Wood might be the most varied—and versatile—material when it comes to furniture and cabinetry, but not all timber creations are the same. Some pieces are constructed out of solid wood, crafted using unadulterated slabs of lumber directly sourced from trees. But plenty are made of engineered, or artificial, wood: a composite material formed by binding particles, strands, and fibers to make plywood (several thin wooden boards pressed and glued together to create one sheet), veneers (fine slices of real wood bonded with plywood), and fiberboards (wood pulp and fibers mixed with a strong adhesive and molded into boards).
So which is better? Well, it depends: "Solid wood furniture is held in the highest regard among collectors and builders. That being said, there are two sides to each coin," says Owen Madden of Rowan Woodwork, a custom design studio based in Kingston, NY. Though solid wood furniture is easy to maintain and offers incredible durability and design flexibility, it can also be quite pricey due to all the costs associated with sourcing, milling, and crafting. Plus it can be sensitive to environmental shifts: "The stability of solid wood can become an issue in certain climates where humidity varies per season," Madden explains. "Parts can shrink in lower humidity and swell in higher humidity," potentially causing seams to rupture. Then again, "the feel of solid wood is unmatched," he admits. "The weight of a piece—be it on either side of the scale—can make a statement. From a featherlight Windsor chair to an immovable solid slab dining table, each will be a one-of-a-kind piece."
But solid wood isn't necessarily superior. While moisture can wreak havoc on real timber, engineered wood is relatively immune to warping and is easier to use for producing long, flat surfaces. Additionally, "the flare of design with engineered materials is anything but mundane," Madden says, citing Herman Miller's iconic Eames chair—which is made of multiple layers of thin wood veneers—as the paragon of a fine plywood piece.
Furnishings and flooring made of composite wood are also generally less expensive, since they only require a sliver of the real thing. Higher affordability, however, can sometimes be attributed to lower quality. "Inferior manufacturing can be an issue with engineered products," Madden says, adding that the more processing a material undergoes, the higher the risk for imperfections. Not to mention: "the over-production of an engineered material can sometimes make a product less sustainable," he says, and the use of excessive glues and resins in a composite can make the item look unnatural. In addition, it's much harder to repair furnishings made of manufactured wood, since it can't be sanded, undented, or refinished.

Ultimately, there's a case to be made for buying both real and faux wood. "The two shouldn't be mutually exclusive—mixing material has always been a part of design," Madden says. "The important part is that the different materials will work together as one." One example to avoid is an epoxy river table, in which a resin is placed between two halves of a slab of timber. "The movement of the wood will eventually pull away from the epoxy as it shrinks seasonally," he reveals.
Before investing in any wooden piece, it's important to do your homework. When purchasing solid wood, for example, make sure that the material is harvested responsibly and is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. "A furniture maker should be able to ensure the highest quality and that the product is environmentally and socially beneficial," he asserts.
At the end of the day, you should do whatever floats your boat—"not in the sense of whatever makes you happy," he laughs, "but more to ensure that it doesn't sink because it's made of an inferior material!"

Whether you live somewhere that's warm all year round or you just want to take advantage of sunny days, an outdoor space is a coveted commodity. Turning it into a true oasis requires the right furniture, especially if you plan on using your space for eating or entertaining. Choosing a patio dining set is fun if not a little daunting, as there are a wide range of options out there depending on the size and look you're going for.
Here, we rounded up the best patio dining sets for every budget and style.
Our Top Picks
The seven-piece set includes six chairs and a dining table, so you can sit with multiple guests comfortably.

This budget-friendly set is constructed from sustainably sourced acacia in your choice of two different finishes.

With its curved arms and legs and latticework pattern, this design nods to more ornate, traditional cast iron styles.

The wooden seats and metal base look right at home in industrial, modern, and rustic spaces.
Your outdoor space is your personal sanctuary, so it's understandable if you want to invest a bit in certain pieces to make it just right. Take this Frontgate set, which balances style and function for a gorgeous outdoor dining setup.
The seven-piece set includes six chairs and a dining table, so you can sit with multiple guests comfortably. Each chair is crafted of lightweight, powder-coated aluminum and features teak insets on each armrest for an elevated look. The chairs' crisp, white cushions—which are optional—are easy to clean, so you won't have to worry about any stains or spills. The set is complete with the dining table, which features a teak top situated on a powder-coated aluminum base.
Though this set is certainly a splurge, Frontgate offers a 10-year structural warranty on all outdoor aluminum, teak, and wicker furniture frames, as well as a two-year warranty on cushion fabrics, so you can feel confident in your purchase.
Patio dining sets are no small purchase, and if you're looking for something that can seat four or more people, most options will start in the $500 range. If that's out of the question for you, that doesn't mean you can't find something. Just check out the ASKHOLMEN Table and Chair Set from IKEA.
The budget-friendly set is constructed from durable, sustainably sourced acacia, and each piece folds flat when not in use, making it easy to store during the off-season. The 44 1/8 x 24 3/8 inch patio table can fit four adults comfortably, though be aware you'll have to buy your own cushions.
Though cast iron has long been popular in outdoor spaces, in recent years cast aluminum has jumped in popularity amongst people looking for new metal furniture. Why? Because cast aluminum is just as durable, lighter weight, and less expensive than cast iron.
This five-piece set melds the best of new and old. With its curved arms and legs and latticework pattern, the design nods to more ornate, traditional cast iron styles and would fit in perfectly on a patio alongside traditional cast iron pieces. It's only available in black, but you can add a colorful umbrella and cushions to give it more personality.
Pieces: 5 | Materials: Aluminum, slated resin | Umbrella Hole: No | Warranty: Not listed
What We Like
Great for standing and sitting
UV- and mildew-resistant
Stackable chairs for easy storage
What We Don't Like
Only available in two colors
Bar-height dining sets, where the table and chairs are elevated above the typical dining set, are an increasingly popular option and for good reason: They work for both intimate dinners and for more casual entertaining. With the elevated height, it's comfortable to stand at the table in addition to sitting, so friendly groups can squeeze in for a conversation. Plus, they have a more informal vibe that's perfect for outdoor areas.
This five-piece set from AllModern includes four chairs and a table, all of which have sturdy aluminum frames and slatted resin tops that are both UV- and mildew-resistant. If you're worried about the extra height making storage difficult, fear not. The chairs are stackable for the off-season.
What We Like
Small footprint
Durable construction
Water-resistant
What We Don't Like
Only seats up to four people
There's a reason families love sitting at picnic tables in the park: Those long, narrow benches are a flexible-seating secret because they can accommodate quite a few people for a cozy, casual meal. A bench can easily seat multiple children but also won't seem empty with just two people sitting on it. And it can take up way less space than four or five adult-size chairs. Benches are also a good space-saving option because they aren't typically as deep as chairs and don't have backs to worry about.
This bench dining set from Christopher Knight Home is an elevated take on the traditional picnic table with wooden seats and a metal base. It'll look right at home in industrial, modern, and rustic spaces, and it gives you plenty of flexibility to play around with colorful throw pillows and decor.
Final Verdict
Overall, we recommend Frontgate's Calhoun 7-pc. Dining Set (view at Frontgate), which is a splurge-worthy dining set that comes with six chairs and a spacious dining table. The durable aluminum frame can withstand the elements, and the white chair cushions (sold separately) are fade, mold, and mildew-resistant. If you want something more budget-friendly, go with the ASKHOLMEN Table and Chair Set (view at IKEA). It's functional, stylish, and perfect for small spaces.
Size
Finding the right size pieces to fit your space is probably the biggest challenge when selecting patio furniture. You want your set to be roomy enough to be comfortable for your family and friends but not so big that it overwhelms your space. Measure carefully, incorporating enough room for people to back chairs out and walk around.
Style
Patio furniture comes in a variety of styles, from sleek and modern to homey and rustic and everything in between. Patio furniture should complement your home's style and any existing outdoor furniture and landscaping. And if you plan to use it frequently, make sure it's comfortable and functional as well.
Material
A patio set's material needs to be compatible with its surrounding space and climate. If your patio furniture will live in an enclosed location or will have plenty of shelter, you might not have to be as selective as you would if your furniture will be in the direct path of the sun, rain, and other elements. Look for durable products made of aluminum or teak, and see whether they've been treated to be mildew- and UV-resistant.
FAQ
How do you clean a patio dining set?
Be mindful of what material your patio dining set is made out of. Cleaning wood outdoor furniture is best done with a moistened cloth and mild detergent. If you're trying to get out tougher stains and mold, you might want to invest in a pressure washer. If you don't have a pressure washer, you can use a brush to scrub your furniture with water and dish shop, let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, and then use your garden hose to rinse it down.
How do you store a patio dining set?
Outdoor patio furniture is best stored in a dry storage space indoors or under a tarp to protect from the elements. If you must store it outside, invest in protective covers to keep it safe. Make sure your furniture is clean, dry, and free of rust before storing it. You can even apply a protective sealant before putting it into storage to prevent any moisture damage. If you're cleaning fabric cushions, read the instructions on the label carefully for appropriate care. Let these air dry before storing them as well.
Are patio dining sets weatherproof?
Although some outdoor patio dining sets are weather-resistant, they're not 100 percent weatherproof. When selecting outdoor furniture, consider the weather in the area you live in. You might want to invest in sturdy materials, such as wrought iron, hardwood, or aluminum, depending on your needs. Wrought iron is wind-resistant and durable. Hardwood is known for its long-lasting potential, ability to withstand the elements, and resistance to insects and other decay. And aluminum is a material that is rust- and moisture-resistant, making it a good choice if you live somewhere that gets a lot of rain.

How to Calculate the Best Table Size for Your Dining Room
ErikaWittlieb/CC0/Pixabay
Congratulations on your decision to get a new dining room table. Choosing a new style of table can change the whole vibe in your dining area. It's important to choose a table that fits the size of your room so there's room for everyone to walk around. Taking the time to measure the size of your dining room and comparing your open floor space to standard table sizes can help you choose a piece of furniture that's a good fit for your home.
Determine the Size of Your Dining Area
Hook the end of a tape measure to something solid against the wall, like the door trim, or have a helper hold the end against the wall. Measure all the way across the room to the opposite wall. Make a note of this size, and then repeat the measuring process on the other two walls in the room. Multiply the two numbers together to determine the size of the room in square feet. If you're choosing a dining table for a room in a house with an open floor plan, measure to the edge of the area where you want the dining area to end.
Draw the Room
Sketch the room on a sheet of grid paper or enter the dimensions in a 3D room layout planning tool. While a larger open space around the table gives a room a casual, airy feeling, allow a minimum of three feet around the perimeter of the room for walking space. The remaining space in the center of the room is the maximum to allow for a dining table. It's easier to fit a small table into a large room than it is to crowd an oversized table into a tiny room. If you have extra floor space available after placing your dining table, you can adjust the way it's positioned in the room to enhance the flow of foot traffic and increase visual appeal.
Consider Decor Elements Around the Room's Outer Edge
Some pieces of furniture are big enough they're hard to move, making them almost a permanent part of your floor plan. If there are other large furnishings around the outer edge of the room, such as a hutch or curio cabinet, be sure to include the dimensions of those items in your sketch and in your calculations.
The Role of Table Top Shapes in Choosing Table Size
This is a tip you may see at play if you look closely at tabletops for restaurants. This is because restaurant tables are often packed in snugly to provide seating for as many patrons as possible. When space is at a premium — for example if you have a small dining area and can't arrange it to leave floor space around the table — consider a round or oval table. The rounded edges of the tabletop can allow for foot traffic.
Consider a Table That Has a Leaf
Choosing a table that has a leaf is one easy way to accommodate an occasional large group while enjoying the coziness of a small table. Just add the leaf when guests are coming over and remove it when there's a smaller group present. Floor space may be tied up with the leaf is installed, but it's also freed up when you restore the table to its smaller leaf-free size.
