Black Patio Tables

Black metal patio table frames and tops

A black metal patio table is the workhorse of outdoor dining. Frames here are aluminum, steel or iron, and tops come in slatted metal, aluminum, black HDPE, sintered stone or solid acacia. Aluminum is light and does not rust, steel and iron feel heavier and steadier, and sintered stone tops give a smooth, stone-look surface on aluminum or cast iron. Weight ratings run from 160 pounds on several aluminum tables to 882 pounds on one steel table.

Black round patio table sizes

A black round patio table seats everyone facing the middle, which suits conversation and small spaces. Round tables here run from a 26.8 inch bistro top for two to 53 inches, a size that seats six. Square tables run 31.5 to 44.2 inches, and many round tables have an umbrella hole in the center for shade on hot afternoons.

Black outdoor patio table for six or more

A black outdoor patio table for six or more is usually rectangular or oval. Rectangular tables here run 55 to 74.8 inches long, and two extendable tables open to about 88 to 89 inches. The black aluminum oval reaches 81.9 inches. For a bar setup, choose the 51.3 inch bar table with an acacia top or the 35.4 inch square sintered stone bar table, about 40 to 42 inches tall.

Black steel patio table care and placement

A black steel patio table lasts longest on a level, well-drained surface. Wipe tops with mild soap and water, dry them, and cover the table or store it in the off-season. Dining tables stand about 25.6 to 30 inches tall. Allow about 36 inches of clearance around the table so chairs slide out freely.
