Outdoor dining sets-NOT TEAK!

7 years ago

We live in a coastal town & our main dining space is going to be outdoor, under the trellis. My husband is adamant that he doesn't want teak because once it patinas, it is very difficult to maintain. So we are looking for another material to use. We both like concrete and my husband likes wicker (I do not) but we aren't having any luck looking locally or online. Our style is contemporary. Any suggestions for particular websites and/or great materials for the furniture are greatly appreciated!

I actually have a Corbusier table with a glass top for my outdoor dining room it has sat outside all year round without a cover in S. BC Canada through all kinds or weather it seats 8 nicely. We chose some really inexpensive chairs from Ikea that can stack in metal and plastic formed back ansd seats now all these pieces are 12 yrs old ansd still look great.This is the table and Ikea no longer has my chairs but these are nice with the table I love the table because it has a choice of size of top in a really thick glass and is a classic.

What about redwood? It ages darker instead of gray.

Ironically, check out teakwarehouse.com. They have many contemporary looking patio sets in concrete, wicker and other materials.

Check out Summer Classics. Its extensive product range includes resin wicker (which is a very durable alternative to natural wicker), cast aluminum, wrought aluminum, teak, wrought iron, composite stone (called Superstone) and stainless steel patio furniture. (I think that’s all of ‘em!)

I can personally vouch for the aluminum, but wouldn’t hesitate to buy any of its offerings!

Here are a couple picks that, I think, fit your criteria:

1.

“A unique pairing of dark charcoal superstone tempered glass and stainless steel, this outdoor dining table embodies both new and classic Summer Classics designs. We’ve combined a beloved stone table top with a current innovation of stainless steel frame. As always, this dynamic table also encompasses a durable design and a luxury look.”

2.
“The Ella Dining Table Base features overlapping aluminum circles in a contemporary design that mixes easily with a wide range of outdoor furnishings. Pair this base with a Summer Classics Superstone tabletop to complete the look.”
