Best outdoor tables and chairs for all gardens and budgets in 2023

This set ticks a lot of boxes. The charcoal grey colour looks stylish in the garden and it includes a parasol so you won't need to buy anything else. Plus, it's all made of weather-resistant powder-coated aluminium so it can stay outside all year round. The six chairs were easily some of the most comfortable we tested and we loved the fact each one reclined, making them perfect for lazy afternoons in the sunshine.

The set is easy to put together and the chairs came fully assembled so we only had to attach the legs to the table and open the parasol to be barbeque ready in minutes. The parasol itself has a crank mechanism so is simple to open and is larger than expected so offers decent coverage – just be aware that you might want to buy an additional weighted base to stop it flying away in the wind. We also liked the tempered glass top on the table which is easy to wipe down in seconds to keep the whole set looking its best.

Overall, those snooze-worthy reclining chairs and the fact it doesn't need to be stored away during winter make it one of our top buys. It is unfortunately out of stock at the moment, but you can sign up for be notified once it's back.
