Keep reading to discover the benefits of each, as well as the different types, materials and colors.

Outdoor Dining Tables & Dining Patio Tables for Family Meal

Preparing for a cookout? First things first: find the right outdoor dining table for the occasion. If you often host a large number of friends and family, consider a square patio table for 8 or one that's rectangular and place overhead a Sunbrella umbrella. Its elongated sides allow for more people to sit comfortably while mingling and enjoying their meals. For hosts who are working with a smaller backyard, find patio dining sets with tables that are drop-leaf or flip-top instead. Either way, there is plenty of surface area for patio dinnerware, drinkware and place settings. Once you've decided on a patio table set, it's time to think about the finish. For instance, a wood patio dining table is a popular choice for hosts who prefer a traditional touch, such as one in the Alfresco II Outdoor Furniture Collection. Or, sleek metals—aluminum outdoor tables included—fit right in with an industrial aesthetic. On the other hand, a glass round patio table for 6 is a timeless addition to any modern patio setting. Taking a more casual approach? Opt for an outdoor dining table in a bag that offers convenient storage, or go with a high patio table for more intimate affairs. After choosing your ideal patio dining table, be sure to add outdoor kitchen and entertaining essentials to complement your outdoor kitchen furniture and light a couple of unscented candles for a cozy atmosphere.

Outdoor Dining Chairs & Patio Furniture At Home

Now that your outdoor eating area is anchored with a patio dining table, it's time to find a coordinating seating option. Fortunately, there are a number of outdoor patio dining chairs to pursue for your space, including those from brands such as Sunbrella outdoor furniture. Looking to keep things simple? Stick with classic materials, such as wood patio dining chairs and outdoor wicker chairs. Both are an easy fit, whether the event is more laid-back or taking on a formal theme. Metal patio seating is also a popular choice for those who have contemporary style, too. Just having a couple of people over for lunch? Pull out a set of mesh patio dining chairs instead, or hang out around the outdoor bar with coordinating counter stools. Then, be sure to use a comfy outdoor patio pillow for additional support. When it comes to design, armless outdoor dining chairs encourage a familiar eating experience, while those with arms make a statement.

Outdoor Dining Benches & Modern Patio Dining Seats

An alternative seating option for your backyard meal experience: outdoor patio dining benches. Unexpected and fun, patio benches are easy to mix and match with your garden dining set. Think wood finishes to achieve an effortless touch or go with metal outdoor benches to pair with iron patio dining chairs. Also, keep in mind that backless benches enhance a picnic-like atmosphere, while others with a seatback encourage settling in. Either way, as with other seating options, don't forget to add outdoor lounge furniture with Sunbrella cushions for support.

No matter your preferences for outdoor dining furniture, be sure to keep them in pristine condition with patio furniture covers and the appropriate protectant. Plus, patio dining sets with umbrellas shield you and your food from the sun's rays during mealtime.
