Casual Dining Sets

TL;DR:

Casual dining sets combine sofa-style seating with a rising or coffee table, so you can lounge and dine in one piece of furniture. Sizes range from 2 seater sets to large L-shaped corner sofas seating 6-8, and all are weatherproof for year-round UK use.

Why choose between lounging and dining when you can have both in one set? Our casual dining sets combine sofa-style seating with a rising or coffee table, so you can switch from a relaxed evening drink to a full dining table in seconds.

Whether you want a compact 2 seater sofa lounging set for a small patio, or a large L-shaped corner sofa with a rising table for family gatherings, we've got a set to suit your garden. Many of our sets, like the Nova Heidi and Nova Phoenix ranges, come with extending or rise-and-fall tables, so you get maximum flexibility from one piece of furniture.

What Is a Casual Dining Set?

A casual dining set pairs sofa or armchair-style seating with a rising, extending, or coffee table. Instead of formal dining chairs, you get deep, cushioned seats designed for lounging as well as eating. It's the set for people who want their garden furniture to work as hard as they do.

How Does a Rising Table Work?

A rising table adjusts from coffee-table height to full dining height using a simple lever or crank mechanism. Lower it for evening drinks and nibbles, raise it for a proper sit-down meal. Sets like the Nova Ivy range include this feature as standard.

Can I Leave a Casual Dining Set Outside All Year?

Yes. All our casual dining sets use weatherproof rattan or aluminium frames with quick-dry cushions, so they're built to stay outside through UK weather. We do recommend a cover for the winter months to protect cushions and keep frames looking their best.

How Many People Does a Casual Dining Set Seat?

It depends on the set. Our range covers 2 seater sofa lounging sets for cosy corners right up to large L-shaped corner sofas that seat 6 to 8 people comfortably, such as the Nova Phoenix and Nova Avery ranges.
