Garden Furniture: folding table and dining set for Outdoor

FAQ

LAFUMA MOBILIER garden furniture is designed for outdoor use. They are therefore weather-resistant, and can be exposed to the rain without any risk of premature wear and tear.

Our outdoor armchairs, for example, are made from moisture-resistant technical fabrics. Some of them are permeable, so they dry quickly. Others have technical fabrics that are completely waterproof, to protect a padded area.

Our outdoor tables are also designed for maximum robustness, even when exposed to the elements. The metal parts, for example, are made from moisture-resistant materials: our steel tables have a protective epoxy treatment, while our aluminium tables are ultra-resistant to corrosion and offer enhanced UV resistance thanks to a 100% polyester paint.

To prolong the life of LAFUMA MOBILIER garden furniture as much as possible, it is still advisable to store your products in a special cover when they are not in use. This protects the chairs and tables from external aggressions such as pollution, dust and severe weather.

Also, when storing armchairs in a slipcover, make sure they are dry before covering them. Storage in a covered area may also be recommended during seasons when the furniture is not in use.

In the event of a problem, our garden furniture comes with a 5-year guarantee, excluding the professional range. We'd also like to point out that a wide range of spare parts are available to help you extend the life of your garden furniture. You'll be able to count on spare technical fabrics for the armchairs, as well as all sorts of essential parts in the event of breakage or wear and tear.

When you order a LAFUMA MOBILIER dining set, you can rely on our trusted carriers. Your outdoor furniture is delivered by appointment within 3 to 4 weeks, to ensure that you can take delivery. Our courier will contact you directly when they receive your order to arrange a delivery time. If delivery is requested more than one month after the telephone appointment, storage costs will be charged to the customer.

During this contact, you will be able to pass on the various information essential to the successful delivery of your products. For example, if your town has specific access conditions for delivery personnel in an area such as a city centre, don't hesitate to let our service provider know. You can also mention certain specifications concerning access to the home.

Delivery takes place at the entrance to the home. It is also important to note that for deliveries to buildings, the parcel is left on the ground floor.

POP-UP and SPHINX armchairs are delivered by DPD without appointment. For these products, the delivery person tells you the day and time of delivery. In the event of unavailability, you can reschedule the order and select a day and time slot compatible with your requirements.

Delivery of LAFUMA MOBILIER products takes between 7 and 15 days from France. So you can quickly enjoy your new favourite outdoor furniture. However, for larger items such as garden tables, delivery takes 3 to 4 weeks.

All our deliveries are made by trusted carriers.

For tables seating 2 to 4 people, as for the BALCONY and BALCONY II models, delivery is handled by the DPD transport company. Once your order has been confirmed, you will receive information about the time and day of delivery. If the time is not convenient, you can reschedule for a day when you will be at home to receive the product. When the size of the items allows it, it may also be possible to request delivery to a DPD relay point.

Delivery times are between 7 and 15 days. Small tables are therefore delivered quickly.

For tables seating more than 4 people, delivery is generally between 3 and 4 weeks.

In addition, it is important, whatever the transport company, that you are able to provide your delivery driver with useful information. If your town has special traffic regulations, don't hesitate to let our service provider know.

In addition, deliveries are made to the address given by the customer. The delivery driver is not required to take the furniture inside the customer's home. For people living in apartment blocks, deliveries are made to the ground floor.

The steps involved in assembling a LAFUMA MOBILIER garden table depend on the model chosen. What they all have in common is the simplicity of the assembly instructions, which are accessible to as many people as possible and require no tools.

BALCONY II tables are delivered pre-assembled and can be used directly by our customers. With seating for 2 to 4 people, they are ultra-easy to handle, so you can enjoy them straight out of the box.

The ANYTIME model comes with very detailed assembly instructions, and you can also use the Anytime assembly tutorial to understand how to position the frame simply on the tabletop, to attach the legs.

All the assembly instructions for our garden tables are available directly from our website. What all our products have in common is that they can be assembled even if you don't have any tools at home. Tightening tools such as Allen keys are included.

If you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact our team directly by telephone. Our customer service team will be delighted to help you assemble your table. You can also count on our top tips for maintaining your table and prolonging its life as much as possible.

LAFUMA MOBILIER garden tables are designed for optimum user comfort. Their dimensions are designed to fit as many different body shapes as possible.

Our folding tables, including the BALCONY II and ANYTIME models, are 73 cm high.

The size of the table is an important selection criterion, especially for tall people. A garden table that's too low can be uncomfortable, as you won't be able to position your legs properly under the table.

Tables are generally sold with a standard height of between 70 and 75 cm. What's more, our models are designed without bars that could get in the way when sitting.

Slightly higher tables also allow you to use chairs with armrests. If the table is too low, it can be uncomfortable to use and impossible to get close to the table, particularly to eat a meal in a comfortable position. They make it easier to store chairs and armchairs under or on the tabletop when not in use.

If you're looking for a lower model, you can count on the side tables available on our site. They are particularly suitable for use in conjunction with a sunlounger. They can also be used with low garden armchairs or deckchairs to create a cosy, relaxing corner on a terrace.

For comfortable use, we reckon that you need between 60 and 70 cm of space between guests. So, for a table that seats 3 people on each side, a length of 180 cm is required.

The calculation must be adapted to the user's morphology. A longer length may therefore be necessary.

The chair chosen to accompany the table also influences the choice of dimensions. For example, the chairs without armrests in the Anytime range are fairly compact. A width of 60 cm is therefore sufficient. If you opt for the comfort of larger garden chairs such as ZEN-IT, a minimum of 70 cm wide per guest will be required.

Our garden table models include :

The BALCONY tables, with their compact format, are ideal for balconies and seat two people,
ANYTIME tables can seat 4 to 6 people, and their folding format offers maximum legroom.

We also have a range of outdoor coffee tables that are ideal for setting up your garden furniture. The small VOGUE tables are very practical as side tables for one or two people, providing space for your personal belongings, smartphone, book, sunglasses. For a cosy, relaxing space for 2 to 6 people, choose our VENCE steel coffee tables or our COCOON HPL coffee tables.

LAFUMA MOBILIER garden tables are designed for outdoor use. The materials used in their manufacture are therefore resistant to the elements and sunrays. Regular maintenance and proper storage are essential for optimum durability.

Despite the use of top-quality materials in our workshops, it is essential to protect your furniture from external damage. Continued exposure to sunlight, for example, can lead to discolouration of the tabletop. When the product is not in use, in winter for example, it is a good idea to cover it. You can choose to cover the table with a protective cover designed for this purpose. If you have a garden shed, you can also simply store your table indoors, in a dry place, until the warm weather arrives.

For HPL tops, we recommend using an anti-UV oil to protect the material. This oil will also revive your table. Ideal for restoring the original colour of your tabletop when it has already been damaged by sunlight or grease stains.

Taking care of your HPL table also means cleaning it regularly. We recommend one or two applications of oil per season. If your garden table is used outdoors all year round, it will be exposed to pollution and dust.

Be careful, we do not recommend cleaning with a water jet or high-pressure cleaner. The furniture could be irreversibly damaged. We recommend cleaning by hand using a microfibre sponge.

Our garden tables come with a 5-year guarantee. If you have any questions about our products and their outdoor use, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department. We can also provide you with maintenance advice if you notice any abnormal wear or marks.

There are a few tricks you can use to significantly extend the life of a garden table. Despite the use of top-quality materials, your tables can be damaged by meals, prolonged exposure to the sun or the elements. A few simple steps can make all the difference in maintaining this key piece of garden furniture.

First of all, it is essential to clean the table thoroughly after each use. Food residues can attack the tabletop and leave stains if the surface is exposed to dirt for too long. A simple wipe down with a sponge and water is all that's needed after each use. It is advisable not to use the abrasive side of the sponge to avoid damaging the tabletop.

As far as exposure to the sun is concerned, HPL tables should be coated with a UV-protective oil. This prevents the tabletop from discolouring. If any marks appear, you can rely on our anti-UV reviver.

The table legs should also be cleaned regularly. Simply use a microfibre cloth with water to remove any dust.

We'd also point out that having a terrace sheltered under a bioclimatic pergola or awning is a real asset when it comes to extending its lifespan. This limits exposure to the elements, as well as to the sun. Tables can also be stored in a dry place, or covered with a tarpaulin when not in use during the winter (garden shed, garage, basement).

Finally, many people are in the habit of cleaning their garden furniture with a water jet or high-pressure cleaner. This cleaning method is not suitable for garden tables. It is therefore not recommended to avoid damaging your products.

At LAFUMA MOBILIER, garden tables and chairs are sold separately. This allows you to create your own sets, for an outdoor space that really reflects your style. There are a few tricks you can use to create harmonious combinations.

First of all, you can choose tables and chairs from the same collections. The ANYTIME and BALCONY ranges, for example, are available as tables and chairs.

It's also important to maintain a certain harmony in the materials used to design the chairs and tables. You can therefore choose tubes of the same colour to make up the legs of the table and the frame of the chair. This is the case with our BALCONY II Colorblock collection, which offers harmonious colours for a perfectly coordinated table and chair set.

When it comes to the colour of the chair fabric, you'll be spoilt for choice, as all our models are available in a range of colours. While some people prefer neutral colours for a simple look, others dare to experiment with colour. Our teams have come up with technical canvases in trendy colours, so you can add a splash of colour to your exterior.

Choosing your garden chairs is also a question of comfort. You can choose garden chairs with soft mattresses like the BeComfort® models for the cosy feel it brings to your outdoors.

To help you get started, we've included 3D views on almost all our product pages. So you can take a closer look at our chairs and armchairs before making your choice. From these 3D views, you can project our products in augmented reality onto your terrace or balcony using the AR function on your smartphone's camera. This makes it easier for you to see how they look and how much space they take up before making your choice.
