In short: “Oval Terrace 2” No. 10 is an outdoor table with chairs made of solid oak: an elongated table with chamfered corners on crossed legs and four chairs with slatted backs. The light, airy set suits a yard, a terrace or the area by an outdoor fireplace. The table size, the number of chairs and the finish are agreed individually with each customer.
An outdoor table with chairs in a yard by a fireplace
In the photo the set stands in a yard paved with paving blocks. On the right rises a masonry fireplace of fieldstone and red brick with an arched opening, and a pot of flowering plants sits on top of it. On the left you can see a raised wooden terrace, on which stand a planter hollowed from a log with red flowers and a low fence of natural branches. The yard is bordered by a dark-painted board fence.
In these surroundings the light, honey-colored furniture looks like a link between the masonry, the wooden terrace and the greenery. It does not overshadow the fireplace and does not get in the way of moving around the yard, yet it creates a clear place to sit.
A yard zone like this is a real outdoor living room. By the fireplace you can grill or simply watch the fire, and at the table you can eat, talk and relax. A table with four chairs suits it perfectly: it is spacious enough for a family or a small group, but does not take up the whole yard.
The oak rings and the natural grain of the planks are clearly visible through the light coating. Each plank has its own shade, so even furniture of simple shapes looks alive.
The yard also shows a difference in height: the wooden terrace is raised above the paving blocks, and the furniture stands lower, on the paving. This is a convenient solution: on the terrace you can set up a relaxation corner with flowers, and leave the dining zone on a firm, easy-to-clean base closer to the fireplace. On paving blocks the furniture legs stand level and dry quickly.
The shape and construction of the table
The tabletop is made of long planks laid along the table. Its corners are chamfered and its ends slightly rounded, so from above the table resembles an elongated polygon close to an oval. This is reflected in the name “Oval Terrace” too.
The table is held up by two pairs of crossed legs, whose bottoms widen and rest firmly on the paving blocks. A longitudinal beam joins the two pairs of legs, so the table does not sway sideways or lengthwise. Crossed legs look light but are sturdy, and their shape is repeated in the chairs.
Small gaps are left between the tabletop planks. Rainwater runs off through them, and the surface dries quickly. This matters in a yard, where furniture stands under the open sky and is exposed to all weather, from summer downpours to damp autumn days.
Compared with a round table, the elongated shape has a clear advantage: more room is left on the table for dishes, bowls and drinks, and if necessary an extra chair can be added at the ends.
If you need other dimensions, for example a longer or wider table, it is worth saying so when you order, because the sizes are agreed individually. The same can be said of the chairs: their number is easy to adapt to the size of the family and the guests who visit most often.
Four chairs with slatted backs
Four identical chairs stand around the table. Their backs are made of several vertical slats with gaps, and the seats of crosswise slats. This construction is light, lets air through well and dries quickly after rain.
Seen from the side, the chair legs are crossed like the letter X. Such a silhouette looks elegant and goes with the table legs. It is not clear from the photo whether the chairs fold, so it is worth asking about it when you order.
The chairs have no armrests. Because of that they are easy to push up to the table when you want to clear the yard, and quick to pull out when a guest sits down. Lighter chairs are also easy to carry, for example closer to the fireplace when you want to warm up by the fire in the evening.
The slatted back leans back slightly, so it is comfortable to lean on the chair. On a cooler evening you can lay a cushion or a blanket on the seat.
The slats and legs of the chairs are made of the same solid oak as the table, so the whole set ages in the same way: the color changes evenly, and care is the same for all the furniture. This is convenient: you do not need different products or a different care routine for the chairs and the table.

This set is close to the terrace furniture set with six chairs No. 11, but its finish is lighter and it is meant for a smaller group. If you want a round table, compare it with the round outdoor table No. 9.
There are no benches in this set: everyone sits separately. This is convenient when adults sit at the table and everyone wants their own seat. The chairs can also be arranged more freely: two along the long sides of the table and two at the ends, or all four along the long sides if the table stands by a wall.
Furniture next to an outdoor fireplace: what to know
A table by a fireplace is one of the coziest solutions for a yard. Still, fire and wood call for caution, so it is worth following a few simple rules.
- Keep a distance. Place the table and chairs so that sparks do not fall on them and the direct heat of the fireplace does not reach them.
- Do not put hot dishes straight on the tabletop. It is better to put a frying pan or a grill grate from the fire on a wooden tray or board.
- Clean off ashes and soot. The wind may carry ashes onto the furniture, so it is worth wiping the table after an evening by the fire.
- Provide lighting. In the evening it is convenient to have a lamp or a lantern at the table so that you do not have to sit in the firelight alone.
A fireplace extends the outdoor season. On autumn evenings, when it is already cool, it is still pleasant to sit by the fire with hot tea, and the table next to it becomes a place for cups and snacks. So furniture by a fireplace is used more often and longer than in other places in the yard, and this is worth taking into account when planning its care.
The yard can be complemented with other wooden items too: in the photo on the left you can see a corner shelf on the terrace. You will find similar products in the section lamps, shelves and chests of drawers.
Caring for a light finish
A light finish brings out the oak pattern, but dirt, ashes or water stains show more on it. So it is worth cleaning this set a little more often than furniture with a dark finish. Usually a damp cloth or a mild soap solution is enough, and it is better not to use strong cleaners.
Once a season, on a dry day, coat the furniture with an oil made for exterior wood. Coat the edges of the chair slats and the bottoms of the legs especially carefully, because that is where the wood absorbs the most moisture. Legs standing on paving blocks dry quickly after rain, but sand and leaves that collect between the blocks can hold moisture longer, so it is worth sweeping the yard regularly.
In winter it is best to carry the chairs under a roof and cover the table with a breathable cover, or carry it into a dry place as well.
If grease or soot stains appear on the tabletop, wipe them off as soon as possible with warm water and mild soap. Old stains can be carefully sanded with fine sandpaper and the spot coated with oil again. That way the light surface will stay even for a long time.
