When the weather starts warming up and the days get longer, we feel called to spend more time in nature. While we love lounging by the pool or spending time in our potager gardens, there's just something special about an alfresco cocktail or dinner party under the stars. But without the right outdoor furniture, it can be difficult to successfully host a gathering. After all, uncomfortable chairs or no table to set your wineglass on are quick ways to kill the festive mood. To help you navigate the world of outdoor dining sets, we've rounded up our favorite finds for every design style and space.
From patio-perfect bistro sets to extra-long tables with umbrella holes to durable options perfect for extreme weather, here are the very best outdoor dining sets to help you entertain with ease.
Terrace Dining Table
This classic outdoor dining table comes in two sizes and three colorways, so you can find the perfect fit for your space. The sculptural pedestal base makes it feel more like an objet d'art than a workhorse piece of furniture—but the reconstituted stone material is durable and ideal for outdoor use. We love pairing this table with Clearwater Side Chairs or the Outdoor Riviera Dining Chairs.
Teak Circle Outdoor Dining Table
Teak furniture is timeless in outdoor spaces, and it's known for its durability and incredible resistance to water and extreme weather. This beautiful dining table can be customized with matching chairs (purchased separately) or you can add flair with curved-back chairs or contrast with a colorful, modern option.
POLYWOOD® Lakeside Dining Set
This ultra-durable dining set is ideal for lake and beach houses where your outdoor furniture has to withstand hot sun, snowy winters, or strong coastal winds. The all-weather lumber won't splinter, crack, chip or peel, and it cleans like a dream. What's not to love?
Round Wicker and Rattan Woven Outdoor Patio Dining Set
This Hollywood Regency dining set is made from whitewashed woven bamboo and rattan, and it looks like it could be straight out of the Palm Royale set. We think this charming set would be perfect in a sunroom or under a covered patio.
Larnaca Teak Dining Table & Manchester Dining Chairs
This is one of the prettiest and more durable outdoor dining sets we've ever seen. The table is made from teak and the chairs have the look of classic wicker (but they're actually made from HDPE resin), giving these pieces all-weather durability. We also love that you can add Sunbrella cushions in seven colors to further customize this outdoor dining set. You can even add on an umbrella for sunny days!
Arcadia Steel Bistro Table
This adorable bistro table set is perfect for smaller spaces like balconies, patios, porches and gardens. It's also ideal for apartment-dwellers, since it folds up for easy storage. The powder-coated steel finish can be used outdoors, but is best suited in a dry, covered area.
