Comparison: Best Circular Garden Table And Chairs (Updated | Nov 9th)

Look at the material (wood, aluminum, resin) for durability and weather resistance, and check the table diameter to ensure it fits your space. Consider the weight capacity of both the table and chairs, especially if you plan to add cushions or umbrellas. Finally, evaluate comfort features such as backrest design, cushion quality, and ease of assembly.

The Tangkula set uses premium acacia wood with rattan‑woven backrests and includes cushioned seats, making it more comfortable for long meals, while the Giantex set is built from solid fir wood with a slatted tabletop and built‑in benches for a bench‑style layout. Tangkula’s table is 36″ in diameter, whereas Giantex offers the same size but adds an umbrella hole for shade. In terms of capacity, Giantex’s benches can hold up to 550 lb each, while Tangkula’s chairs are designed for typical residential use.

The B0F5W4N4JQ Werph 3‑piece set provides a lightweight resin construction, ergonomic chairs, and a compact bistro table that folds easily, making it ideal for tight spaces at a modest price. Its UV‑resistant material and simple assembly add long‑term savings compared to heavier wood sets that need regular oiling. For ultra‑compact needs, the B0F2MRWN7D folding bistro set also offers immediate use with no assembly required.

Aluminum bistro sets are typically designed for two‑person use, with a 23.6″ tabletop and chairs that support up to 300 lb total, so they excel for intimate settings rather than large groups. For bigger gatherings, a round table with built‑in benches (such as the Giantex 8‑person set) provides more seating without needing additional tables. You can still use an aluminum set as a supplemental coffee station alongside a larger dining set.

An umbrella hole adds essential shade on sunny days and protects guests from rain, making it a key feature for most outdoor dining areas. The Giantex and Best Choice Products tables include a 2″ central hole and a pole holder, while the NUU GARDEN set offers a 1.77″ hole with a built‑in holder. The Tangkula and Flamaker wood tables lack a pre‑drilled hole, so you would need a separate umbrella stand or a freestanding shade structure.

Wood tables (acacia, fir, or solid hardwood) should be cleaned with mild soap, dried promptly, and periodically treated with oil or varnish to prevent cracking and rot. Aluminum frames only need a wipe‑down with water and occasional re‑application of a protective spray to maintain the powder‑coat finish. Resin sets are the lowest‑maintenance option; a simple rinse and a quick wipe keep them looking new, and they resist UV fading and rust.

Capacity ranges from 300 lb total for the NUU GARDEN bistro set to 1,500 lb for the Best Choice Products 6‑person picnic table, reflecting the intended use and construction strength. Higher capacity is important if you plan to add heavy cushions, a large umbrella, or serve dense meals like casseroles. Exceeding the rated limit can warp the tabletop, loosen joints, or cause chairs to become unstable.

Yes, a weather‑proof cover like the iBirdie 54″ diameter model shields furniture from rain, sun, and wind, extending its lifespan. Most round tables in this list fall between 36″ and 44″ in diameter, so a 54″ cover provides generous overhang while still fitting securely. Always measure your specific piece and choose a cover with adjustable straps or drawstrings to prevent it from blowing away in gusts.
