Best Outdoor Dining Tables

1. Brunswick Teak Dining Table

The Brunswick Teak Dining Table is made to last with durable and one-of-a-kind teak wood. Each table has its own unique grain color, finish, and wood knots. It also gives you great versatility in two sizes: 48" x 48" and 54" x 54". We suggest the smaller size for groups of two to four and the larger size for groups up to six. Teak is an incredibly long-lasting material and is resistant to rot, mold, and pest damage. It's also very low-maintenance and can be used in any weather, making it just right for outdoor dining tables and furniture. Left untreated over time, it will take on a beautiful gray sheen. Alternatively, you can oil the teak with linseed oil once a year to keep its nutty brown color.

3. Monterey Metal Dining Table

If you live in a windy climate or have a yearly hurricane season, it may be wise to invest in a metal table, such as the Monterey Metal Dining Table. This table is crafted from strong, sturdy aluminum and comes in a beautiful black copper color. It also has a lovely trestle-style base that would fit in well with a traditional or rustic home. The Monterey Table comes in two sizes: 48" x 48" and 60" x 60". The smaller size is great for groups of two to four and the larger size can fit up to eight people. One of the things that makes this table so convenient is that it does not require any assembly. You'll be able to enjoy dinner outside the day you receive it!

4. Olathe Round Table

The Olathe Round Table is a fantastic choice for its large size and durable materials and because it requires no assembly. The Olathe Table can comfortably seat up to eight people and has an umbrella hole that allows you to extend your time outdoors a little bit longer. It is crafted from chestnut-brown all-weather, high-density polyethylene wicker and has a dark espresso glass tabletop. Because it is all-weather wicker, this table can be used in all weather and is resistant to fading and rusting. The best part? It requires very little care; simply hose it down with mild soap and water when it needs it. Relax and enjoy sticky popsicles with the youngest family members in peace.

Outdoor Dining Tables: Things to Consider

We know it's hard to choose just one outdoor dining table. For more info on materials and features, keep reading below.

Outdoor Dining Table Materials

With so many great materials that are made to last, it can be tough to choose which material is best for your family and lifestyle. Here is our take on the top three outdoor furniture materials:

• Wicker Dining Tables: Wicker is durable, lightweight, flexible, and comfortable. It is also water-resistant and aesthetically pleasing to look at. Wicker is not fade- or moisture-resistant, so it needs to be kept in the shade on rainy and brutally sunny days.
• Metal Dining Tables: Metal is strong, heavy, and made to last. Many types of metals, such as cast aluminum, are weather- and rust-resistant. However, not all metals are resistant to rusting over time. You'll need to select rust-resistant metal under the Premium Materials tab on-site to enjoy this feature.
• Wood Dining Tables: Wood is great for withstanding rain, direct sunlight, humidity, and wind. It also doesn't hold the sun's heat, making it comfortable to use all summer long. Wood furniture may require more maintenance than wicker and metal, so make sure you know how to care for it before purchasing.

Outdoor Dining Table Features

Aside from your outdoor dining table's seating capacity and materials, there are a few other features to consider before making a final decision:

• Umbrella Hole: A dining table with an umbrella hole is a must if you want to enjoy meals outside during the hottest part of the day.
• Assembled: A preassembled outdoor dining table is great for last minute get-togethers or for folks with limited mobility.
• Extendable: An extendable dining table is great for hosting a large group. It also allows for a more intimate dining experience if you'll only be serving a few people.
• Folding: A folding table gives you exceptional flexibility. Prop up both sides for a gathering, keep one side folded to use as a multipurpose buffet, or fold both sides for easy storage.
• Lazy Susan: A dining table with a lazy Susan has a spinner that you can place dishes on and rotate to give everyone easy access. You won't have to worry about anyone bumping elbows or reaching across you to grab seconds of their favorite food.
