How to choose the perfect designer patio table?

1. Style sync: Consider whether you lean towards contemporary, minimalist patio tables or if a sturdy and rustic garden table is more to your taste. Your chosen patio table should not only echo your personal aesthetic but also harmonize with your patio chairs and outdoor lounge chairs, sofas and benches.

2. Weather ready: Given the capricious nature of the weather, it's always recommended to opt for a weather-resistant patio table. Look for materials that are robust enough to withstand your local climate, ensuring your designer patio table remains a lasting feature through various weather conditions.

3. Size right: Adapt your selection to the dimensions of your patio. Smaller terraces benefit from folding patio tables, petite café tables or extendable tables, while larger areas can accommodate grander dining setups.

4. Sustainable selections: Looking for eco-friendly outdoor tables produced through sustainable practices? Our Product Sustainability Framework is designed to guide you towards making environmentally responsible choices with ease.

Optimal materials for modern patio tables:

• Metal: Metal patio tables are always up for an outdoor adventure, rain or shine. They bring a sleek, industrial flair to the party and stand strong against whatever the weather throws their way.

• Wood: Wooden patio tables, whether it's the elegance of teak or the natural vibe of Nordic pine, bring a slice of the forest to your patio. They blend seamlessly with nature, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere for your outdoor retreat.

• Plastic: Plastic patio tables and synthetic rattan tables offer a lightweight and low-maintenance option for outdoor dining and lounging, available in a variety of colours and styles to match any garden decor. 

• Glass: Glass patio tables add a touch of finesse to your outdoor space, with their sleek surfaces and transparent charm. They're like a clear sky on a perfect day, enhancing the beauty of your surroundings without overshadowing.

• Stoneware: Opting for stone, concrete or ceramic patio tables means embracing rugged beauty and unmatched stability. They anchor your outdoor setting with their substantial presence and unique textures.
