Modern dining and entertaining are all about flexible spaces, and this is where stacking or folding furniture truly comes into its own, maximising square meterage and accommodating extra guests on a whim.
In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the best options to help transform your outdoor area into a chic, versatile dining space.
What are the perks of stacking and folding furniture?
Stacking and folding dining sets make a great addition to any outdoor area, helping you get the most from your garden and allowing you to entertain in style.
The main benefits are:
- Space saving – The option to fold or stack chairs away when not in use is ideal if you have a small garden or balcony, meaning you don’t have to limit how you use the space. You can have a stylish outdoor dining set-up when it’s time to eat and then tidy chairs out of the way to make room for play, a spot of gardening or even a morning yoga session.
- Flexible seating – Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner for two, a fun family meal or an informal feast with plenty of hungry guests, there’s nothing more helpful than being able to pick and choose your seating arrangement, pulling out extra seats or tucking them out of sight at a moment’s notice.
- Easy to move and store – Stacking chairs do exactly as they say, stacking neatly on top of one another and making storage a breeze when chairs aren’t in use, whilst lightweight folding dining sets are extremely easy to store and transport.
What’s right for me?
Whether a folding or stacking dining set is best for you depends on the area you have to work with and what you want to get out of your furniture.
In terms of easy storage and saving space, stacking chairs on top of each other will create a small footprint that can stand alone in a corner and be easily covered when you don’t need them. In contrast, folding chairs fold completely flat but often need to be leant up against something or laid down to store. If you have a shed or outdoor storage box, you can tidy folding chairs away without a thought.
Stacking chairs are rigid and sturdy, designed with comfort and durability in mind, and tend to be available in a wider variety of colours and materials, which is perfect for making a style statement. However, whilst they are ergonomically designed, stacking chairs don’t give you the option of changing your seating position or reclining in the same way that many folding chairs do.
