Outdoor End + Side Tables

An outdoor side table is the detail that completes a seating arrangement — the surface for a drink, a book, or a candle lantern that makes the chair or sofa next to it function as a proper seat rather than a perch. At Lulu and Georgia, the outdoor end and side tables collection brings together teak and hardwood side tables, powder-coated aluminum tables in round and square forms, concrete and stone-top accent tables, and all-weather side tables in proportions suited for placement beside an outdoor chair or at the end of a sofa.

What outdoor side tables does Lulu and Georgia carry?

The collection includes round and square teak and eucalyptus side tables in standard end table heights, powder-coated aluminum and steel side tables in drum, tripod, and pedestal forms, concrete and stone-top accent tables, resin wicker side tables with aluminum frames, and folding and stackable outdoor side tables for flexible patio use. Heights range from 18 to 26 inches to accommodate various lounge chair seat heights.

What height should an outdoor side table be?

An outdoor side table should be approximately the same height as, or slightly lower than, the arm of the chair or sofa it sits beside — typically 22-26 inches for a standard outdoor lounge chair. For a deep-seat outdoor sofa with lower arms, a table in the 18-22 inch range is more usable. The practical test: sitting in the chair, you should be able to reach the table surface comfortably without leaning or reaching across. Too low is harder to use than slightly too high.

Can outdoor side tables be used as plant stands?

Yes — an outdoor side table doubles effectively as a plant stand, particularly for potted plants that benefit from elevation to improve drainage and air circulation. A teak or aluminum side table at chair height with a potted plant on it adds greenery and vertical interest to a patio seating arrangement without requiring a dedicated plant stand. Use a saucer under the pot to protect the table surface from water damage; even weather-resistant materials benefit from not sitting in standing water.
