King Living Outdoor Dining Tables combine contemporary design with durable, high-performance materials to withstand all weather conditions, from rain and wind to hot summer climates. This means when choosing your outdoor dining table, you can focus on style, space and function.

Start by measuring your available area, keeping in mind room is needed for outdoor dining chairs and ease of movement. Think about how often you entertain: an extendable table suits larger gatherings, while a compact round or square design may better suit smaller spaces and more intimate settings.

Consider aesthetic. Select a shape and finish from the customisable collection that complements your home’s architecture and interior palette, creating a cohesive flow from indoors to out. Explore the full collection further by reading our article on how to choose the right outdoor dining table.

Whether your outdoor space is a cosy patio, compact balcony, open terrace, or a spacious backyard, the ideal outdoor dining table depends on your garden’s size, intended layout, and how much seating you need.

• For smaller spaces or intimate corners like a balcony, bar-height, counter-height or round tables found in the Olive Outdoor Collection offer practicality without compromising style. Opt for a round table at least 90cm in diameter for two to four guests.

• A square patio or decking may be better complemented by a round or square table with individual dining chairs, creating a more intimate atmosphere where space is limited.

• For those seeking flexibility, choose a compact square or extendable design found in the Quay Outdoor Collection to elevate corner zones and make room for guests. A six-seater rectangular table typically requires around 2.5 x 1.5 metres of space, allowing room to move comfortably around each side.

• More expansive outdoor areas like wide terraces or long garden settings benefit from rectangular designs like the Plateau Outdoor Dining set with bench seating, offering a perfect entertainment space for hosting larger groups.

Always measure your area before selecting a table and allow at least 90 centimetres of clearance around all sides to ensure ease of movement and comfort.

Styling an outdoor dining table enhances the ambiance of your exterior space.

Begin with minimalist tableware and glassware that suit your aesthetic. Add subtle touches like lanterns, sculptural candle holders or refined linens for alfresco meals. We recommend bringing décor items indoors when not in use to protect them from the elements and preserve their condition over time. Greenery or fresh flowers bring a layer of natural sophistication. Complete the setting with considered dining chairs or stools from the King Living Outdoor Collection for comfort.

Designed for customisation, King Living dining tables are available in natural teak or ceramic finishes, paired with aluminium frames in signature powder coat options. Style your chosen outdoor dining table look with an outdoor rug for added comfort and texture.

We don’t recommend taking your indoor dining table outdoors.

Indoor furniture is not built to withstand moisture, UV exposure or temperature fluctuations. Using an indoor table outside may lead to warping, fading or structural damage, while King Living Outdoor Dining Tables are crafted with premium, weather-resistant materials, built to perform season after season in all weather conditions.

If your aim is to create a cohesive look and flow between your indoor and outdoor dining settings, the Quay Dining Table and Chairs are available in both indoor and outdoor styles.

The most durable materials for an outdoor dining table includes teak, ceramic, and powder-coated aluminium or steel.

Teak resists water, insects and decay, requiring minimal maintenance. Ceramic is scratch-resistant, UV-stable and non-porous, ideal for outdoor surfaces. Aluminium or steel alloy with a KingCote® powder-coating ensures components are rust resistant and will last for years to come.

Yes, outdoor dining tables can be left outside year-round, provided they’re made from weather-resistant materials.

King Living Outdoor Dining Tables crafted from teak, ceramic, or powder-coated aluminium and steel. These high-performance materials are designed to endure changing seasons and weather without compromising on appearance or structure.

For longevity, it's highly recommended to use protective WeatherGuard™ Covers when not in use and to clean surfaces regularly. In areas with harsh weather conditions, storing cushions or soft accessories indoors will help preserve their condition.

Routine cleaning protects and preserves the beauty and longevity of your outdoor table.

Simply brush off loose debris, then wipe with a soft cloth and mild cleaners from our King-Care® Kits. Avoid abrasive products that may damage finishes, and if you’re unsure, always test an inconspicuous area first.
