If you find yourself hosting a lunchtime soiree in your backyard more often than not, you’ll know the importance of having a generously sized outdoor dining table for the occasion.
However, if the real estate on your balcony, patio or backyard is smaller than most, having a full-size outdoor dining table set up at all times may seem excessive (not to mention bulky). That’s when we call for the handy extendable outdoor dining table for help.

So, if you love spending time with family and friends over a meal *and* you’re known to opt for al fresco dining whenever the weather allows, it’s time to invest in an extendable outdoor dining table. Below, we’ve rounded up the best extendable outdoor dining tables to shop in Australia this year.
