{"title":"Garden Tables","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA 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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll find in this collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtendable, round, rectangular and square dining tables.

Anything smaller and there's no room for shared dishes in the centre, and place settings start to overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre glass tables dangerous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuality 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much does a garden table weigh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I leave the table outside in winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium, 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFixed or extendable table?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFixed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full collection below, or explore the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/arredo-giardino\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecomplete garden furniture category\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for matching sets.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vidaxl-piano-per-tavolo-crema-o60x25-cm-in-marmo","title":"vidaXL Piano per Tavolo Crema Ø60x2,5 cm in Marmo","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuesto piano superiore in marmo è perfetto per tavoli da pranzo, tavolini da caffè, tavoli da giardino e altro ancora.
