Outdoor Dining Tables

Round outdoor dining table sizes and seating

A round outdoor dining table lets everyone face each other and fits tight corners well. A round table near 48 inches across is a typical fit for four people, and diameters vary, so check each listing.

Smaller rounds around 30 inches suit two, and some tables on this page include an umbrella hole.

Outdoor dining table for 8 and for 6

An outdoor dining table for 8 needs about 96 inches (8 feet) of length, allowing roughly two feet of table edge per person. Seating on this page ranges from 4 to 8, and the longest tables measure up to 97.2 inches wide.

For six, look for a rectangular or oval table around 70 to 80 inches long. Leave about three feet clear behind each chair so people can sit down and move around.

Extendable outdoor dining table options

An extendable outdoor dining table gives you a compact size for daily meals and extra length for guests. Some tables on this page extend, and the extendable models come in a mix of materials.

Check the listing for the closed and open dimensions and measure your space for the longest setting.

Metal outdoor dining table and resin materials

A metal outdoor dining table is usually aluminum, steel or iron. Aluminum is rust-resistant, while steel and iron do best with a protective coating that you touch up if it chips.

Some tables use HDPE, a resin that resists moisture and UV, or a glass or sintered stone top that wipes clean. Solid acacia wood adds a warmer look and benefits from occasional sealing.

Oval outdoor dining table and umbrella hole styles

An oval outdoor dining table seats a group comfortably along its length and keeps the ends rounded for easy movement. Select models on this page have an umbrella hole for shade, so check each listing if you plan to use one.

A cover protects any table through the off season.
