In short: Log outdoor furniture No. 15 is a set whose table and bench bases are stacked from round small logs, like the walls of a tiny log cabin. The tabletop is made of thick planks, and the bench backrests of live-edge planks fastened to round posts with wooden dowels. The size, the number of benches and the finish are agreed individually with each customer.
Log outdoor furniture on a terrace by the house
In the photo the furniture stands on a terrace paved with light tiles, by a red brick house. Behind the table you can see a window with flowers on the sill, a door with a bead curtain, and on the left a garden corner with a white sculpture, greenery and a blue folding chair. The terrace looks like an extension of the house, where the family spends summer days.
In these surroundings the log furniture creates a clear contrast. Red bricks, light tiles and dark window frames are urban architecture, while the warm, honey-colored small logs bring in the spirit of a country farmstead. That makes the terrace cozier, and the furniture its center.
You can see that the furniture is not new: it has already settled on the terrace and is part of daily life. Flowers, a garden sculpture and a light folding chair stand around it. This shows that massive log furniture goes easily with other things and does not give a heavy, cluttered impression.
The furniture stands right by the wall of the house, so it is only a few steps from the kitchen or the living room to the table. That is convenient every day: breakfast, lunch or dinner can be carried straight outdoors, and you do not have to walk far across the yard with trays.
A tiled floor suits such furniture very well. The log bases rest on a level, hard surface, so the table and benches stand steadily, and the bottoms dry quickly after rain. On a lawn or on soil such bases would get damp far more, so a hard base is almost essential for log furniture. If you do not have a terrace yet, you can build at least a small area of tiles or stone slabs under the furniture.
A table on stacked small logs
The table base stands out most in this set. At both ends of the table a support is stacked from round small logs: the logs lie horizontally one on top of another and cross at the corners, as in the walls of a log house. A horizontal small log, fixed with a wooden dowel, joins the supports.
A tabletop of thick planks is laid on these supports. The edges of the planks are rounded and the surface is sanded smooth, so it is convenient to put dishes on it. Narrow gaps can be seen between the planks, through which water runs off.
A table on logs looks very massive and sturdy. It does not sway, wobble or shift, even if many people sit at it. On the other hand, such a table is heavy, so it is worth placing it right away where it will stand permanently.
A base of stacked small logs recalls the traditional Lithuanian log-wall technique. It was used to build saunas, granaries and barns, so this furniture immediately recalls old farmsteads. The ends of the small logs are left round, so their rings and the natural cross-section of the tree are clearly visible.
A large tabletop lets you seat a big group. It holds both everyday family lunches and a festive spread: pans from the grill, bowls of salad, bread on a board. Because the table is sturdy and heavy, you can put heavy dishes on it with confidence, without fear that it will wobble.
Benches with live-edge backrests
Four benches stand around the table. Their seats are made of thick planks, and their bases are likewise stacked from small logs, like the table’s. So the whole set looks unified, as if it had been built in the same way as a log cabin.
The bench backrests are thick planks whose upper edge is left natural, slightly wavy, keeping the line of the trunk. The backrests are held by round log posts set into the bench base. Wooden dowels can be seen at the joints, a traditional carpenter’s solution that both strengthens the joint and decorates it.
The backrests tilt back slightly, so it is comfortable to lean on the benches. Because the planks are thick, they do not bend or wobble even when several people lean against the backrest at once.
The bench seats are wide, and their edges are rounded. It is comfortable to sit on such a bench for a long time, and it is easy for children to climb onto. If you want more softness, you can lay outdoor cushions on the seats.

How to arrange furniture on a terrace
In the photo the table is placed parallel to the wall of the house, and the benches are arranged around it. This arrangement saves space: only as much room is left between the bench and the wall as is needed to sit down, and the rest of the terrace stays free for walking and other furniture. A table by the window and door becomes a natural extension of the home dining room.
When planning a terrace, it is worth leaving enough room behind the benches so that people can get in and out comfortably. Because the benches are massive and heavy, they cannot be pulled out like chairs, so the distance between the bench and the edge of the table must be comfortable from the start. This is easiest to agree when you order, when the dimensions of the terrace are known.
If the terrace is narrower, you can choose only the two long benches, without benches at the ends of the table, or replace one bench with chairs. Such decisions let you keep the style of the log furniture and at the same time adapt to the space.
Where furniture made of small logs fits
Furniture made of small logs looks best where you want the mood of a farmstead. It suits a log house, a sauna or a summerhouse, and rural tourism homesteads, where guests gather around a big table. You will find examples of such buildings in the section log saunas and summerhouses.
As the photo shows, log furniture also goes well with a brick house. Against the wall of red brick it looks even warmer, and the terrace gains a coziness that modern houses often lack.
- On a terrace by the house. Close to the kitchen, on a level base, sheltered from the wind.
- In a gazebo. Under a roof the furniture is less exposed to rain, so the finish lasts longer.
- By a sauna. The massive benches and table suit relaxing between sauna sessions.
- At a farmstead or rural tourism site. Many guests fit at a big table, and the furniture withstands intensive use.
Log furniture feels at home next to other wooden yard products too: a wooden well, planters, a low fence of stakes or a children’s playhouse. When several such products stand in one yard, they create a unified, well-thought-out view. If modern solutions dominate in your yard, one log set can become a bright accent that gives the space warmth and character.
Care and ordering
Massive terrace furniture is durable, but the log bases need a little attention. The bottom small logs touch the floor, so it is worth placing them on a dry, firm base where water does not collect. Once a season, clean the furniture and coat it with an oil made for exterior wood, especially carefully the ends of the small logs and the bottom row.
Small cracks in logs and thick planks are natural and appear as the wood dries. They usually do not harm the strength of the furniture. In winter, if possible, keep the furniture under a roof or cover it with a breathable cover.
Leaves, sand or cobwebs can collect between the stacked small logs, so it is sometimes worth cleaning them with a brush. That way the gaps stay dry, and air can move freely around the wood. Light tiles around the furniture, as in the photo, help with this: dirt is clearly visible on them and easy to sweep off.
UAB “Laukbaldis” has worked since 1996 and, as the company states, was the first in Lithuania to start making this production. The company also makes log cabins, saunas and summerhouses, so working with logs is well known to it.
