This table is also sold as a set with included seating, and you can even get it in a 124-inch version if you need more space. If you're also in the market for bar stools, a bar table, a coffee table, or other patio furniture, you can find matching pieces in the Santa Barbara collection.

Seat up to 10 guests at this expandable table from Frontgate with a convenient butterfly extension on either side that folds up and into place to expand the width from 72 to 108 inches. Made of high-quality teak with stainless steel hardware, this table is built to last and works well with a variety of outdoor setups. Plus, your investment is backed by a 10-year structural warranty for residential use.

Frontgate recommends placing your teak furniture on a rug, as the naturally occurring resinous oils can stain patio surfaces and cushions. A silver patina can occur over time on teak furniture pieces, but you can retain its natural color by applying teak oil regularly.

Relax in the shade with this umbrella-friendly table. The stainless steel frame is durable, UV-protected, and rust-resistant and features a faux wood grain on the tabletop. Since the table is black, you can choose a neutral or bright-colored patio umbrella based on your outdoor space’s color scheme. The 1.5-inch double umbrella hole design helps keep your umbrella secure in its position, and adjustable levelers on the feet prevent sloping in case your surface is not even.

If you enjoy hosting friends and family but have limited outdoor space, a round table is a great way to seat more people while taking up less room than rectangular designs. We love this one that seats up to six people and is weather- and rust-resistant.

Constructed of solid teak wood, the X-leg design and clean lines provide a contemporary and seamless look. A multi-step finish during production gives the natural teak a coastal-inspired look, typically a shade achieved with use over time. To clean, wash with warm soapy water using a soft cloth, and regularly apply wood oil to maintain the longevity of the finish.

Looking for a non-rectangular table but not a circle? Meet in the middle with this oval table from Pottery Barn. A 24-inch butterfly extension leaf in the center allows you to add two more seats to the table, bringing its total seating capacity to eight. To keep things cool in the warm weather, you can pop an umbrella in the center hole, and when not in use, place the included bronze cover over it. Have a slightly smaller or larger space? This teak table is also available in 59-inch and 87-inch sizes that can extend to 79 inches and 118 inches, respectively.

Dimensions: 71-95 x 39 x 29 inches | Material: Teak | Seating Capacity: 6-8 | Color Options: Teak

This simple acacia wood table fits two people comfortably and can even squeeze a family of four. Thanks to its small footprint, the table is an excellent choice for front porches and small decks. Just note that it has a water-resistant finish, not waterproof, so a slightly covered outdoor area is best.

The table features curved edges and toothpick legs to give it a modern feel, and you can choose between a teak or a gray finish, depending on your style. Wash and wipe it down as needed with soapy water, but avoid using anything abrasive or ammonia-based to prevent unintentional damage. You can maintain its natural tones with wood oil, but be mindful of fading that can occur in direct sunlight over time.

We love that the ice bucket is beneath the tabletop, so you don’t have to sacrifice your eating space and still get to have fresh drinks within reach. If you don’t want to use the ice bucket for drinks, it also works as a storage compartment for bug spray, cleaning tools, sunglasses, and other outdoor necessities, limiting your trips inside while enjoying your outdoor space. Constructed of sturdy iron, the table is coated in a multi-brown polyethylene wicker that’s weather-resistant and easy to vacuum or wipe clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What type of material is best for an outdoor table?

  “If it's wood, choose woods that work well for outside (teak is a smart choice), as some are better options than others," says Romanek. Teak wood is a great option because it is durable and can withstand a lot of different weather conditions. However, any kind of natural wood furniture will require a lot more care and upkeep than other materials.

  If you're looking for something that requires a bit less hands-on maintenance, consider powder-coated aluminum or steel, synthetic HDPE wicker, or other high-quality plastic and resin options. If you like an ultra-modern or minimalist look, a stone or concrete table could even be a good choice.

• How do you store a patio table?

  “You can buy custom covers for the table or move it in and out seasonally,” Romanek says. "Attend to the piece as you would any of your other pieces of furniture. Covering [the table] is great, but if it's left with the cover on, remove and wipe it down every so often because the debris from just being outside can cause issues.”

• How do you clean and maintain a patio table?

  “The material is a big factor since you can get mold, dirt, and water stains if you don't protect your table. A sealant can help, and a good wipe down of the table at least once or twice a week, especially if it's going to be left outside,” says Romanek.

  
  In general, you can wipe away small spills from any material with water and a bit of soap. To keep wood tables in good shape, oil your pieces regularly to prevent cracking and keep it hydrated. Put your handheld vacuum to work on getting debris from hard-to-reach spots in your wicker furniture, and avoid using any abrasive cleaners, especially on metal.
