When it comes to outdoor living, the best outdoor dining set can completely transform a backyard, balcony, or patio into a space that’s stylish, functional and ready for entertaining. An outdoor table and chairs combo isn’t just practical – it’s the heart of alfresco living, where shared meals, long chats and weekend brunches come together.
This season, outdoor dining trends are all about versatility and personality. Lightweight, modern designs make rearranging your space easy, while coastal-inspired, woven textures and soft neutrals bring a relaxed, resort-like vibe.
Those who entertain often will appreciate larger modular tables or lounge-dining combos, while small-space dwellers can make a big impact with bistro-style settings that tuck neatly into corners.

Yes, investing in a quality outdoor dining set means you’ll have a durable, comfortable space for entertaining and relaxing outside. Cheaper sets may look good short term but often don’t stand up to the Aussie weather.
Aluminium is a popular pick thanks to its lightweight, rust-resistant properties, while teak and acacia timber are strong choices if you prefer a natural look (though they’ll need occasional oiling). Wicker and rattan with UV protection suit coastal-inspired spaces, and glass or stone table tops are both stylish and easy to clean.
To make your set last longer, cover it when not in use, store cushions inside or in a weatherproof box and give timber pieces a regular wipe down with oil when they start to dry out. Aluminium and wicker can be cleaned with mild soap and water to keep them looking fresh.
Prices can range from a few hundred dollars for a small bistro set to several thousand for large timber or modular settings. It comes down to how often you’ll use it, how long you want it to last and your budget.
A two to four seater is ideal for balconies and compact patios, while a six seater works well for families and casual entertaining. If you often host larger groups, an eight to 10 seater or modular setup will give you plenty of space without crowding the table.
This year, we’re seeing a mix of sleek aluminium frames, coastal-inspired neutrals, extendable tables for entertainers and a playful nod to retro shapes and colours. The focus is on sets that balance style with versatility, so you can make the most of your space.
The biggest discounts usually appear at the end of summer, when retailers clear stock. However, big sale events like EOFY, Boxing Day, Black Friday and Afterpay Day are also great opportunities to pick up a quality set at a lower price.
