Outdoor Dining Sets

An outdoor dining set solves the matching problem in one order: table and chairs from the same maker, in the same finish, sized to sit together. The sets here lean on teak from HiTeak, hand-woven all-weather wicker on aluminum frames from Lloyd Flanders, and aluminum and sling dining from Telescope Casual and Castelle. Seating runs from bistro sets for four to long tables for ten, and many of the sets built to order can be ordered with an umbrella hole in the tabletop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which material needs the least care?
Powder-coated aluminum and sling fabric: hose them off and they are done. Teak is the other low-care choice; left alone it weathers to silver grey, and an annual oiling keeps the honey tone if you prefer it. Wicker on aluminum needs only a rinse.
How much space does a dining set need?
Allow about 24 inches of table edge per person and 36 inches behind each chair to pull out and walk past. A set for six on a 72-inch table wants a patio roughly 10 by 12 feet.
Can the cushions stay out in the rain?
Sets with Sunbrella or other solution-dyed acrylic cushions can take rain and dry through; store them for the winter. Sling seats have no cushion to worry about.
Do the sets ship assembled?
Tables and chairs arrive with minimal assembly, usually attaching legs or feet. Each product page states what assembly is involved. Free curbside delivery is standard; setup is an optional paid service.
How long is the wait?
Lloyd Flanders, Telescope Casual and Castelle sets are built to order in roughly 6 to 8 weeks; stock pieces ship sooner. The estimate appears under the price on every product page.
