The Best Time of Year to Order Your Bespoke Table

It might sound unusual, but when you place your order for a bespoke table can make a big difference to delivery times, pricing, and even the overall experience. Like many handcrafted businesses, we work to seasonal peaks. By ordering at the right time, you can avoid long waits, secure discounts, and ensure your table arrives exactly when you need it.

Ordering Patio & Garden Tables: Plan Ahead for Summer

Most customers dream of enjoying their bespoke patio or garden table during the summer months. Understandably, many people leave their orders until March and April, hoping for delivery in May or June.

The challenge? These are the busiest months of the year for us. Lead times can be longer, delivery slots fill quickly, and options are more limited.

👉 Our tip: Place your order earlier — ideally in January or February. These quieter months often come with seasonal discounts and better delivery flexibility. You’ll also secure your table well before summer without the stress of last-minute ordering.

Ordering Dining Tables: Avoid the Christmas Rush

For indoor dining tables, the busiest time is October through early December, as families prepare for Christmas gatherings. Demand peaks, delivery options tighten, and sales are rare.

👉 Our tip: The best time to order is actually August or September. By planning ahead, you’ll:

• Have more delivery options

• Avoid the Christmas cut-off deadline

• Enjoy more flexible scheduling (including free storage until you’re ready)

Ordering in late summer also ensures your table is fully acclimatised and ready before the festive season.

Don’t Forget Online Sales Days

If you’re bargain-hunting, it’s worth marking a few dates in your diary:

• Black Friday & Cyber Monday (November) – limited-time offers before the Christmas rush.

• Christmas & Boxing Day (25–26 December) – festive promotions and stock clearance.

• New Year’s Day (1 January) – a great chance to secure early-year discounts, especially for patio tables.

• National Prosecco Day (13 August) – fabulous one-day sale on all our Prosecco tables 🍾 — perfect timing to order ahead of the autumn dining season.

Delivery Flexibility: Your Date, Your Choice

One of the big advantages of ordering early is that you can choose your delivery day, subject to our lead times. This makes it easier to fit around home renovations, garden projects, or moving dates.

And if you’re not ready just yet? We’re happy to store your table free of charge for several months — as long as we know your plans at the time of ordering.

A Note on Wood & Environment

Because wood naturally contains moisture, it’s important to remember that placing a brand-new table into a hot environment can cause issues. Rapid drying may lead to cracking or warping. By ordering in advance, you can time your delivery so your table arrives in the most stable conditions.

Final Thoughts

Ordering your bespoke table at the right time of year helps you avoid stress, secure better prices, and enjoy greater delivery flexibility.

• For patio tables → order in January or February (or earlier) for the best deals and guaranteed summer enjoyment.

• For dining tables → order in August or September to avoid the Christmas rush.

• For sales hunters → watch out for Black Friday, Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, and our National Prosecco Day (13 August) offers.

By planning ahead, you’ll not only get the table you want, but also the peace of mind knowing it will arrive when you need it most.
