The average person takes a minimum of 30 minutes to one hour to assemble something as simple as a shoe rack. How long do you think it takes? Five minutes, maybe ten? Not even close.

And the time goes up exponentially with more complex furniture categories. Some people say they spent an entire afternoon just assembling a table or chair!

But how about Modern Patio Design’s commercial outdoor furniture options, such as a teak dining table? How long do they take to assemble?

They take no time at all! Modern Patio Design’s commercial outdoor furniture options come completely pre assembled. You only need to unload them from the delivery truck and set them up in your desired spot. That’s it! You can do it in five minutes tops!

Modern Patio Design’s commercial outdoor furniture has a lot more to offer you. Let’s explore the details.

Best Commercial Patio Furniture Pieces 2023

Build quality is mostly decided before any nails are screwed into place. This is because the materials you use to make your furniture are what truly counts. 

Among Modern Patio Design’s arsenal, you’ll find tables constructed from a wood type that is naturally resistant to decay and insects! There are even chairs with frames that can’t rust, no matter how much pool water and rain falls onto them.

Best of all, we haven’t even gotten into the more interesting pieces!

Patio Chairs

What’s the most important quality of a good patio chair? If you answered “comfort,” you’d be half-right. The other most important quality is effectiveness per dollar, as in, are you getting more than what you are paying for?

With the chairs listed below you’ll find an amazing number of benefits but most important is that you’ll be getting more out of every dollar spent.

Telescope Casual Gardenella Sling Stacking Arm Chair

The Telescope Casual Gardenella Arm Chair brings classic retro design into the modern era. The goal here was to take what worked in the past and then use it to rectify mistakes in modern design.

The most striking improvement is the amount of seating space it offers. Not only does it have a seat that stretches across, ample enough for all body types, but the sling fabric used for said seat is comfortable and lightweight. 

This lightweight design is only further enhanced by the aluminum frame that makes up its structure. The aluminum frame isn’t just a weight-reducing feature but a durable one as well. Coated in a special powder that has been baked into its design, this frame is resistant to rust.

It also won’t peel or crack despite heavy usage. While some may question the durability of this chair due to its use of sling fabric, it shouldn’t be much of a worry. 

The sling fabric used here is durable enough to last through the seasons and is resistant to tearing. However, it’s easy to replace the fabric without throwing out the frame should you need to.

Other key features include:

  • Stackable for ample storage
  • Sling fabric can be easily replaced
  • Frame is made up of stainless steel

Alfresco Home Semplice Stackable Iron Bistro Chair

Sophistication can be measured in depth and the Alfresco Home Semplice Bistro Chair has plenty of depth to its design. This is most apparent in its charcoal finish which pairs well with various upholstery fabrics due to its neutral color.

While there is much to laud about its appearance, the Alfresco Home Semplice Bistro Chair’s greatest quality is its efficient use of space. Due to their stackable design, you can easily store several complete sets in a storage room.

Their streamlined aluminum frame also makes them lightweight, which means you won’t have much trouble setting them out when needed. Efficiency is a theme that runs deep in this chair’s design.

In fact, even maintaining these chairs is a cinch. All that’s required is a light pat down with some water and a mild detergent. Keep in mind that any stains on this chair’s beige cushion may require more to be removed.

Other key features include:

  • Charcoal finish has weather-resistant qualities
  • Very lightweight design that makes these chairs easy to move around
  • Thin frame that extends upward for ample upper back support

Telescope Casual Primera Sling Supreme Stacking Arm Chair

There is perhaps no better usage of sling fabric in a design than the Telescope Casual Primera Sling Supreme Stacking Arm Chair. What sets this chair apart from the other sling chairs we discussed earlier is the amount of support that your upper body receives.

This chair is a true deep seater that is tall enough to cover your entire upper back and even up to your head, depending on your height. Its length pairs nicely with sling fabric, which gives a fair bit to conform to your body shape.

The swooped armrest design doesn’t force your arms into awkward positions. In fact, they don’t even take up enough room to bother you in the first place. As was the case with the Alfresco Home Semplice offering from before, the Telescope Casual Primera Sling Supreme Stacking Arm Chair is stackable.

In a sense, this chair is a perfect marriage of the other two options presented in this post. With its raised seatback and sling fabric offering a level of comfort that regular cushions can never match. This Telescope Casual Arm Chair is clearly a level above all others.

Other key features include:

  • Multiple color options for sling fabric are available
  • Sling fabric is easy to replace
  • Frame won’t rust, crack, or peel

Patio Tables

A good patio table is not just about durability. No, a good patio table also has to be the appropriate size for its setting. Not everyone is going to want a table for one. Fortunately, there are plenty of size options for you to work through down below.

Sunset West Naples Rectangular Dining Table

Imagine a table that has a surface that is scratch-resistant with a body frame that is made up of aluminum that won’t rust. Now imagine that such a table was not just real, but also affordable! The Sunset West Naples Dining Table is as good as rectangular patio tables will ever get.

Its feet are covered in non-marking plastic glides. These glides protect the surface of your floors, completely removing the possibility of nasty streaks and other damage. For its surface, it has a slate table top that is coated with a Graphite finish.

One of the things that completely downgrades the feel of an establishment are tables that look like detention room desks. Fortunately, thanks to said scratch-resistant Graphite finish, this tabletop won’t end up like a butcher’s table. 

This tabletop durability also comes in handy when it's time to put everything away. You see, the Sunset West Naples Rectangular Dining Table is stackable. Usually many are dissuaded from stacking tables because some damage always occurs to the table’s top.

However, that isn’t the case here thanks to this table’s Graphite finish and its non-marking plastic glides. 

Other key features include:

  • Powder-coated aluminum frame
  • Commercial quality construction
  • Weather-resistant outer layer

Sunset West Coastal Teak 72" Dining Table

The Sunset West Coastal Teak Dining Table’s premium quality is easily visible in its name. Teak wood is a much-lauded and incredibly versatile material, all thanks to its natural qualities. In fact, this wood type is actually resistant to decay and pests.

Its natural resistance can be attributed to its inner build, a build so unique that few other woods in the world can match it. You see, teak wood is naturally rich in oils. These oils are what protect the wood, preventing decay and rot from starting or setting in in the first place.

Teak’s natural oils also help it survive prolonged exposure to the sun and rain. All of these qualities have been inherited by the Sunset West Coastal Teak Dining Table. Natural grooves and other subtle design finishes have also been incorporated into said table. 

Its surface was made from a thin albeit sturdy teak layer. What this does is reduce the overall weight of the table without compromising its stability. Its pegs have also been shaped to maximize surface area grip and retention.

Other key features include:

  • Kiln-dried teak wood construction
  • Natural grooves in design for further style
  • Natural moisture-resistant oils in the build

Source Furniture Vienna 8' Picnic Table

Picnic tables make an outdoor space comforting and inviting. The Source Furniture Vienna Picnic Table does this with its warm durawood tabletop and benches.

Durawood is a synthetic wood material that needs little maintenance. You don’t have to wipe down every table surface in your afternoons. Durawood also lasts longer than many natural wood types because it resists wear and tear.

You don’t have to spend extra to replace the Source Furniture Vienna Picnic Table. This picnic table also weighs 165 pounds, so two grown adults can move it around easily.

Durawood resists the sun’s harsh rays and insects, too. You don’t have to worry about UV rays cracking or splintering the table surface or its benches. The Source Furniture Vienna Picnic Table offers a complete solution for redefining an outdoor space quickly.

Other key features include:

  • Made from recycled materials
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Resistant to a wide range of weather conditions

What Is Commercial Outdoor Furniture?

The best way to explain what commercial outdoor furniture is explaining its purpose. This furniture subset is designed and manufactured for use in commercial and business settings. Think hotels or office lobby furniture.

This kind of furniture experiences constant use throughout the day, by people of all shapes and sizes. Due to this, it needs to be durable and have a design and build quality that is comfortable for a wide variety of people. 

In other words, quality commercial patio furniture requires ingenuity to make.

Qualities of Commercial Patio Furniture

What form does this aforementioned ingenuity take? As mentioned before, you need this furniture type to be durable. Not just to withstand heavy use but also dynamic weather conditions. 

You can’t just place any old chair or dining set by the poolside, they’ll fall apart within weeks. The water runoff from the bodies of pool users will rot the furniture from the inside out. This rot leads to mold, which can have serious consequences for your health including:

  • Skin rashes
  • Irritation to the eyes
  • Worsening asthma symptoms
  • Wheezing and damage to the lungs

Aside from preventing rot from setting in, quality commercial patio furniture also needs to have a universally appealing style. This is by far one of the most difficult requirements to pull off, which is why Modern Patio Design completely forgoes this design mantra

Instead, Modern Patio Design chooses to offer a wide and diverse range of commercial outdoor furniture options. This allows any brand to find furniture that resonates with its identity the most. 

How To Maintain Commercial Patio Furniture

As you can see, commercial patio furniture is made from a wide range of quality materials and wood. However, despite the diversity of Modern Patio Design’s catalog, all of our furniture pieces share a common design philosophy, which is to “provide efficient quality”.

This is why, regardless of whether your table is made out of teak or durawood, the maintenance process for all of Modern Patio Design’s commercial outdoor furniture typically doesn’t require much from you.

Here's a detailed guide to keeping your outdoor furniture in top condition.

  • Cleaning: Begin by thoroughly cleaning your patio furniture. Use a gentle soap or detergent mixed with water. Scrub away dirt, stains, and mildew using a soft brush or sponge. Rinse with clean water and allow the furniture to dry completely.
  • Cushion Care: If your furniture has cushions or upholstery, check them for stains or signs of wear. Most cushion covers are removable and machine washable, making it easy to maintain them. Treat stains promptly with a fabric stain remover.
  • Wood Maintenance: Wooden furniture should be cleaned and treated with an appropriate wood sealer or oil to protect it from moisture and UV rays. Sand any rough spots and reapply sealant as needed.
  • Furniture Covers: Invest in high-quality furniture covers designed to fit your specific pieces. Covers provide protection from the elements and reduce cleaning frequency.

By following these maintenance tips and conducting routine inspections, you can ensure that your commercial patio furniture remains inviting and comfortable for your guests while maximizing its lifespan.
