A garden table isn't just a piece of furniture: it's the anchor around which outdoor life at home is organised. Sunday lunches, Friday aperitifs, long July dinners. The wrong one gets used twice a year. The right one becomes the centre of gravity of your terrace. In this collection you'll find tables chosen to last as long as the house itself.

What you'll find in this collection

Extendable, round, rectangular and square dining tables. Coffee tables for lounge areas. High bar tables for terraces. Materials: aluminium, polyrattan, polywood, teak, tempered glass, outdoor ceramic.

The right size for the number of people

4 people

80×80 cm table (square) or 100–120 cm diameter (round). Anything smaller: too tight for shared dishes in the centre.

6 people

160×90 cm (rectangular) or 140 cm diameter (round). The standard for a family plus 2 guests.

8 people

200×100 cm rectangular. 160+ cm diameter round (but occupies nearly 3 m² of total space once circulation is factored in).

Extendable

From 6 to 10 seats with side extensions. The solution for those who occasionally need extra capacity without the everyday bulk.

Tabletop materials: pros and cons

Tempered glass

Clean modern aesthetic. Easy to wipe down (water runs right off). Vulnerable to thermal shock (sudden heat+cold can cause cracks). Heavy. Absorbs solar heat — can get too hot to touch in July.

Polywood

Wood-look finish, zero maintenance. 25+ year lifespan. Won't crack or splinter. High weight (an advantage for stability). Initial cost 30–40% more than teak.

Teak

A classic. Ages beautifully (develops a natural silver patina). Requires annual oiling to retain its original colour. 20+ year lifespan.

Outdoor ceramic

Porcelain stoneware top, 10–20 mm thick. Resistant to everything: scratches, sun, frost, impact. Natural stone or concrete aesthetic. Mid-to-high price range.

Aluminium (top)

Lightweight, zero maintenance, but conducts heat. Often used as a base frame with a different material for the actual top.

Round vs rectangular tables

Round

More sociable (everyone faces each other). Relatively more floor space for the seating capacity. Best for groups of 4–6.

Rectangular

More space-efficient. Better for narrow, elongated terraces. Seat more people with a smaller footprint.

Square

A middle ground. Good for symmetrical terraces and small groups (4 max).

Coffee tables for lounge areas

Right height

40–45 cm from the ground (level with sofa cushions). 60–100 cm diameter.

Height-adjustable models

Convert a coffee table into a quick dining table. Useful on small multi-purpose terraces.

Models with storage compartment

Store cushions, throws and accessories inside. Maximise space on small balconies.

High bar tables (for terraces and aperitif areas)

Height 100–110 cm

Pair with bar stools with a footrest. Small floor footprint. Casual modern aesthetic.

Small bistro tables

60–70 cm diameter, standard height 75 cm. For balconies under 4 m². Two people only — perfect for breakfast or drinks for two.

Frequently asked questions

What's the right size for dining with 4 people?

Minimum 80×80 cm (square) or 100 cm diameter (round). Anything smaller and there's no room for shared dishes in the centre, and place settings start to overlap.

Are glass tables dangerous?

Quality tempered glass (minimum 10 mm thick) withstands impact and, if broken, shatters into small blunt pieces. Float glass (non-tempered) is dangerous and prohibited for outdoor furniture.

How much does a garden table weigh?

Aluminium 100×60: 12–18 kg. Polywood 160×90: 35–50 kg. Teak 200×100: 60–90 kg. Heavier = more wind-stable, but harder to move.

Can I leave the table outside in winter?

Aluminium, polywood, ceramic: yes, with a waterproof cover. Teak: yes, with oil applied in October plus a cover. Glass: always covered (thermal shock can crack the top).

Fixed or extendable table?

Fixed if you always have the same number of guests. Extendable if you entertain occasionally (5–10 times a year): the mechanism adds 30–50% to the cost but means you don't have to buy an oversized table that sits empty most of the time.
