Add style and substance to your own great outdoors with garden tables. It’s about so much more than eating alfresco, although that’s at the heart of every great garden lifestyle. You can sit and chat around them. The kids can play games, you can use your gadgets, have coffee and cake, enjoy a boozy afternoon, a garden table performs any role you want it to. Your job is to make it a stylish choice – and these five are some of our best-sellers.
Hot on style, beautifully made using modern and traditional materials designed to last, here’s something to make your mouth water.
The GLS Aquila garden dining table
Let’s kick off with wood. Meet the Aquila dining set from GLS. Wood makes sense when you think about it: trees live for hundreds of years, sometimes thousands, and they live outdoors. The stuff they’re made from is the ultimate weatherproof outdoor material.
Because we take off the protective bark before using wood to make things, softwoods need preserving and treating against the weather. But many hardwoods don’t. Some are as tough as a tough thing, heavy and durable, and they’ll keep you going for a very long time. If you like you can eventually paint this sustainable teak garden dining set. Otherwise, just let it mellow with the seasons. It’ll always look wonderful.
The GLS Kaida Round Outdoor Dining Table
Sustainable teak sits at the heart of the cool GLS Kaida Round Outdoor Dining Table, which comes with creamy good looks plus a traditional design with a twist. Made to a pedestal style, the pedestal itself is satisfyingly thick and chunky, perfect for making a big impact and just as good when sturdiness is a must.
Circular tables are particularly sociable – think King Arthur’s round table – making them particularly good for chatting with the people you love talking to the most. A circular design is also great for smaller spaces because the shape naturally fits in, magically optimising the space. The lack of corners and edges mean you make the most of every centimetre.
The LIFE Stelvio 6 Seat Dining Set
Live outdoors big style with the LIFE Stelvio dining set, seating six and delivering the ultimate in contemporary design. Sleek and simple, the frames are made from aluminium and the cushions are all-weather. It’s clever material. The rain runs right through the cushions, which means they don’t get wet. The micro-porous filling and outer cover made from quality UV stabilised woven textilene make things extremely durable as well as nicely lounge-able.
The big, bold rectangular table and generous-sized comfortable dining chairs make it a winner with our customers, as does the colour scheme, a subtle symphony of lava grey and carbon. Apparently it’s the table legs that seal the deal though, really chunky and funky. It looks like it’s built to last – and it is.
Then there’s this, a LIFE Stelvio model with eight seats. One of our biggest garden dining tables, it’s truly gorgeous.
The GLS Rhada Mosaic Round Dining Table
The popular GLS Rhada Mosaic Round Dining Table is another big hitter with space-savers wanting to make the most of the garden. Charcoal grey keeps the table on-trend. A smooth modern shape with lovely tapering legs, the light and airy design makes visual sense, not blocking out light and views like something chunkier but letting them shine through so the space feels bigger.
A subtle mosaic garden dining table, it’s quality all the way thanks to the concrete mosaic top and strong powder coated metal base. There’s even a parasol hole if you want to add shade. If not just place a vase or plant pot over the hole to keep things styled. Add any chairs you like: the design is sleek and simple enough to take anything from ultra-modern to traditional.
The GLS Najima Outdoor Dining Table
Continuing the smooth contemporary theme, our customers’ final choice is the GLS Najima Outdoor Dining Table. In an attractive pale colour, the subtle washed grey finish, metal accents and acacia wood build keep things sustainable. It also has excellent weatherproof credentials. It’ll stay outdoors and stay looking good for years.
There’s a fabulous bench-style seating to match, making this one of the most versatile garden dining options in-store. Simple-looking enough to suit every style of garden.
