Outdoor Dining Sets

Outdoor dining sets for 4 on small patios

Outdoor dining sets for 4 are the right fit for a small patio, a balcony or a corner of a deck. Some are 5-piece sets with a table and four chairs, and some use a round table to save floor space.

Leave about 3 feet of clearance behind each chair so people can sit down and walk past. Sets for 2 suit a bistro-style corner.

Outdoor dining sets for 6 and 8 guests

Outdoor dining sets for 6 seat six people around one table, and larger sets for 8 are also available. Seating on this page runs from 2 to 8.

Some tables are extendable, which helps when guests come over, and some chairs are folding or stackable for easier storage.

Aluminum outdoor dining set and other materials

An aluminum outdoor dining set is light, easy to move and does not rust. Other materials on this page include solid acacia wood, HDPE, steel, iron and resin wicker.

HDPE is a durable plastic that wipes clean, acacia wood brings a warmer look but needs regular care, and steel and iron frames should have a protective coating.

Outdoor dining set with umbrella hole and table shapes

An outdoor dining set with umbrella shade starts with a table that has an umbrella hole, and some sets here have one. Choose an umbrella wide enough to cover the table and the chairs pushed back.

Tables come in round, rectangular, square and oval shapes. Round tables fit tight spaces, while rectangular and oval tables seat more people along the sides.

Outdoor patio dining sets care and storage

Outdoor patio dining sets last longer with simple care. Wipe frames with mild soap and water, and clean cushions as the fabric label directs.

Use a fitted cover in the off-season, and store cushions indoors or in a deck box. For wood sets, oil or seal them according to the care instructions.
