Garden tables – the right table for every patio
Garden tables form the heart of every patio and garden – whether for convivial family barbecues, a quiet coffee on a Sunday morning or a leisurely lunch outdoors. At Möbel Ehrmann you’ll find a wide selection of weatherproof models in different shapes, materials and sizes. Whether extendable for large gatherings, compact for the balcony or as a set with matching chairs: we’ll help you find the table that’s just right for your outdoor area. Whether as a patio table or classic outdoor table – discover quality that stands up to wind and weather. For over 30 years, we have advised customers in person in our stores – with the expertise that only decades of experience in the furniture business can bring.
Garden table shapes at a glance – round, square or oval?
Which shape would you prefer? The shape of the table influences not only its appearance but also its everyday use. A round garden table can be a good choice for smaller patios – it encourages interaction, as all guests sit equally close to one another. Round models are available with diameters from 80 to 160 cm – also as weatherproof versions for year-round outdoor use. Diameters of 100 and 120 cm are particularly popular as they provide enough space for four to six people.
Rectangular garden tables are the classic for larger areas and can be placed against a wall or house façade to save space. If you often have guests, you’ll benefit from a generously sized tabletop, comfortably seating six to eight people. An oval garden table combines the best of both worlds: it offers ample space, yet looks visually lighter than a square model and avoids pointed edges – practical when children are playing in the garden. For narrow balconies or compact corners, a square table of 80 × 80 or 90 × 90 cm is a practical solution, taking up little space.
Extendable garden tables – flexible for any number of guests
An extendable garden table is ideal if the number of people changes depending on the occasion. For everyday use, the compact base offers enough room for four people – and if needed, the table top can be easily extended to seat six, eight or even twelve. Many models use a butterfly or extension leaf system that can be operated in just a few simple steps. Extendable, weatherproof versions made of aluminium or with ceramic tops withstand rain and UV rays, so they can stay outside all year round. Plastic models that are extendable are popular, so they remain flexible and easy to care for.
If there is less space available, a folding model is recommended. Folding, weatherproof tables can be quickly folded up and stowed away after a meal to save space – a real alternative for smaller patios and balconies. At Möbel Ehrmann, we’ll be happy to advise you in person as to which mechanism best suits your day-to-day needs. Simply visit one of our regional stores and try out the different extension systems for yourself.
Materials – wood, metal, plastic or ceramic?
The material determines care, durability and style. A garden table made of wood – such as teak, acacia or eucalyptus – is a good choice for anyone who appreciates natural materials. However, regular maintenance with oil or stain should be planned in. Weatherproof wood versions with a special surface treatment greatly reduce maintenance and are also suitable for rainy regions. Teak, for example, is considered particularly robust and develops a silvery grey patina over time – an effect that many find especially classy.
Models made of metal and aluminium score points for their low weight and high weather resistance. Powder-coated surfaces offer reliable protection against rust and are available in colours such as anthracite, black or white. Matching aluminium garden chairs make a harmonious set with the table. If you’re looking for an affordable garden table, plastic can be a good choice – particularly easy to look after and attractively priced. Modern wood-look versions look surprisingly classy and are easy to clean with a damp cloth. If you have higher demands, you may prefer a ceramic top – scratch-resistant, heat-resistant and available in many designs – from concrete and marble effects to natural stone imitations.
In our brand portfolio you’ll find manufacturers such as Nardi, HOUE, Stern and Tierra Outdoor, who are known for high-quality workmanship and thoughtful design. Whether value for money or premium – at Möbel Ehrmann we offer brands for every taste and budget.
Sizes and seating capacity – which table is right for you?
The right size depends on how many people are regularly seated at the table. As a rule of thumb: allow about 60 cm of table width per person. A small garden table of 80 × 80 cm is easily enough for two to four people – ideal for the balcony or a small seating area. For six guests, we recommend dimensions from 140 × 90 cm, and a table for eight people should be at least 200 × 100 cm. For large parties, extendable models offer lengths of up to 300 cm – so ten or twelve seats are no problem.
A garden table with chairs as a ready-matched set makes selection easier and ensures a harmonious overall look on your patio. In our stores, you can compare and try out different sizes and combinations for yourself – personal advice included. Here you benefit from the expertise of our team: our interior design consultants know the differences between the models in detail and help you find the right solution for your outdoor area.
Special features for your garden table
Practical details make all the difference in everyday life. A garden table with a parasol hole offers space for a parasol and provides pleasant shade on hot summer days. A height-adjustable table can be used flexibly as a dining table or as a lower lounge version – perfect for relaxed evenings. Some models even offer both: full table height for dining in the day, a comfortable lounge height for drinks and conversation in the evening. Also pay attention to details such as removable legs, integrated shelves or castors – such extras increase flexibility and make it easier to move around your patio.
If you want to furnish your entire outdoor space, you’ll find not only tables but a complete selection with us. Our lounge furniture goes perfectly with an outdoor dining table, and in the garden sofas section you’ll discover comfortable seating solutions for your outdoor living room. Accessories such as outdoor seat cushions, covers and parasols complete the range. This way, you can design your garden or patio step by step into a fully-fledged living area under the open sky.
