Any recommendations for decent quality supplier of folding teak table and directors chairs to go in ccockpit that will last but not daft prices
Thanks
 
I bought a solid teak table top some time ago from svp24, with folding wings and attached it to an old Singer metal base. Was for a patio, not a boat, but was outside and with regular oiling kept very well for the 4 years I had it. I remember it being the best solution price/quality wise after a fair bit of research.
Not sure if they do finished folding tables & chairs (seem to remember they did) but would definitely buy again from them. German company so probably made in Poland rather than China.
 
Have a look at the Kingsley Smythe website, we bought some teak garden furniture from them, some of which is now on our boat. Good prices, great service and very good quality.
 
These chairs and tables are ridiculously expensive.
And they seem such a simple design - particularly the chairs.
There are cheap and nasty alternatives but I wonder how easy it would be to make nice ones.
The canvas bit is easy.
I've done repairs to my two 19 year old chairs - both repairs to the wood and repairs to the canvas.

As Tim says, they are just daft prices.
It isn't rocket science - just need some nice wood and make them.
The tables would be more difficult but the chairs should be easy.
IIRC, Tim - you have the kit in your workshop to make them.

May have the kit but don't have the time (one day) :)

Mine doesn’t fold but have a look at their site
Quality excellent and mine is specifically for my boat
ie it drops down to fill the space for lie out cushions
