This is an outdoor dining table worth planning a party around. Made of high-quality acacia wood with a gorgeously smooth slatted construction, it comes in various seating configurations with your choice of benches or armchairs. (Of course, we think the benches complete the wood picnic table look.)

The table is also unique from others in this guide in that it can extend from 55 to 79 inches. It separates in the middle, revealing a hidden center that flips into place: This also provides a slot for a patio umbrella that the short version of the table doesn't have!

Those with extra small or narrow outdoor areas need to get savvy about using their space to its full potential. This wooden picnic table pulls double duty as a bench, so you can switch it up as the seasons change.

Our editor assembled and tested out this wooden picnic table, and while she notes that it isn't the most heavy-duty in its table form, it does provide a cute outdoor entertaining space for small-scale gatherings.

She says, "With a weight capacity of 380 pounds, it's really only possible to seat two to three adults [at the table] without worrying ... When converted into a bench, it can comfortably seat two people, and feels super sturdy with the rest of the table components folded up underneath it."

Assembly was easy, she says, “once you master the skill of holding a screw with a socket wrench in one hand and tightening it with the other.” It takes about an hour to put together if you have a friend (and a power drill) to assist you.

This classic-style wood picnic table is crafted of rot- and insect-resistant western red cedar ... and it's unfinished, so you can stain, paint, or treat the wood however you'd like.

It does require assembly, and weighs in at about 100 pounds, making it more of a fixed backyard structure. Although the brand says that the pieces are pre-drilled, reviewers say they are not. So, make sure you have access to a drill!

If you live for DIY projects and prefer a customizable kit to one-size-fits-all instructions, this is the wooden picnic table for you.

This wooden picnic table only comes with sand-colored resin table legs — no lumber at all! This means that you can choose for yourself how long you'd like your table and chairs to be, and exactly how you want them to look.

Some reviewers even buy two or three of these kits to make custom, extra-long tables and benches with reclaimed lumber that would otherwise cost a fortune.

This park- and tailgate-friendly four-seater folds up into a suitcase (complete with handle!) for easy transport to your favorite outdoor spot. Its wooden surfaces and seats are supported by an aluminum frame, and it weighs just under 20 pounds in its folded-up form.

When fully expanded, however, this wooden picnic table can accommodate up to 190 pounds per seat. It even has an umbrella hole!

Whether you plan on hosting weekend potlucks with the neighbors or just want to take your regular Tuesday night dinner outdoors, this wooden picnic table is a great foundational piece for your feast.

Made of untreated fir wood, this round picnic table comfortably seats six people and provides plenty of legroom underneath. It's equipped to hold a patio umbrella at its center, too.

If a wooden picnic table isn't practical for your year-round setup, have this affordable folding set on hand. The biergarten-style tabletop is a slim 20 inches wide but a lengthy 71 inches long, comfortably seating about two adults per side.

Each piece comprises a lightweight wooden top with sturdy metal legs that fold underneath to carry and stow away. Some users do note that the wood scratches easily, though, so use caution when transporting it.

The kids’ table just got a major style upgrade! This 19-inch-tall wood picnic table comes with two cushioned benches and even an umbrella, so it’s perfectly sized for seating four kids at a time. We love that this small-sized set has elevated style, yet the benches are lightweight enough for kids to move on their own.

Some reviewers note that the fir-wood construction is not weather-resistant, so either plan to use this in a covered area or treat it to help ensure that it can hold up to moisture exposure.

Dine outdoors in style with this teak and steel picnic table set from Novogratz. Four people can be seated comfortably, and each bench holds up to 500 pounds.
