What is Alfresco Dining
Alfresco dining, is generally defined as outdoor meals. It’s not just about eating under the sun and sometimes the Stars.
It is a style of dining that is casual and often party-like in its atmosphere.
I have to say it is my favorite, informal and entertaining as what I do best.
Do I Have Enough Space?
Spacing Dining furniture on the patio is no different than placing it in your Dining room.
Measuring so that there is enough room to push back your chairs without any obstructions. Sounds obvious, but sometimes it is hard to accomplish. If there is Spacing issues you can use different Size tables from Bistro (3 Pieces) to Formal Dining (Up to 8 Pieces).
The goal is that you want to be able to get to your chair and out of your chair without disrupting your guests. Likewise they will want the freedom to get up from the table as well.
The goal is that your Guests feel comfortable and at home!
