Outdoor Dining Table Seating
It's important to know how many people you plan on seating when looking for an outdoor dining table. Just you and a few friends? Then you might get away with a 4 seat table. However, if you have a family or plan on entertaining big groups, the 6 to 8 seat tables would be a better fit.

Which Outdoor Dining Table Shape Is Right for You?
Choosing your perfect outdoor dining table can be a challenge. But, if you're having trouble narrowing down your options, just start with the shape. Each table shape has its advantages and limitations. Picking the right shape for the right circumstances will set you up for success.
Round & Oval Outdoor Dining Tables
If you don't have an overabundance of space on your patio and you're not planning on throwing grand dinner parties in your backyard, around your outdoor dining table may make a lot of sense. Round tables are excellent for intimate settings and make the most of limited space. Plus, that's what King Arthur used as his table of choice.
Square Outdoor Dining Tables
This type of table also works if the dining area of your outdoor patio is on the smaller side. From a room design perspective, square tables look best in square rooms, or, for outdoor spaces, square-shaped patios or decks. Like with round tables, square outdoor dining tables put everyone on the same footing... no head of the table here.
Rectangular Outdoor Dining Tables
Most dining tables are rectangular, whether they're indoors or outside. Provided you have space, a rectangular outdoor dining table offers the benefit of added seating capacity and allows you to put more food on the table. No running back inside between courses.
Choose Your Outdoor Dining Table Material
If after selecting your preferred table shape you still have too many options to consider, pick the material you like best.
Wood
Our wood outdoor dining tables are made from teak. Teak is one of the strongest and most durable hardwood materials. Outdoor tables made from teak require little maintenance, as they tend to be both weather-resistant (repel moisture) and pest-resistant (natural oil repels insects like termites).
Metal & Aluminum
At Bassett, you'll find a number of excellent outdoor dining tables made from aluminum. The metal is a high-strength and durable material. Aluminum also does not rust, allowing your table to remain in great condition year-round.
Wicker
Bassett's wicker outdoor dining tables are made from high-performance wicker resin. This synthetic material offers some advantages over the natural (rattan) version, especially when used outdoors. Synthetic wicker is better able to stand up to outdoor elements, such as heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, while still maintaining it's elegant appearance.
Teak
Teak is a tropical hardwood known for its durability. Some say that teak is the best material for outdoor furniture and especially outdoor dining tables because when cared for, it's known to last up to 100 years before breaking down.
