Outdoor Dining Furniture
We love to live outdoors and outdoor dining furniture is a big part of our patio design.
Here in New Hampshire, we savor every second of the warm weather and make the most of our days outdoors since we know the winters can be long and harsh. That's why my outdoor furniture bistro set is my favorite place to be.
Of course, you can use any type of outdoor dining furniture, we like the bistro set because we like a casual atmosphere and it reminds us of an outdoor pub with high tables and chairs. Your dining needs may be more formal than that and they make dining sets in more traditional styles as well.

Since your furniture will be outdoors for the season, you'll want to consider practicality as well as comfort. My outdoor furniture bistro has a glass top table and chairs that are made out of some sort of molded fiber that is very weather resistant and super easy to clean. It is all held together with hollow aluminum tubes which are painted. I have had this set for 4 summers now and it looks as good as the day we bought it so I highly recommend this type of furniture
One important feature in outdoor dining furniture is to make sure the set can use an umbrella, unless, of course you have an awning or some sort of cover. This will help shield you from the sun as well as anything that flutters down from the trees and an unexpected rain showers. Make sure the base for the umbrella is sturdy as you don't want it to fly away in the wind and ruin part of your garden.
You want your outdoor dining furniture to provide maximum comfort so choose wisely. The fancy metal sets look nice, but may not be the most comfortable - or you should consider adding some cushions. The molded fabric (it's like a plasticy fabric and just 1 piece which is molded into that shape of the frame of the chair) doesn't look very comfortable, but in fact it is and much easier to care for than cushions as there is no inner foam to get moldy.
