Outdoor Tables and Benches

Picnic tables allow you to dine outside in comfort. They are available in a range of sizes, shapes, and colours. They typically come with a set of matching chairs. When pairing an outdoor table and bench seats, check that the table legs leave enough room for seated knees and that the bench can slide underneath if space is limited.

An outdoor bench is a great piece of furniture to have when you’re hosting friends and family as it provides extra seating. Benches are also great in the garden.

For outdoor timber table and bench seats, compare the care requirements of each piece rather than assuming they need the same treatment. Seating options such as the Surrey Teak Bench by Jati can be paired with a separate table, so the timber finishes do not have to match.

Coffee tables are smaller outdoor tables and are a great addition to your outdoor living area in Australia, especially if you love to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee.

A patio table and bench intended for meals should be checked for compatible seat and tabletop heights. Dining options include the Mill Pedestal Outdoor Dining Table by Eco Outdoor®, while lower tables such as the Frankie Outdoor Ceramic Coffee Table by Globe West suit lounge seating.

Outdoor storage boxes keep your equipment safe, dry, and protected and can often double up as a bench for seating. They come in several types, sizes, and colours, so you’ll find one to match your outdoor décor.

When purchasing outdoor furniture like tables and benches, make sure you seek out high-quality pieces as they will have much more longevity as they are manufactured with robust and durable materials. This is especially important in Australia where your furniture will need to stand up to the outdoor elements. High-quality outdoor tables also require much less maintenance and quality benches are much more comfortable for you and your guests. High quality products also boast high quality styling, transforming your outdoor space in a refreshing way, quickly and easily.

In Australia, we love outdoor living which is why purchasing the right outdoor table or bench is so important. When selecting a new piece of outdoor furniture make sure you measure the space where it will be placed to make sure you have enough room for it. You can then select the specific type of table or bench you want based on the material, style, colour and design. This will influence a mixture of functional and aesthetic traits which you can tailor according to your priorities. When doing so, you should take your existing outdoor décor theme into account, thinking about what will work or clash with the pieces you have in mind.  A narrow outdoor table can suit patios where the dining area shares space with a walkway, but measure the passage with the seating occupied rather than tucked away.
