The best picks, from the portable to the permanent.
There's something extra inviting about a backyard picnic table. Its bench seating is informal yet cozy, encouraging family-style helpings, lively conversation, and extra pours of drinks.
Picnic tables are available in a wide variety of configurations — some have bench seating (attached and not), others have individual seats, some are made completely of wood, others have a faux-wood look for less maintenance in the long run. Some are intended to be permanently placed in a backyard, folded up for off-season storage, or even transported from place to place.
This guide aims to highlight the best of each type of design and purpose by consulting the products’ user reviews — we specifically looked for feedback on the tables’ assembly, look, and durability over time. Whether you want the right table-and-seat combo for year-round or fair-weather enjoyment only, these are the 10 best wooden picnic tables for taking your alfresco festivities to the next level.
