B&Q's many variations of wood table and chairs for the patio or garden are very traditional and although perhaps not the most exciting design wise, they are amazingly well priced. The Barcelona table and six chairs pictured here costs €406 for the lot.

Sure, the quality isn't spectacular . . . but it's not half bad either. Other models come in at about €500 or €600.

Visit B&Q in Liffey Valley, the larger of their two stores, to see the whole range displayed.
