Outdoor cafe and patio furniture

Sidewalk seating starts at 7 AM and ends when somebody carries it back inside. These 298 pieces cover patio chairs, tables, bar stools, umbrellas, partitions, heaters, and sets in aluminum, resin, steel, and synthetic teak. Read the usage line on each one before it leaves the building.

What may leave the building

Listings mark patio use piece by piece. 261 carry it, and six of those add a covered-patio-only note. Anything without the line stays indoors. A chair built for the dining room, with a wood frame or a cushioned seat, will fade, swell, or rust once it gets wet, and that exposure falls outside the warranty.

Even the right pieces want care. Rinse them, let them drain, and give them a cover or a storage spot when the season closes.

Materials, in plain terms

Frames are mostly metal (63), then aluminum (44) and resin (37), plus 16 aluminum frames finished to look like bamboo. Resin is the most common seat material at 39. Faux rattan seats number 35, and plastic teak seats 33. For tabletops, resin leads again, with aluminum and synthetic teak behind it.

To browse by material, open resin patio furniture, or poly outdoor furniture for the synthetic teak look.

Seats, tables, and sets

Patio chairs are the biggest group by far, 114 of them. Patio tables come to 49, and outdoor furniture sets to 39 for anyone who would rather start with a matched table and chairs. Patio umbrellas number 12 here, bases included.

Closing is a carrying job. 99 pieces in this section stack, and 44 have arms, which makes them wider in the pile. Count the trips before you count the chairs.

Seat heights follow the usual split. Chairs sit at 18 inches most often, with 17 1/2 and 17 3/4 inches next, and the bar-height stools land between 29 1/2 and 30 inches. Tabletops come square (61 listings), rectangular (45), or round (33), and 17 listings are sets.

Measure the strip

A small sidewalk fits fewer tables than you think, because chairs pull out into the walkway. A 24 inch square seats two and a 36 inch square seats four, so a short run of two-tops often beats a single big table. The accessibility figure for a clear route is at least 36 inches wide, and your local code decides the rest.

Pieces here start around $58. Sketch the strip to scale in cafe plans, place the tables first, and add chairs until the walkway starts to pinch.
