Carter Dock Outdoor Dining Table
A solid-timber outdoor dining table with bold dock-inspired legs and wide plank top, designed and handcrafted by Adams Furniture in Dubai. Carter Dock brings a clean American coastal mood to villas, terraces, and garden patios across the UAE, pairing architectural lines with everyday durability in our desert climate.
 
Design Story
Carter Dock takes its name from classic dockside construction: sturdy uprights, generous timbers, and a sense of permanence. The top is made from broad, even planks with crisp edges and a subtle bevel that keeps the silhouette light. The legs read like twin piers—rectangular, grounded and set in from the corners so chairs tuck in comfortably and the table still looks airy from every angle. It’s an honest, minimal form that lets the beauty of the wood do the talking.
 
Materials And Craft
We build Carter Dock in premium, kiln-dried teak, a hardwood prized for outdoor use. Teak’s natural oils resist moisture and repel pests, while its dense grain holds firm against the sun, salt air and shifting temperatures common in the UAE. Boards are carefully matched for tone and grain, then laminated and hand-finished to a smooth touch that still feels authentically timber. Joints are engineered for stability with concealed reinforcement, so the table remains rock-solid through years of family meals and weekend gatherings.
 
If you prefer a more rustic character, we can select boards with livelier grain and cathedrals; for a refined, resort-style look, we’ll curate straighter grain for a calmer surface. Every table is made to order in our Dubai workshop, so you can choose the exact mood you want.
 
For clients who love the silvered coastal look, we can leave the teak unfinished to patinate gracefully to a soft, beach-house grey as this one. We also offer light toning for a warmer honey colour or a softly desaturated driftwood effect. All finishes are low-sheen and hand-rubbed for an elegant, tactile feel.
 
Outdoor Performance In The UAE
Dubai weather can be demanding, so we design specifically for local conditions. Teak’s dimensional stability keeps the top true; the plank gaps are engineered to accommodate micro-movement without opening unsightly seams. The underside is sealed, edges are eased to reduce wear, and the whole table is levelled and tested on site if you request white-glove delivery. With occasional care, Carter Dock will perform year after year in shaded or semi-exposed spaces.
 
Style Pairings
Carter Dock’s clean geometry works with many chair styles. For a coastal-luxe scheme, pair with our teak woven or sling-back outdoor chairs in Sunbrella fabric. For a contemporary resort look, combine with low-profile cushion chairs in off-white, sand or stone grey. If you prefer an all-wood narrative, we can produce a matching bench with the same pier-style legs. Lanterns, neutral tableware and textured linen runners complete the picture without competing with the timber.
 
Made To Order In Dubai
As a local, small-scale maker, we design, prototype and craft each table in our Dubai workshop. That means faster lead times, precise customization and direct quality control. Need a specific length to suit your terrace tiles, a discreet parasol hole, or adjustable glides for slightly uneven outdoor floors? We’ll build it in from the start. Your table is assembled, finished and inspected by our team of carpenters and upholsterers, then delivered and placed exactly where you want it.
 
Care And Maintenance
Wipe spills after use and clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For sealed finishes, a quick rinse and dry is enough most days. If you choose the natural, unfinished route, expect a graceful weathering to silver; a light sand and fresh coat of outdoor oil once or twice a year will refresh the tone if you prefer it warm. Use breathable covers when not in use for extended periods, and allow air circulation to avoid trapped moisture.
 
Why Carter Dock
Carter Dock stands out because it balances architectural presence with real-world practicality. The dock-leg stance feels substantial without being bulky, the plank top is generous but refined, and the craftsmanship is evident the moment you run a hand along the edge. It’s a table that welcomes breakfasts in soft morning light, long Friday lunches and evening gatherings under string lights—reliable, beautiful and made in the UAE.
 
Customization At A Glance
Made to measure length, width and height. Choice of teak grade and grain character. Finish options from natural to driftwood tones. Matching benches and coffee tables available. Optional parasol hole, discreet power grommet for outdoor working, and floor-friendly levelling glides. If you have a mood board or designer on the project, we’ll align to your palette and proportions.
 
Delivery And Installation In The UAE
We produce and deliver across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE. Our team offers white-glove service with assembly, placement and packaging removal. For coastal properties, we coordinate access and timings to suit site rules and will protect floors during installation. International shipping is available upon request with export-grade packing.
 
Sustainability And Longevity
We prioritize hardwoods that perform outdoors for decades, reducing the need for frequent replacement. Teak’s longevity, combined with repairable solid-wood construction, means Carter Dock is an investment piece. If, years down the line, you’d like a refresh, our workshop can re-sand and re-finish the top to look new again.
