1. Match chair to table height

Standard outdoor dining tables sit ~72–76 cm; chairs need ~45 cm seat height with knee clearance. Measure before buying sets.

2. Materials for Aussie weather

Aluminium stays light and rust-resistant; teak weathers gracefully if oiled; PE wicker needs a solid frame and UV-stable weave.

3. Stacking, folding and storage

If the deck doubles as play space, stackable or folding chairs clear the area fast. Check weight if you move them often.

4. Cushions and comfort

Look for drainable bases and removable covers. Zip-off covers wash easier after summer barbecues.
