Bring the beauty and unique character of natural stone to your outdoor dining experience. A natural stone outdoor dining table is a fantastic option for almost every type of outdoor space. Natural stone tables will compliment and enhance both timber and paved outdoor dining areas. See the gallery below for inspiration. By utilising the same materials as used for centuries in some of the world's greatest buildings means that these pieces of outdoor furniture are built to last.
When it comes to furniture materials suitable for extended life in the Australian outdoors it is hard to go past aluminium. It is very light and will not rust which makes perfect for any number of applications.
