Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

Does your patio furniture have seating for 4 or 6? If you only have seating for 4, do you ever regret not getting a bigger table?

We are debating...the set I like has seating for 4, but I'm wondering if down the line we'll regret not getting the 6-seater. We do plan on having guests over during the summer, but its hard to say how many at one time.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

We have seating for 6. And so do all of our friends. Except 1 couple who has seating for 8.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

we have 6 & would consider getting 8 when we replace our furniture. we have guests very often in the summer.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

We had seating for 6 and upgraded to seating for 10 last year. We fill those chairs and then some!!! I also like having the extra table surface area when we don't have 10 guests.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

Ours sits 8 people. I think that 4 is too small unless you plan on only having two other people over all the time.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

Our table seats 8 and I wish it sat more but we have people over a lot during the summer.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

Ours seats 6, but we could buy extra chairs to seat 8 and it would fit around the table.
More is definitely better in this case...otherwise you are scrambling to find seats when you have people over.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

We have 8

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

More is always better - we have a set for 6 and woll probably add two more chairs this Summer, if we can find the matching chairs.

We had a round table with 4 chairs (still have as an extra table) but that fellt very crowded.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

I would go with 6 over 4

we have 10, and even when they are not full, the extra size on the table is great

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

6

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

We just got a set that seats 6 and already I'm thinking about if I'll need extra chairs. I wish we had 2 extra that matched, but we'll just use 2 other chairs we have. It will probably be pretty rare that we need that many.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

We have 6.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

DH and I just had this conversation on Fri - we liked the table that seated 4 better but, we opted for 6 because we wanted more space.

Also - the table for 4 we were looking at was higher so it would be difficult to pull extra chairs up to it if we needed to (since our extra chairs aren't high enough).

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

We bougth a set for 8. I would highly recommend if it is within your budget and if you have the room to get the most seating capacity as possible. I know that for us, we have more than one couple over at a time MOST of times and the extra seats are needed. If you intend to have a family one day and yout hink this set will last you for a while, you would want the extra seating for them too.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

Ours sits 8, but we could fit 10. We have large familys. I would go for the 6, but that is JMO. You can never have too much seating room I think.

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

we have 8 I would go for 6

Re: Patio Furniture-seating for 4 or 6?

I think 4 is way too small, I would go at least 6. The table for 4 seems cramped when you have anything on it.
