Size Matters! Impress Your Guests With An Extension Table

You might have an outdoor lounge setting, wicker furniture and garden furniture in your outdoor space, but do you have an extension table? Just as sun lounges and pool furniture serve a specific purpose, extension tables also help take care of a range of functions. It can also be a versatile alternative to a traditional outdoor dining setting. Here are some ways to impress your guests with an outdoor extension table:

Extended Outdoor Dining

If you enjoy hosting al fresco dinner parties, you might have run into the issue of having an unexpected guest or two and nowhere to seat them. The more the merrier, and an extension table can allow you to make it an even more festive occasion. Whether you want to invite more guests or have more room for your best dishes and table décor, an extension table allows for room to expand spontaneously.

Barbecue Buffets and Potluck Dinners

An extension table also allows you to expand your repertoire during outdoor barbecues. Set it all out buffet-style and allow guests to serve themselves. You’ll have plenty of room for several kinds of meats, salads and potatoes as well as a section just for desserts.

Shared dinners where everyone brings a dish are much easier when there’s plenty of space for the offerings. An extension table is the perfect expandable space so that you can display the whole range of offerings and allow guests to help themselves. Be sure to have a second extension table and set of outdoor chairs so that you can all dine together and share in conversation over everyone’s best home cooking.

Overseas Guests and Overnight Visitors

Planned as well as surprise guests are much easier to accommodate if you have an extension table on hand. Whether it’s for a specific holiday or some friends just passing through town, you’ll always be prepared for extra dinner guests with a table that can be extended for visitors.

Holiday Occasions

The holidays are another time when an extension table is sure to impress. From extra space for guests to your holiday food and snack spread to a place to put the cards and gifts, an extension table has multiple uses. From the Christmas season to birthday parties to baby showers, it can help in a variety of scenarios.

While outdoor furniture brings up visions of wicker furniture, outdoor lounge settings and sun loungers, an extension table along with some extra outdoor chairs can be an impressive addition to your outdoor setting. These are just a few of the ways you can impress your guests with an extension table. How else might you use this versatile outdoor furniture?
