Designing your outdoor space for summer starts with the right table.
Crafted for Connection. Built to Last.
When the sun is shining and the days stretch long into evening, there’s no better way to gather than around a beautiful outdoor table. Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ or enjoying quiet mornings with coffee and birdsong, a custom outdoor table can transform your space and your summer.
But how do you choose the right one? Here’s what to consider:
---
1. Choose the Right Wood for the Elements
Outdoor furniture needs to withstand the sun, rain, and changing temperatures. We recommend durable hardwoods like teak, white oak, or ipe, which resist moisture and weather beautifully with time. These woods not only offer longevity, but they also age gracefully, developing rich tones and texture.

2. Consider Your Hosting Style
Are you planning intimate dinners for four, or are you the house everyone gathers at for summer birthdays and celebrations?
Round or square tables are perfect for cozy patios.
Long trestle or Parsons-style tables offer a timeless look and generous space for larger gatherings.
Don't forget matching benches or outdoor-friendly chairs to complete the look.

3. Design for Function + Flow
A table should work with your outdoor layout, not against it. We help clients consider:
Shade and sunlight patterns
Proximity to outdoor kitchens or fire pits
How much walking space is needed around the table
Whether you want a centerpiece space, like an umbrella hole or integrated planter
---
4. Choose a Finish That Works Hard and Looks Beautiful
For outdoor use, we recommend finishes like Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector in natural tones that highlight the wood’s grain while providing solid protection. You can also opt for a weathered gray finish if you prefer a relaxed coastal feel.

5. Make It Yours
The beauty of a custom table is in the details. Want to match your deck color? Need slightly narrower dimensions to fit your space? Prefer a sculpted leg profile or simple modern silhouette? We craft your outdoor table to fit your home, your style, and your story.
