The garden is the perfect place to enjoy a morning cuppa, sit with a book and brew in hand, or share a pot of tea with friends. You can bask in the warmth of the sun and drink in the beautiful sights and sounds of your garden as you sip your favourite drink - bliss!
With an outdoor coffee table by your side to rest your drink, you can leave your hands free and save your beverage from being knocked over if precariously placed on the floor.
Available all for under £250, our pick of the best outdoor coffee tables will be able to provide a beautiful, practical, and stylish statement on your patio. They're low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and most are lightweight enough to move around the garden to chase the sun.
