I’m hard to impress but these garden coffee tables succeeded

It’s my job to look at as much outdoor furniture as possible so that you don’t have to – not to mention that I’m an extremely fussy and hard-to-impress furniture editor – which is why my editor asked me for a shortlist of the best outdoor coffee tables that she could add to her garden. There are some great styles and designs around at the moment if you know where to look, so instead of gatekeeping, I’m sharing my top picks.

The boundary between our indoor and outdoor spaces is becoming increasingly blurred with every passing year. Most gardens these days feature an outdoor living room, which should be just as comfortable as the indoor version, in my opinion. That, of course, starts with the best outdoor sofa. But the right garden coffee table is another must-have.
