The table Spring dinners deserve, only at @chairki The table Spring dinners deserve, only at @chairkingbys! 🌿🍷

Spring in Texas means one thing — we’re eating outside again! 🍽️ And I just found the outdoor dining set that’s about to make every single meal feel like a party.

This is the Eastchester 7-Piece Teak Patio Dining Set with the Bristol Extension Table from Chair King Backyard Store’s 2026 collection. ☀️ The warm golden-brown teak is absolutely stunning in person. It starts at 67 inches and extends to 87 inches, seating 6 comfortably for a weeknight dinner.

Made of plantation grown teak, the furniture construction is a combination of machine-made precision and handmade traditional mortise and tenon joinery — smooth, tight, and built to last for years. The dining chairs have a vertical slat design with curved arms that let your body settle right in. Adjustable glides on the table and chairs keep everything level on any surface. 🌳

Here’s what I love about teak — it’s the only material with a natural resistance to water, insects, mold, and mildew. Over time, it develops this beautiful silvery patina, or you can maintain the golden tone with a simple treatment. Either way, it only gets more character with age. There’s also an umbrella hole with a matching plug for shade on those bright Texas afternoons. ☀️

New for 2026 at ChairKing.com or visit one of their 22 Texas showrooms. 🏡

I just discovered the 2026 collection at @Chairkin I just discovered the 2026 collection at @Chairkingbys, and I had to share this one! ☝️🔥

This is the Siena 5-Piece Chat Set with a fire pit table, and it stopped me mid-scroll. Four oversized club chairs with the plushest cushions around a 58-inch fire pit table—all in this sleek coal aluminum with stone grey fabric that looks so elevated in person.

The craftsmanship here is what really got me. We’re talking fully welded aluminum frames with zero weld marks, solution-dyed acrylic fabric that resists fading, stains, AND mildew, plus a 55-60K BTU fire pit with a lid for when it’s not in use. This isn’t just patio furniture—it’s built to last and designed to feel like an extension of your home. 🏡

I love that the chairs have that deep, layered cushion system—foam core wrapped in polyester for the seats and a softer grade polyester for the backs. You can tell these are made for sinking in and staying a while.

Picture this: a warm evening, good company, maybe a glass of wine, flames glowing right in the center of the conversation. That’s the whole mood right there. 💫

If you’re ready to create an outdoor space that actually feels intentional and inviting, this collection is worth checking out. Visit ChairKing.com or stop by a showroom—they have locations across Texas in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.

We started out early for a very adventurous day and hikes almost 10 miles to view some of the world’s most beautiful sights. 

The hike to Delicate Arch was not easy, at all, but I did it, and that was a big deal for me. 

We then headed to Landscape Arch, Windows Arch, Double Arch and more, pushing myself more than I have in a very long time. But I hiked them all. 

This week of adventure with @swatours is awesome, exhausting, amazing, exhilarating, challenging, and everything you would expect from an all adventure tour, and I am so glad I’m here. 

On to my next adventure!
