Why choose a round outdoor dining table?
Round tables are a natural fit for patios and decks where flow and conversation matter. With no sharp corners, they maximize usable space and allow everyone to sit at an equal distance — ideal for family meals and social gatherings. They also make navigating tight or irregular spaces easier.
How do I know what size round table to pick?
- 48″ round – comfortably seats 4
- 54″–60″ round – seats 5–6
- 72″ round – seats 7–8
- Always allow about 36″ (3 feet) of clearance around the table so chairs can slide back easily and people can walk around.
What materials are Terra’s round outdoor dining tables made from?
Terra’s round tables are built with premium, weather-ready materials such as:
- Solid teak — naturally weather-resistant hardwood that develops a silver patina over time if left untreated.
- Powder-coated aluminum — lightweight, rust-resistant, and easy to maintain.
- Glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) or ceramic tops — durable and modern finishes designed to resist UV, moisture, and wear.
These materials are selected to perform beautifully outdoors while offering a variety of style options.
What are the advantages of pedestal vs. four-leg bases?
Pedestal bases maximize legroom and allow chairs to be tucked all around without obstruction, while four-leg bases offer a more traditional silhouette and excellent stability. The best choice depends on your style preference and how many chairs you’d like to fit around the table.
How should I care for a round outdoor dining table?
Best practices for care and preventive maintenance vary by material:
- Teak — can be left to weather naturally or treated with teak oil/sealer to maintain its golden tone.
- Aluminum — wash with mild soap and water; inspect finishes periodically.
- GFRC/ceramic — wipe spills promptly; clean with non-abrasive solutions; reseal if recommended.
General tip — use protective covers when not in use for extended periods or during harsh weather to extend the table’s life.
Will a round table fit into a smaller outdoor space?
Yes. Round tables are often more efficient in compact spaces because the absence of corners improves flow. They make it easier to move around the area, especially on balconies, smaller decks, or irregularly shaped patios.
What kind of chairs work best with round tables?
Most outdoor dining chairs will pair well, but armless or slimmer chairs allow you to maximize the number of seats around the table. Stackable chairs are also a smart option for seasonal storage and flexible seating.
How long will a round outdoor dining table last?
With high-quality materials and regular care, a round outdoor dining table can last many years — often a decade or more. Using covers, cleaning regularly, and following care recommendations for the specific material will keep it looking and performing its best.
