Buying guide
Wooden outdoor furniture in Kenya: what to know
Timber outdoor furniture feels solid, stays put in the wind and looks warmer with age. It suits verandas, gardens and lodge terraces where a set stays in one place for years.
Three ways to use a timber set
- Outdoor dining: the 6-seater wooden outdoor dining set has a hexagonal slatted top, six slatted chairs on curved black iron frames and a wide green umbrella through the centre of the table.
- Lounging: the natural wood outdoor sectional set combines an L-shaped sofa, two armchairs and a round wooden coffee table in a honey finish with thick cream cushions.
- A mix of both looks: the 5-seater wooden and rattan outdoor sofa set pairs a timber frame with woven panels.
Think about where the set will stand in the rainy season. A covered veranda keeps timber looking good for longer than an open lawn.
Wood or rattan?
Wood is heavier and steadier; rattan is lighter and easier to move for cleaning. Wood needs a little oil now and then; rattan needs a wipe. Our guide rattan outdoor sofas vs wooden outdoor furniture compares them for the coast and upcountry, and the full outdoor furniture range shows the rattan options.
Caring for timber outdoors
- Oil the wood at the start of each dry season so it does not dry out and crack in strong sun.
- Lift legs off wet soil or grass; stand them on paving or small pads.
- Bring cushions in during heavy rain and dry them in the shade.
- At the coast, wipe salt and sand off the iron frames and check fixings every few months.
Our mahogany care guide covers oils and cleaning in more detail. Most requests for timber outdoor sets come from homes and holiday houses in Mombasa and Kisumu, where buyers want a set that stays steady in the lake and sea breezes. Furnishing a lodge? See furniture for hotels, lodges and Airbnbs.
Before you order
Local Mahogany Outdoors: questions customers ask
Quick answers about delivery, the showroom and ordering.
Is wooden outdoor furniture better than rattan?
Neither is better for everyone. Wood is heavier and steadier in wind and suits a set that stays in one place. Rattan is lighter, easier to move and needs less care. Choose by how you use the space.
How do I look after a wooden outdoor set?
Oil the wood at the start of the dry season, keep the legs off wet ground and bring cushions in during heavy rain. Our care guide explains which oils to use.
Does the 6-seater dining set come with an umbrella?
Yes. The hexagonal 6-seater wooden outdoor dining set comes with a wide dark green umbrella that passes through the centre hole of the table.
Can I get a wooden outdoor set outside Nairobi?
Yes, we deliver across Kenya. Please send your location on WhatsApp for a delivery quote, and tell us whether the set will stand on grass, paving or a deck.
