Looking for something different to outdoor timber, aluminium & wicker furniture?
No worries, look no further! We have a great range of Stone, Ceramic & Concrete Tables that can be matched with a variety of chair types.
Natural Stone
Bring the beauty and unique character of natural Stone to your outdoor dining area. We predominantly range tables using Marble and Travertine. Both are forms of limestone, occur naturally and are used extensively as premium building materials.

- The table top will remain cooler than some other materials
- Strong & Durable
- Low maintenance & suitable for all weather conditions
- Will not warp or bow
- Neutral Stone Colours will match nicely with other chair styles and materials
Care & Maintenance:
- Natural Stone is porous & will require sealing every 6-12 moths using a Premium Aerosol Sealer
- Coasters should be used to prevent stains & scratches
- Wipe spills up immediately
- Do not use abrasive or acid based products on Stone
Concrete
It is easy to see why Concrete is increasingly popular as a material for outdoor Tables, gone are the days when concrete was boring. Create a minimalist look with your outdoor dining space or enrich any existing outdoor area style from country to contemporary, industrial, and from traditional to modern.

- Handcrafted, inherent variations in the colour/shading lend to the unique character, texture and porosity to each product
Care & Maintenance:
- Concrete will expand and contract in various temperature & humidity, it is natural for hairline cracks to appear over the life time of product (these are not defects but part of the products interaction with its environment and does not pose a a constructional threat to the furniture.
