Al Fresco Furniture: Outdoor Dining Tables

Nature has a healing effect on us and tends to remind us of the special connection we have with the environment and the people around us. What better way to enjoy the calming effects of our natural surroundings than with a nature-themed dining experience? However, a cosy dining experience against the backdrop of nature needs some preparation in the form of dining sets that are built to handle the outdoors, particularly in Singapore’s hot and humid climate. Luckily, at Comfort Furniture, Singapore we’re well-prepared to handle the challenges of dining in the great outdoors with our durable outdoor dining tables, chairs and benches. Looking to get your own set of outdoor dining furniture that will stand the test of time despite Singapore’s muggy climate? Read on to find out what you should look for when shopping for an outdoor dining set.

Size Matters

When picking an outdoor dining table, size truly matters. Most Singaporeans live in high-rise apartments or condominiums, hence outdoor space is limited and sometimes close to non-existent. If space constraints are a concern, perhaps an outdoor coffee table and outdoor loungers would be better suited for your outdoor dining needs as a smaller alternative to outdoor dining tables. However, if you’re one of the lucky few who owns a spacious garden, patio, yard, nature-themed restaurant or cafe, then an outdoor dining table will be an excellent addition to your space. When deciding on what size of outdoor dining table to buy, it’s best to consider how many guests you plan to have over and how big your allocated space is. Whether you are using a big outdoor table or joining up several smaller tables, there is no right way to create a memorable al-fresco dining experience. You can also pair outdoor dining benches with longer tables which allow more people to be seated together as compared to conventional chairs.

Form and Function

Ideally, an outdoor table needs to be made from UV-protected, rust resistant and water-repellent materials, but what other functions do you require your outdoor dining table to have? If you’re keen on having an outdoor layout that’s not covered by an awning or some form of shade, consider getting a dining table with centre holes for installing patio umbrellas so you can still enjoy the cool shade on the sunniest of days. For space-saving, portable options, you can also turn to foldable outdoor tables. Not only are foldable outdoor tables handy thanks to its ability to fold away when not needed, but they’re also great for extending existing outdoor tables just in case you have additional guests.
