Outdoor furniture collections

Collections group pieces by look, not by type. 12 here: industrial metal chairs and bar stools that share a frame, cafe tables for a few two-tops at the curb, light rattan chairs and a seating set. Use them to match a sidewalk row to the rail behind it. Then check each listing for patio use.

One frame, two heights

The industrial metal line is the clearest match. A distressed black metal outdoor chair weighs 14 pounds and is 15 1/2 inches wide; its bar stool twin weighs 19 and stands 43 inches tall. Both come in silver as well. Chairs along the curb, stools at the rail, and the whole front reads as one place.

Light pieces for a small front

Two rattan and aluminum chairs weigh 5 pounds each, in a black or a natural weave. Cafe tables round them out: a black metal table at 30 inches, an aluminum table with a faux teak top, and a faux teak top on a cast iron base at 24 by 28 or 28 by 28 inches.

A look is not a forecast

A collection tells you what matches. It says nothing about weather. The bolt-down cast iron base in the bowling alley group carries an indoor usage line, so it stays under a roof. Read the line on every piece before it goes outside.

Browse the groups in industrial metal chairs and stools and cafe furniture, then save the matched row and rail in an outdoor plan as two spaces.
