In short: “Daisy” No. 17 is a round garden table made of solid oak whose top is formed by curved petals spinning around a round center like a swirl. Eight chairs with three-petal backs and crossed legs stand around the table. The table diameter, the number of chairs and the finish are agreed individually with each customer.
A round garden table for a large group
In the photo the set stands on gravel, next to the edge of an asphalt road. Behind the table you can see a metal fire pit hanging on a tripod with chains, a dark wooden table and a white awning. The sun is bright, so the light furniture looks almost golden, and its shadows fall clearly on the gravel.
Eight chairs are arranged around the table: four on the far side, one on the left and three in front. The chairs stand close to each other, yet there is room between them to sit down and comfortably rest your elbows on the edge of the table. This shows that a large family or a group of friends can sit at this table comfortably.
A round table for eight is a rare solution, because for such a group a long rectangular table is usually chosen. But the round shape has a clear advantage: everyone sits at the same distance from the center, can see each other and can talk without shouting across the whole table. There is no “end of the table” and no “host’s seat”: everyone is equal.
A big round table suits more than a family. It looks good at rural tourism homesteads, recreation centers or cafe yards, where a group of people often sits at one table. In such a place a daisy-shaped table also becomes a memorable accent that guests like to photograph.
The fire pit in the background shows what such a table suits best. An evening by the fire, dishes from a pan or a cauldron, long conversations: all this happens in a circle, so a round table looks most natural here.
Petals curved in a swirl
A round disk is set in the center of the tabletop. Elongated petals fan out from it in all directions, but they are not straight: each is slightly curved in the same direction. Because of this the tabletop recalls not only a daisy but also a spinning swirl or a sun wheel. The outer ends of the petals are rounded, so the edge of the table is wavy.
Narrow gaps are left between the petals. They bring out the pattern and let water run off, so the tabletop dries quickly after rain. The rings of the oak are visible in each petal, and together with the curved shape they create an impression of movement.
A daisy-shaped table like this takes a great deal of the craftsmen’s work. Each petal must be cut with exactly the same curve so that together they form an even swirl. This detail is what distinguishes No. 17 from the oval “Daisy” table, whose petals are straight.
The curved pattern looks different depending on where you look from. From above the tabletop resembles a rotating wheel, from the side a wavy edge, and sitting at the table you see the petals seem to run toward the center. It is a piece of furniture you want to look at, not just eat at.
The round disk in the center is a convenient place for a vase of flowers, a candle or a bowl. Since the table is large, not everyone can reach its center, so it is worth putting there what does not need to be passed often, such as a decoration or a shared dish of snacks.
Eight chairs with petal backs
The backs of the chairs are made of three petal-shaped boards with rounded tops. The middle petal is the tallest and the side ones are slightly lower, so each chair resembles a three-leaf flower. At the bottom of the backs the petals are joined by a horizontal strip, in which the heads of wooden dowels can be seen.
Seen from the side, the chair legs are crossed like the letter X, and a wooden dowel is driven in at the crossing. This shape is sturdy and light at once: the chair stands steadily even on gravel, and an empty space is left between the legs. The seats are made of several boards with narrow gaps.
The finish of the chairs and the table is the same: light, honey-colored. Because of that the whole set looks like one object and not separate pieces of furniture. From afar the chair backs around the table form a wreath of petals that continues the pattern of the tabletop.
Chairs with petal backs please both children and adults. They are not bulky, so they are easy to pull out, carry or push up to the table when you need to clear space around it.
The chairs have no armrests, so they do not catch on each other when set close together. That matters at a round table, where the chairs stand in a circle and their backs almost touch. If you want more comfort for long evenings, you can lay outdoor cushions on the seats.

For a smaller group the round outdoor table with four chairs No. 9 will do. You will find all the models in the section garden and outdoor furniture.
How much space a round table with eight chairs needs
A large round table with chairs takes up a lot of space, so it is worth planning it in advance. Around the table you have to leave room not only for the chairs but also for people: so that you can still walk past behind a pulled-out chair. It is best to measure the spot and mark it with stakes or a rope, which immediately shows whether the set will fit.
- An open area. Gravel, paving blocks or terrace boards are an ideal base on which the table and chairs stand steadily.
- A spacious gazebo. A round table suits a polygonal gazebo nicely, because its shape repeats the outline of the table. You will find such examples in the section wooden gazebos.
- By a fire pit. As in the photo, the table can stand near a fire: just leave a safe distance from sparks and heat.
If there is less space, the number of chairs can be reduced, or a table of smaller diameter chosen. The main thing is that the people at the table are comfortable and a free passage remains around. If you doubt what size of table you need, consult the craftsmen: they will help you assess how many people will fit comfortably in the space you have.
In a sunny spot a light finish heats up less than a dark one, so in summer it is pleasant to sit at such a table even without an umbrella. Still, in the hot midday hours a large umbrella over the center of the table will give shade to all eight.
A table for evenings by the fire
The fire pit in the background of the photo is no accident: a round garden table and a fire go very well together. When it gets dark and cools in the evening, the family and guests usually gather in a circle near the warmth. A round table nearby becomes the place where dishes from the fire, cups of tea and snacks are set.
Eight chairs let you seat the whole group at once. The chairs are light, so as the evening goes on you can move a few closer to the fire and later return them to the table. That way one set serves both dinner and sitting by the fire.
When planning such a zone, leave a safe distance between the fire pit and the wooden furniture. It is better to put hot pans or cauldrons on a wooden tray or board, not directly on the tabletop. After an evening, wipe ashes and soot off the table so that no stains remain on the light finish.
Care and ordering
Once a season, clean the furniture and coat it with an oil made for exterior wood. Apply it especially carefully to the ends of the petals and the bottoms of the chair legs, because these places absorb the most moisture. From time to time clear crumbs, needles and leaves out of the gaps between the petals. In winter it is best to keep the furniture under a roof or cover it with a breathable cover. The chairs are usually easy to carry into a shed or a gazebo.
UAB “Laukbaldis” has worked since 1996 and, as the company states, was the first in Lithuania to start making this production. The furniture is made of solid oak by experienced craftsmen, so every table has its own pattern of rings. Even if you order the same model, you will get furniture with its own character.
