If you like the look of a 6-seater patio set from Lazy Susan, then you’re not alone. It is our best-selling table size. Perfect seating for families and those who love to entertain friends.
It is right in the middle of our range size-wise, making it perfect for those who like to entertain but not so big that it fills your outdoor patio space.

Why is the combination of style and function so important for patio furniture?
We touched on this in our Ultimate Guide to Patio Furniture, and, in our opinion, it helps to create patio pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical to use.
When furniture is both stylish and functional, it can enhance the look and feel of your patio while also making it more comfortable to use and inviting.
We think that a combination of style and function is important in patio furniture design for 3 reasons:
- It makes the furniture more versatile
- It makes the furniture more durable
- It makes the furniture more comfortable
How will a 6-seater patio set will enhance your garden?
A 6-seater patio set is the perfect blend of good timeless looks with just the right amount of tabletop and seating options for how we get and like to spend time in our gardens - entertaining and eating good food!
A 6-seater patio set will enhance your garden in two big ways:
First off, it will allow you to create a designated zone on your patio for outdoor dining, which will not only make your garden more inviting but it will create a functional space for your family and friends to gather.
Having the option of 6 seats and the large tabletop space gives you plenty of elbow room for family and friends, allowing you and your guests' room to relax and enjoy food and drinks in your garden when the sun is shining.
Secondly, it will add aesthetic appeal, creating a stunning focal point on your patio, and connecting the space to the wider garden design scheme.
At Lazy Susan, we offer a wide range of patio table styles, shapes, and colours, so you can choose a set that perfectly complements the overall look and feel of your garden.
If you’re in the market for new, then in this post we want to look closely at why a 6-seater patio set will significantly enhance your garden and what you need to consider before you click “add to basket”:
1. Choose a weather-resistant material
First things first, when it comes to purchasing a 6-seater patio set, or any outdoor furniture for that matter, it must be fit for purpose.
Our collection is constructed from high-grade cast aluminium that is then coated with a durable painted finish.
This means it is 100% weatherproof and will require significantly less maintenance than most other materials.
Not all materials are created equal though and you can find out why we think cast aluminium is best suited to the UK climate in our Is Lazy Susan's outdoor furniture weatherproof? article.
2. Choose the right size, shape and colour
It is also imperative that you select a 6-seater patio set that fits well into the free space you have in your garden.
When the patio table and 6 chairs are in situ in your garden it is essential that the set isn’t too big that it becomes difficult for people to move around the space and sit comfortably.
You also need to consider the shape, whether it's oval round, rectangular, or square, and ensure it complements the existing layout, design and colour scheme.
Our What is the best shape garden table for your outdoor space? article is a great place to start if you need a little help in deciding which will work best on your patio.
3. Choose the right design style
Style is much more subjective but our advice is to try and choose a design that aligns with the overall look and feel of your home and garden.
Consider whether you prefer an ultra-modern, boho rustic, or classical garden look.
Our 6-seater patio sets are classically styled to create a more timeless look that will blend effortlessly and last for many summers to come.
Placing them in an ultra-modern setting could be tricky to pull off but they’re perfect for the average British home, be it period or new build.
We discussed this topic in detail in our Why metal garden furniture is best for new build homes post.
4. Make your 6-seater patio set comfortable
The key to good patio dining is comfort. A good 6-seater patio set not only needs a good table and chairs, but a few accessories can also really elevate the experience.
With our sets, you could upgrade to one of our wider patio chairs such as Jane or Kate so you and your family and friends can kick back in style on those long summer afternoons.
You can choose to purchase Cushions and save up to 30% when bundled together with the set to further up the comfort and bring a little pop of style and make your 6-seater patio set even more cosy and inviting.
If your garden receives a lot of direct sunlight, then consider adding a Parsol to provide shade and make your 6-seater patio set comfortable to use on hot summer days.
Our 6-seater tables are also perfect for pairing with our Lazy Susan Turntables, the perfect centrepiece for sharing drinks, nibbles or condiments at your next garden gathering.
