairs

Many designer and high-quality outdoor tables are sold in sets that include chairs, but there is also the possibility of choosing the seats separately that are more comfortable or choosing a more diverse aesthetic to create unique sets. The outdoor chairs can be made with the same materials as the tables. For optimal comfort, you should choose chairs with weather resistant cushions and make sure that the chairs are the right size for the table. High-quality, designer outdoor tables are usually about 30 inches high (standard dining room height), so chairs with seats about 18 inches off the ground work for most tables.

5. Choose table umbrellas

When high-quality, designer outdoor tables are purchased to be used primarily during the day, investing in shade-casting umbrellas should be considered, especially in areas where there are many hours of sun. Many designer and high quality outdoor tables are built with holes drilled in their tops to hold parasols. When selecting an umbrella, choose one with a canopy wide enough to shade the entire table. Finally, you must also make sure that the umbrella fabric is weather resistant.
