We’ve got wood! Fab wooden garden dining sets

Love real timber? So do we. And so does Norfolk Leisure, a premium garden furniture brand we’d trust with our lives! In this post we’ll explore the wonderful world of real wooden garden dining sets. Here are two contemporary classics that are causing a stir in our world.

Eye candy – Pacific Lifestyle Salita Outdoor 8 Seater Dining Set

Do you entertain as many as eight people at time in the garden? We salute you! This is exactly what you need to bring more sophistication, comfort and design excellence to your setting. Pale and interesting is the name of the game with the Salita, which seats eight in comfort around a generous sized rectangular table. We adore the way they’ve rounded off the corners of the table to give it a smooth modern look, also a nice little safety feature if you happen to have kids and pets running around getting all excited.

The whole set has genuine teak frames, a stunning natural timber as well as being unusually long lasting, strong and weather resistant, even in our nutty UK weather. And here’s a wee bonus: you can stack the chairs for easy storage and to free up space. Because it comes with a generous 3 Year Structural Guarantee you can relax. And the tie-on chair cushions are pretty relaxing too as well as UV protected, season proof and fire retardant. The devil is in all this luscious detail, and there’s even a matching six seater set if that suits your alfresco lifestyle better.

Stunning! The Pacific Lifestyle Reuleaux Outdoor 6 Seater Dining Set

Table for six, anyone? The Reuleaux is another stunner in real wood, this time with a quirky triangular table for extra-sociable eating, drinking and merriness. It’s a surprisingly roomy design choice, giving everyone the elbow room they need to have a wonderful time. Three legs makes the table stable even when the surface isn’t perfectly flat a neat trick that has something clever to do with physics. While we don’t understand it, it certainly works. Not a wobble in sight.

The chairs are like the Salita set’s chairs, a smooth contemporary design with a comfortable curved back, gently splayed legs and a look and feel that reminds us of mid-century 1950s designs, which have been enjoying a comeback for some time now. Lovely pale wood and a light and airy design means it complements gardens of every size without looking like a dirty great lump. It is far too elegant for that!
