Advantages

  • Seats a lot of people
  • Storage in the bases
  • Custom, built-in look

Trade-offs

  • Built in β€” not movable

Out for guests, away the rest of the time. The smartest small-deck furniture disappears when you do not need it β€” folds flat, stacks up, or hides inside a storage bench. Pick weatherproof materials so it can live outside, and pieces light enough to stow if your home travels.
