Stand and Eat vs. Sit Down Meal - Versatile Ways to Use Your Table Extension

Having a table extender option on your outdoor dining setting can be a blessing and even a lifesaver in a variety of hosting and entertaining scenarios. The Nardi line of outdoor furniture offers a number of dining settings with table extenders. Here are some examples of the versatile ways that you can make the most of your table extension from Outdoor Furniture Ideas:

Buffet-Style Gatherings

Barbecues and Picnics. Outdoor dining is much more fun when there's plenty of room for that full picnic spread and all the right condiments. A table extender will ensure that you have plenty of room for all of those favourite delectable grilled meats and veggies, delicious side dishes as well as plenty of room for dessert.

Potlucks and Shared Meals. Who doesn't love a good old-fashioned potluck meal, where everyone brings their best dish and all who attend get to partake in the bounty? With a table extension, you can be sure that there will be enough room for each savoury entree, family casserole recipe, healthy salad, side dish and sweet dessert.

Sporting Event Viewing Parties. Keep team spirit alive by creating the ideal sports fan snack table with your table extender. Let them shout at the TV indoors and then step outside for a bite and a drink at halftime -- or, if weather permits, set up a television outdoors. An extended table can help you create the perfect buffet style spread and allow your sports fanatics to celebrate and refuel.

Sit-Down Meals

Outdoor Dinner Parties. Your finest place settings, glassware and cooking will lose their impact if there isn't enough room for everyone at the table. Make sure there's always plenty of space on the patio for all of your treasured guests by opting for an outdoor dining setting with a table extender.

Overseas or Out of Town Visitors. Your table may be big enough for your entertaining needs now, but what about during the holidays or when you have overseas or out of town visitors? A table extender can be just what's required to create the perfect outdoor setting so that everyone will feel welcome.

Unexpected Guests. Whether you're hosting a sit-down barbecue or a formal dinner, you just never know when someone might bring a plus one (or plus three) unannounced. Be ready for anything with an outdoor dining setting table extender on hand to accommodate extra guests at a moment's notice.
