Patio Tables

Outdoor Furniture Tables
When you have an outdoor party, it is a good idea to have a table to sit at.  There are many choices in todays market.

Plastic
Plastic isn’t a classy look, but it is inexpensive, won’t rust, and durable.  Many of todays patio tables are of this variety.

Wrought Iron
Wrought iron is very sturdy and is sometimes very ornate. It’s very heavy to move around and will rust.  It is very durable and will last practically forever.

Steel
Steel furniture with foam padding is light and comfortable. In addition, it isn’t very expensive.  You will probably find this type of furniture at Wal-Mart.

Wood
Wood looks the best.  It is very elegant looking.  However, it doesn’t wear well outside.  It can be protected by stains, but it just isn’t as strong as steel or iron.  It is usually not the most comfortable because if you cover it up with padding you defeat the look of the wood.

Hole in the Center
Patio tables often come with a hole in the center.  This hole is for a patio umbrella.  You may want to get one for those hot summer days or for eating dinner in the evening.
