Hello everyone,

Where did you get your aluminum garden furniture? I would like to order it easily online.

In terms of style, I really like the "Catania garden table (197 cm / 78 inches), white and gray," for example.

Basically, I am looking for a very modern aluminum table for 8-10 people with matching chairs. The table should be at least 190 cm (75 inches) long. The selection seems quite limited at this size. The usual tables are only 150 cm (59 inches), which is definitely not enough for us when grilling.

Thank you very much for your tips

At daenischesbettenlager.de, the Kingston model is extendable. You can also find matching chairs there.

I’m currently researching sun loungers online.
Here’s how I’m doing it: I start by checking Amazon to note down manufacturers like rs-trade, beliani, kettle, sun-something, and then visit these brands’ websites directly, where you can often find more options.
But also sites like home24, Heine, Impressionen, Baur, Riess, OBI, and others are worth a visit.
For tables, I wouldn’t choose a really large one that you constantly have to walk around if it’s only used by a small family. I would go for two identical tables instead—one, for example, 100 x 100 cm (40 x 40 inches) for the second terrace—and then bring the second one out when guests arrive.
We have a common aluminum table, 1.80 m (6 feet) long, similar to your preferred one. We didn’t search extensively but found it in the clearance section of a local garden center near us.

I would recommend the Miami table instead.
The Kingston doesn’t quite match the idea.

I’d actually recommend the Miami table instead.
The Kingston misses the mark a bit in terms of what was expected.

I compared the Miami and the Las Vegas XXL (extendable up to 2.60m (8.5 feet)) visually.
I liked the Las Vegas much better. It’s darker and not as gray as the Miami.
So we decided on the Las Vegas. Of course, it’s all a matter of personal taste.

By the way... Last year we bought chairs from "Royal Garden" - Kensington (online) while waiting for the table to go on sale at the department store.

We had seen everything in person beforehand and tried out the chairs. Online, though, they were much cheaper.
I would still recommend seeing everything in person first, as the quality can vary significantly and some things just look quite different online...

Have fun

I admit that I have even bought toilet paper online once.
But never, ever, and again never will I buy furniture online. You need to see it, touch it, and try sitting on it. Everything always looks great in photos, but when you actually have the item in your hands (and the hurdle for returning bulky goods is high), disappointment sets in. I have seen this happen too often with friends; I don’t need that.
