The Best Patio Dining Sets That’ll Make You Love Having Dinner Outdoors

Key Specs

• Table length: 6.9 feet
• Material: Powder-coated aluminum
• Available colors: 1, with cushions available in multiple colors

Seat your whole household (and perhaps then some!) at this generously sized patio dining set. It comes with eight seats, two of which are armchairs for the heads of the table. All of the chairs have their own Sunbrella-fabric cushions for a little extra comfort and support.

Durable and low-maintenance with its rust-resistant aluminum build, reviewers love the quality of this no-fuss set. One person sums it up succinctly, saying, “Extremely easy to put together. Lightweight yet durable. Color was perfect.” And because the tabletop is made of aluminum, which does not get as hot as steel, you won’t have to worry about the heat of this table’s surface in direct sunlight.

If you have the space for a larger table, this patio dining set is an amazing investment that you won't have to spend a lot of extra time cleaning and reinforcing each year.

• Table diameter: 4 feet
• Material: Faux-wood Polywood
• Available colors: 6

One of our favorite brands in the outdoor furniture space is Polywood. There's a lot to love: Their tables and chairs are textured like the most perfectly sanded wood, the pieces are incredibly hefty, and they're made from recycled plastic material that requires no waterproofing or sealing.

This 5-piece set feels as great to sit in as it looks. The seats are slightly arched back, so the sitter feels a bit more relaxed. And while they don't come with cushions, the chairs are so roomy and comfortable that you probably won't need them. It even has a sealable umbrella hole, so whether or not you own a patio umbrella to insert in the middle, the table will look complete.

• Table length: 5.9 feet
• Material: Acacia wood
• Available colors: 1

This acacia-wood patio dining set is one of the most beautiful outdoor furniture investments you can find. The one caveat, of course, is that you do need to keep up with the wood's maintenance, which involves cleaning and resealing it if necessary.

This set is touted by users as being easy to assemble, and it looks absolutely stunning in real life. It comes with teal blue polyester cushions that coordinate perfectly if you place this set poolside.

Key Specs

• Table length: 2.6 feet
• Material: Eucalyptus wood
• Available colors: 3

This natural eucalyptus-wood set brings a lot of style to a tight space — its table is the smallest on our list, but it still manages to be roomy enough to seat four. Just keep in mind that it lacks an umbrella hole.

Some time assembling is required, but the result is a simple, roomy, and well-made set that'll make you want to take your morning coffee outdoors more often. Says one reviewer, “The table is beautiful, solid, easy to put together. The chairs are wide and the arms are especially great for seniors who need the extra help in standing.”

This picnic-table dining set has a distinct, modernist flair. We love its curved, slatted bench seats and the slight slope of the table legs. Reviewers adore this set and find the seats to be surprisingly roomy — according to one person, “The benches are really comfortable to sit on, and the size will easily seat six people — more if we squish. I just love it!”

Because it's made of eucalyptus wood, you'll want to treat it so that it doesn't weather, discolor, or mildew when left outside for an entire season. But it's a small, once-a-year sacrifice to make for a beautiful patio dining set.

If you want a luxurious set that's made to handle the summer heat, Outer's new dining table set is the one to get.

Launched in collaboration with Bobby Berk of Queer Eye, this outdoor dining set comprises a powder-coated aluminum frame that won't get lava-hot in the sun, a teak-wood tabletop that comes pre-oiled (taking one step out of your usual seasonal chore list!), and six teak director-style chairs that provide great support with their weather-resistant polyester/PVC upholstery.

This table extends to seat up to 12 guests, and the chairs are all foldable, so you can store them super easily. As if those features weren't convenient enough, we also love that the table comes with its own OuterShell cover that you can place over the table until you're ready to sit at it — this not only protects the wood from moisture damage, but it'll also prevent the table from getting covered with pollen and other gunk that you'd have to clean off before enjoying it!

Key Specs

• Table length: Extendable from 4.6 to 6.6 feet
• Material: Acacia hardwood
• Available colors: 3

This casual dining set is ideal for eating family-style. Made entirely of acacia wood, its two bench seats comfortably hold two people each, and its already generously sized 55-inch-long table can actually extend up to 79 inches long!

You can even buy the benches and table as separate pieces if you already own a partial outdoor set that you wish to complete.

• Table length: 5.75 feet
• Material: Hardwood and metal
• Available colors: 1

Wood and metal make a ruggedly refined coupling, which is why we love the look of this spacious yet stylish patio dining set.

Its hardwood tabletop and six seats will look incredible season after season with the proper care. Assembly is required, though it shouldn't be difficult work if you have an extra set of hands to help.
