Outdoor Coffee Tables

An outdoor coffee table completes the outdoor living room — it gives the seating arrangement a center, provides a surface for drinks and objects, and does the same spatial work indoors that a coffee table does. At Lulu and Georgia, the outdoor coffee tables collection brings together teak and hardwood tables, concrete and stone-top tables, powder-coated aluminum tables, and all-weather wicker tables in proportions suited to outdoor sofas and lounge chairs — each chosen for material durability and the visual quality of the form.

What outdoor coffee tables does Lulu and Georgia carry?

The collection includes teak and eucalyptus coffee tables in slatted and solid top constructions, concrete and stone-top tables on powder-coated aluminum or steel bases, resin wicker coffee tables with glass or aluminum tops, and all-weather storage ottomans that function as coffee tables. Most tables are available in standard coffee table heights of 14-18 inches. Round, rectangular, and square formats are all represented; some styles include lower storage shelves.

What outdoor coffee table material requires the least maintenance?

Powder-coated aluminum tables require the least maintenance of any outdoor material — they do not rust, fade, or require seasonal treatment beyond a rinse. Concrete and stone-top tables are similarly low-maintenance but very heavy and difficult to move. Teak requires annual oiling to maintain its warm color but is structurally the most durable of wood options; left untreated, teak weathers to a silver-grey patina that many homeowners prefer. All-weather resin wicker over aluminum frames are also low-maintenance and appropriate for year-round outdoor use in most climates.

What size coffee table works with an outdoor sofa?

For an outdoor sofa, a coffee table should be approximately the same length as the sofa or slightly shorter — never longer. Standard outdoor coffee table height is 14-18 inches, close to the seat height of a deep-seat outdoor sofa (typically 12-16 inches). Leave 12-18 inches of clearance between the sofa and the table front to allow comfortable access. For a sectional, a square or round table centered in the configuration works better than a long rectangular table.
