Whether you’re soaking up the summer sun solo or entertaining friends alfresco, outdoor furniture is a must. Take this dining table for example: designed to live outdoors, it is crafted from weather-resistant materials that won’t mind UV light beaming down or rainstorms rolling through, so it’s perfect for placing on your patio. Understated enough for any sunny ensemble, it pairs a black-finished frame with a textured glass insert on top. Winston Porter
