In short: “Round Terrace” No. 9 is a round outdoor table made of solid oak with a central support and four chairs with slatted backs. The set is meant for a small group and suits a terrace, a courtyard or a corner of the garden. The size of the table, the number of chairs and the finish are agreed individually with each customer.
A round outdoor table in the winter sun
The photo is unusual: it was taken not in summer but on a sunny winter day. The set stands on snow in which car tire tracks and footprints are visible. Behind the furniture there is a log building with a door of diagonally nailed boards and black hinges, and next to it a low fence of winding natural branches.
Against the snow, the light brown, honey-colored oak looks especially warm. The sun casts long shadows, so the slats of the chair backs and the shape of the table support are clearly visible. A photo like this is a reminder that quality outdoor furniture is beautiful in any season.
Of course, people rarely sit at a table outdoors in winter. But if the furniture stands on a terrace that you see through the window, it becomes part of the yard all year round. That is why it is worth choosing furniture that looks good both empty and covered in snow.
The light honey color gives this set a feeling of lightness. It goes well with log and wooden buildings, red brick or light plaster, and in summer with green lawn and flowers. The oak rings are visible through the coating, and every slat has a slightly different shade. If darker tones dominate on your terrace, a darker finish can be chosen, since it is agreed individually.
A table with a central support
The tabletop is round, made of parallel planks. Its edge is cut in an even circle, and the surface of the planks is sanded smooth. Thin gaps can be seen between the planks, through which rainwater or meltwater runs off.
The most interesting part of the table is the support. Instead of four legs at the corners, there is one central support from which four curved legs spread out to the sides. Their ends finish in round feet that rest on the ground. From the side the support resembles a tree trunk with roots.
This construction has a clear advantage: nothing gets in the way of those sitting under the table. You do not have to look for a place to put the chair so that your legs do not bump into a table leg: at a round table with a central support you can sit anywhere. That is why it is easy to pull up a fifth chair if a guest unexpectedly drops by.
The spreading legs rest widely on the base, so the table stands steadily. Still, on a soft lawn it is worth putting a slab under each leg so that the legs do not sink into the ground.
The edge of the tabletop is sanded and rounded, so you do not feel a sharp corner when resting your elbows. The grain of the parallel planks runs in one direction, so the whole surface looks calm and tidy. It is convenient to put coffee cups, a bowl of fruit or a newspaper on such a table: it is spacious enough for four people.
Chairs with slatted backs
Four identical chairs are arranged around the table. Their backs are made of vertical slats with gaps, and the seats of several crosswise slats. This construction is light and practical: after rain the water runs off through the gaps, and the wood dries quickly.
Seen from the side, the legs of the chairs are crossed like the letter X. This gives the chairs an elegant, light silhouette and goes well with the table support, whose legs also spread out to the sides. Whether these chairs fold cannot be determined unambiguously from the photo, so if this matters to you, ask when you call.
The chairs have no armrests, so they are easy to push up to the table and quickly pull out. That is convenient on a small terrace, where every centimeter counts. The slatted back leans back slightly, so it is comfortable to sit for longer.
Compared with massive benches, such chairs are lighter and therefore easier to carry. In autumn they are easy to take to a shed, and in spring to bring out onto the terrace again.
The slatted seats are not soft, but their surface is smooth and warm, and the gaps between the slats keep water from collecting. If you sit at the table for a long time, you can lay outdoor cushions on the chairs. It is convenient to keep them indoors and bring them out only when the chairs are dry. That way the cushions stay clean longer, and the wood under them does not stay damp.

Four chairs around a round table are a classic combination for a family or two couples. If you need more seats, you can order a larger table and more chairs, or choose an oval table, for example the terrace furniture set with an oval table No. 11.
Why choose a round table
At a round table everyone sits at the same distance from the center. Nobody ends up at the “end of the table”, everyone can see each other, and so conversation flows naturally. That is why round tables are especially popular for breakfast, coffee or evening chats.
A round table has no corners, so it is safer when children play in the yard, and it fits more easily into a small space. In the corner of a terrace or by the wall of a house it looks light and does not clutter the area, and it is convenient to walk past from any side.
On the other hand, a round table has a limited capacity: if there are many guests, a long table will be more practical. So a round outdoor table is worth choosing when mostly the family or a small group of friends sits at it.
A round table with four chairs also suits a spacious balcony, a sauna terrace or the outdoor area of a small cafe. It looks tidy even when the chairs are pushed in and does not give the impression that the space is cluttered. If you want two separate zones on the terrace, for example for dining and relaxing, a set like this can be one of them.
If you want a round table that is larger and with chairs in a different style, look at the round garden table “Daisy” No. 17, whose tabletop is laid out in rays.
Winter and outdoor furniture
A photo with snow is a good occasion to remind you how to prepare furniture for winter. Solid oak is resistant, but snow lying for a long time and meltwater are not good for wood.
- Carry the chairs under a roof. Lighter chairs are convenient to stack in a shed or a shelter. You will find a suitable place in the section sheds, garages and shelters.
- Brush the snow off the table. If the table spends the winter outdoors, it is worth sweeping the snow off it after heavy snowfall.
- Cover it with a breathable cover. A tight film is not suitable, because moisture builds up under it.
- Lift it off the ground. Slabs placed under the table legs keep the legs from standing in meltwater.
In spring, once the furniture has dried, wash it with a mild soap solution and coat it with an oil made for exterior wood. Coat the edges of the chair slats and the bottoms of the table legs especially thoroughly, because they are most exposed to moisture.
If the table stood outdoors all winter, inspect the joints of the support and the feet of the legs in spring. In the cold season wood swells a little and dries out again when it warms up, so parts may shift slightly. If you notice that the table has started to wobble, do not delay: a joint tightened in time will serve for a long time.
