A couple of things I would add to this is that you use a non reflective material for the table and chairs as sunlight can reflect of shiny materials and cause visual disturbance, also handbag hooks are useful to keep the area clear from obstruction and promote safety from the grab and run theft that can often occur from outdoor dining areas.
