Whether you’re entertaining or just enjoying a cup of coffee and snack solo, there’s nothing quite like alfresco dining. An outdoor dining set lets you enjoy meals with family and friends while also taking in the view and fresh air. If you are looking to upgrade your outdoor living space, a new dining set will add to your overall available space, and secondly, it'll hold the promise of relaxation, entertainment, and overall enjoyment. Buying an outdoor dining set involves much of the same steps as buying indoor furniture, but there are some additional considerations as well.

SIZE & SHAPE

It is important that your set works within your space. Size and shape are the first factor that you should consider. Our outdoor furniture dining tables range from circles, squares and rectangles, to ovals. A dining table will be the focal point of your dining space, therefore shape plays an important function.

HEIGHT

The next factor that is important to consider when choosing the best dining set for your yard is the height of the table itself. Bar height tables are nice for not only sipping on cocktails but for sharing a meal on as well. People may consider the bar height table if they are more space conscious, as these tables tend to take up less room. Bar height tables typically seat four people comfortably, and are ideal for diners who like to stretch their legs. Lower tables are exceptional for relaxing at and are comfortable for people of all ages; which is very important to note.

STYLE

There is a plethora of outdoor dining chairs to choose from at Goodwin. Some of our customers like to stay within a collection and match the chairs with their table perfectly. However, we always say that is okay to "spice it up" and mix and match your dining set. Most of our dining collection pieces are sold separately, this allows our customers to expand their search for the chairs of their dreams.

MATERIALS

Goodwin has a wide range of outdoor dining collections constructed of varying, highly durable materials. Material is most certainly something to take into account when choosing your outdoor furniture. Synthetic rattan and aluminum based sets have been our top sellers for many years. Aluminum is the ultimate outdoor material as it remains rust-free and is extremely durable. Resin wicker is a traditional material that invokes the classic look and feel of an outdoor living space. Both of these materials are easy to maintain and more importantly, have a timeless look. In addition, you can also choose textilene or rope style outdoor dining sets covers according to your preferences.
