Comparison: Best Garden Table 4 Chairs (Updated | Nov 10th)

Look for powder‑coated steel or aluminum frames, as they resist rust and withstand rain, which you’ll find in the Vongrasig and Arlopu sets. Solid wood such as acacia offers natural strength but needs regular sealing to prevent weather damage, as seen in the Flamaker and Devoko sets. Wicker or textilene chairs are lightweight and breathable, but they rely on a sturdy metal frame for long‑term stability.

Folding chairs, like those in the Vongrasig set, are convenient for small spaces because they can be stacked or stored under the table when not in use. Fixed chairs often provide more solid armrests and back support, which you’ll notice in the SERWALL and Andehomy sets, enhancing comfort for longer meals. However, fixed chairs take up more permanent space and may be harder to move around.

The Arlopu set combines a compact glass‑top table with stackable textilene chairs, providing a sleek look without sacrificing space, making it a strong value choice for tight areas. The Vongrasig set also offers a space‑saving folding design plus a bonus umbrella, delivering extra utility at a comparable price. Both options include durable frames and easy‑clean surfaces, which add to their overall cost‑effectiveness.

An umbrella hole protects diners from sun and light rain, extending the seasonality of your set; most tables include a hole between 1.5 and 2 inches. The larger 2‑inch opening found on the SERWALL and Stabrech tables accommodates a wider range of market umbrellas, offering the most flexibility. Smaller holes, like the 1.57‑inch opening on the Crownland set, work well with standard patio umbrellas but may limit size options.

Glass tops, such as those on the Vongrasig and Arlopu sets, are easy to wipe clean and resist stains, but they can feel colder in winter and may chip if struck. Wood tops, like the acacia tables in the Flamaker and Devoko sets, add warmth and a natural aesthetic but require periodic sealing to prevent moisture damage. Metal tops are lightweight and rust‑treated, offering durability, yet they can become hot under direct sun and may show scratches over time.

Weight limits range from about 110 lb for the Arlopu glass table to 220 lb for the SERWALL table, while chair capacities vary from 330 lb on the Arlopu chairs to 300 lb on the Stabrech chairs. Higher capacities ensure the set can safely hold heavy dishes, drinks, or larger users without wobbling. Choosing a set with a comfortable safety margin prevents premature wear and maintains stability during gatherings.

Wicker and textilene chairs need occasional brushing to remove dust and a mild soap wash to clear stains, as seen in the Vongrasig and FDW sets. Metal frames should be inspected for rust spots and cleaned with a non‑abrasive cleaner; powder‑coated finishes like those on the Crownland set help resist corrosion. Wood tables require periodic oiling or varnish to protect against moisture, especially for acacia pieces such as the Flamaker and Devoko sets.

The Andehomy set features 360° swivel chairs with soft cushions, offering excellent back support and movement for extended dining. The MELLCOM chairs also include thick, 2.76‑inch cushions and a rocking design that reduces fatigue during long gatherings. If you prefer a firmer seat, the SERWALL chairs have ergonomic armrests and slatted backs that promote good posture while still delivering comfort.
