For Dining
We now turn our attention to dining furniture, and when it comes to the modern deck, it’s hard to beat a slatted dining table with a matching bench. [from Danny Broe Architect]
For a similar look (at a great price), say hello to the Dockside II Dining Table and Dockside II Bench by Jonas Wahlstrom, available at CB2. Below we see two tables, paired to create one long dining space. Also note the mix of bench and chairs for a colorful, eclectic look.
You can also pair your slatted table with metal chairs for a dash of vintage/industrial style. Many of today’s top metal chairs can be used both indoors and out. Overhead globe lights are optional! [from New Eco Landscapes]

If you’re looking to introduce more color to your outdoor dining area, going with a vivid hue such as turquoise or lime green can really add a dash of vibrancy to your deck! [from Clark Kitchens and Construction]
Those green chairs above and the blue chair below are an iconic design by Karim Rashad. Yes, it’s the Oh Chair, and you can purchase your own through Umbra. We’re loving the update that pairs the vibrant seat color with powder-coated legs in the same hue!
