Top pick: Relaxdays black 3-piece beer tent set – Matching 180 cm benches and a stated steel frame give it the highest score of these three listings. Best value: Ondis24 Lena 3-piece beer tent set – Mid price and the largest rating count, with material and load left blank on the listing. Updated October 2026.
A beer tent table is a folding three-piece set: one long table and two benches for extra places at a party. In the UK you buy one when you do not want a permanent dining set in the garden. One pattern is a narrow lacquered softwood top on a steel trestle, often about 50 cm wide and up to about 220 cm long. The other is a wider plastic or HDPE top, often about 180 cm by 74 to 76 cm.
A sound example is the whole set, not a camping side table or a square catering trestle. Check that each bench is about as long as the table, that the top is described the same way in every field, and that a clip, ring or pin locks each leg before anyone sits. The printed weight is the product, not a legal lift limit and not a seating load.
Length, material, the lock and carry are set out in the [beer tent table buying guide](/hub/garden-furniture/beer-tent-table/sub/beer-tent-table-buying-guide).

The Relaxdays black set is listed at £170.90, with a table of 73 x 180 x 74 cm in height, width and depth and two benches of 42.5 x 180 x 25 cm, so the bench length matches the table. Item weight is 26.4 kg. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.5 from 19 ratings, the highest stars here and the smallest count, and the 11 review bodies in the file are in Germany and Italy, not the United Kingdom. Those reviewers call the plastic more comfortable than wood and easy to wipe, and one garden-party note says children were comfortable sitting on the bench. The same sample includes a small dent on a bench and a table that arrived with one locking pin instead of two. The bullets state a steel frame and a wood-look plastic top, and they call it a year-round garden set without naming a weathering standard. No load is stated, and a listing question about a carry bag is unanswered, while a carrying handle is in the bullets.
Pros
Table and benches are both stated at 180 cm, with a bench depth of 25 cm and a seat height of 42.5 cm
A steel frame and a plastic wood-look top are both stated on the listing
4.5 from 19 ratings, and reviewers who liked it called it stable and easy to clean
A carrying handle is stated, and the assembly-required field says no
Cons
About £170.90 is the highest price, behind only 19 ratings, none of them located in the United Kingdom
One review expected two locking pins and found one
A bench arrived with a small dent
No load is stated, the carry-bag question is unanswered, and the year-round line is a bullet rather than a named weathering test
Best for: You want a stated steel frame and benches the same length as the 180 cm table, and you can accept a thin, non-UK review sample at the higher price.
Less suitable: You need a carry bag the listing confirms, a stated load, or a larger UK-located review sample before you pay about £170.90.
The Ondis24 Lena is a three-piece folding beer tent set the listing sizes at 180 x 75 x 73 cm and 26.5 kg, at £127.93. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.2 from 271 ratings, and the first 50 review bodies in the file are not located in the United Kingdom. Those reviewers often say one person can open and fold it, that the three-leg benches do not sag in the middle, and that it feels lighter than a wooden set. The same bodies describe locking rings that slip so a foot folds, and a tabletop that is not flush at the centre hinge, one writer putting the step at about 1 mm. A strong plastic smell is said to last for days or weeks, the black surface is said to get hot in direct sun, and some orders arrived with one carry bag and a plain plastic bag for the second bench. The listing states neither a material nor a load, so you are buying the title and the review themes, not a published capacity.
Pros
Title states two beer benches and one beer table, sized 180 x 75 x 73 cm, at about £127.93
4.2 from 271 ratings, the largest count of the three kept listings
Review bodies say it opens and folds quickly, including by one person, and that three-leg benches do not sag
A carry handle is mentioned in reviews, and a bag is praised when it actually arrives
Reviewers who liked the dark colour preferred it to a pale beer bench
Cons
Locking rings are described as slipping so a foot folds
The amazon.co.uk listing states no material and no load
The written review sample is not located in the United Kingdom
Plastic smell, a hinge that is not flush, surface marks, and a dark top that gets hot in sun
Best for: You want a named three-piece beer tent set around 180 cm at a mid price, and you will check the rings before anyone sits.
Less suitable: You need a stated material, a stated load, UK-located reviews, or a lock the reviews do not describe as slipping.
The VOUNOT white set is listed at £119.99 and 27.4 kg, with a table bullet of 180 x 75 x 72 cm and a bench bullet of 80 x 25 x 42 cm, so the seats in that bullet are less than half the table. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.0 from 169 ratings. Fourteen written reviews are located in the United Kingdom, and they are dominated by cracked benches, smashed corners, and screws that fall out, including a cracked replacement. Reviewers who received an intact set say it folds out in minutes, stores in a shed, and feels sturdy, and one household sat six, with eight mentioned only if stools went at the ends. The maximum-weight field says 170 kg and does not say whether that is the table, a bench, or the whole set. The material-type field says high-density polyethylene while the top-material field says metal, and assembly is listed as both not required and required, with a screwdriver named.
Pros
Lowest shelf price of the three at about £119.99, with side handles and rubber feet named in the bullets
Material-type field says high-density polyethylene, and bullets say the plastic is easy to wipe
Intact UK units are described as sturdy, quick to fold, and used for Christmas and garden parties
A 170 kg maximum is the only stated load among the three listings, though the method is not given
Cons
The bench bullet is 80 cm beside a table bullet of 180 cm
The UK review sample is mostly transit damage: cracked benches, smashed corners, and screws that fall out
The 170 kg figure is not split between table and bench
Top material, assembly, piece count, and indoor use disagree across fields on the same listing
Best for: You want the cheapest wipe-clean white set of the three and you will inspect the boards for cracks before the party, accepting that the bench length in the bullet does not match the table.
Less suitable: You need benches as long as the table, a load figure that names the bench, or a UK review sample that is not mostly arrival damage.
The bullet says 80 x 25 x 42 cm beside a table bullet of 180 x 75 x 72 cm. Those lengths do not match. The item-dimensions field is 72 x 180 x 75 cm.
What is the VOUNOT top made of?
The material-type field says high density polyethylene. The top-material field says metal. The bullet says weatherproof UV-resistant plastic and a metal frame.
Does the VOUNOT listing require assembly?
The assembly-required field says no. The instructions field says assembly is required and names a screwdriver.
How we compared
Shelf prices, star ratings and review counts are the amazon.co.uk listing lines read on 21 October 2026. This comparison did not test any set in a laboratory and did not treat a weatherproof or year-round bullet as BS EN 581-3. The four weights below sum to 100. A star line is not a safety test.

Beer tent table buying guide
Buy the whole set first, then match the bench to the table, then read the lock, the top and the item weight. A weatherproof bullet is not a safety test. Prices below are amazon.co.uk lines saved on 21 October 2026, not a UK-wide index.
What is a beer tent table?
A beer tent table, as UK shops sell it, is a folding three-piece set: one long table and two benches. People buy it for extra seats at a birthday, Christmas or a garden party, then store it, rather than leaving a permanent dining set on the patio. It is not a camping side table, a square catering trestle, or a pack of napkins that happens to share the search words.
Two types sit next to each other on amazon.co.uk.
Best for
Home hosts who need extra places and will store the set in a shed
A wipe-clean plastic top for a party, if you read the lock and the bench length
Not ideal for
Public seating that needs a cited mechanical-safety standard and a named load
A shopper who needs benches as long as the table when that length is blank or much shorter
Mistakes to avoid
1
Buying a small picnic table
A camping side table, a square catering trestle and party napkins are different products. The set you want is one long table and two benches.
2
Trusting up to 10 seats
e-woodproducts uses about 55 cm of bench per adult. On that rule, about 180 cm is closer to six than to eight. A title that says up to 10 seats is not that guidance, and it is not a standard.
3
Treating every kilogram as one test
A blank load, a 170 kg field that does not name the table or the bench, and a 200 kg figure on a different 167 cm set are not the same test. Item weight is the product, not a seating load. Do not leave lacquered wood out all winter.
What to weigh up
Set, length and top
High
It has to be the set: one table and two benches. A camping side table, a square catering trestle and party napkins are different products. Length is next. e-woodproducts uses about 55 cm of bench per adult: about 110 cm for four, 160 cm for six and 220 cm for eight. That is a retailer’s guidance, not a standard. The plastic sets on this page are about 180 cm.
Width changes the job. A top of about 50 cm is the narrow pub pattern. A top of about 74 to 76 cm is closer to a serving table.
Lock, carry and stated fields
High
Clips, rings or pins have to be closed before anyone sits. Do not stand on the table. Ondis24 reviews describe locking rings that slip so a foot folds. A Relaxdays review expected two locking pins and found one. Those themes are in the written sample. They are not a hidden safety score.
Item weight is 26.4 kg, 26.5 kg and 27.4 kg. That is the product, not the carton, and not a legal lift limit.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
🏠
Home hosts
You need extra places for a birthday or Christmas and you will store the set in a shed. The Relaxdays listing states benches the same length as the 180 cm table, a steel frame and a plastic top. The written reviews are not located in the United Kingdom, and no load is stated.
You want a set one person can fold, and you still have to move an item weight of 26.5 kg before packaging. Reviews of the Ondis24 Lena say it opens and folds quickly, including by one person. The listing does not state a material, a load or a carry bag, so check the rings before anyone sits.
Treat a domestic listing as freestanding party furniture, not as specified public seating. The VOUNOT set is the only one here with a stated maximum, 170 kg, and it does not say whether that is the table, a bench or the whole set. UK reviews in the file are mostly arrival damage, so inspect the boards.
Which beer tent table is the top pick in this set?
In this set the top pick is the Relaxdays black three-piece set at about £170.90. The listing states a table and two benches both at 180 cm, a steel frame and a wood-look plastic top. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 19 ratings, and the written reviews are not located in the United Kingdom. One review expected two locking pins and found one. No load is stated. The score is not a BS EN 581-3 test.
Which listing is the best value?
Best value is the Ondis24 Lena at about £127.93, the mid price of the three, with 4.2 from 271 ratings. The title says two benches and one table, sized 180 x 75 x 73 cm. The listing states no material and no load. Reviews describe rings that slip so a foot folds, and a plastic smell. Those written reviews are not located in the United Kingdom.
How much does a beer tent table cost on amazon.co.uk?
On 21 October 2026 an amazon.co.uk search for beer table and bench showed three shelf bands, not a price index. Entry was about £65 to £95. Mid was about £95 to £140, where VOUNOT at about £119.99 and Ondis24 at about £127.93 sit. Upper was about £150 to £225, where Relaxdays at about £170.90 sits. These are saved listing lines, not a UK-wide survey.
How many people fit on a beer tent table of about 180 cm?
e-woodproducts uses about 55 cm of bench per adult: about 110 cm for four, 160 cm for six and 220 cm for eight. That is their guidance, not a British Standard. Sets of about 180 cm sit closer to six than to eight on that rule. One VOUNOT household said six sat, with eight only if stools went at the ends. It is not a claim of ten seats.
Does a high star rating mean the set meets BS EN 581-3?
No. BS EN 581-3:2017 sets mechanical safety requirements for outdoor tables and does not test weathering. None of the three listings cite it. A weatherproof or year-round bullet is not that standard, and a star rating is not a safety test. The General Product Safety Regulations 2005 are the GOV.UK baseline that consumer products should be safe. Lock every leg before anyone sits, and do not stand on the table.
What load figure can you trust?
Only the VOUNOT field says 170 kg, and it does not name the table, a bench or the whole set. Ondis24 and Relaxdays state no load. Item weights of 26.4 kg, 26.5 kg and 27.4 kg are the product, not a seating load. Dancover prints 200 kg on a different 167 cm set and says it is not for permanent outdoor use. Those figures are not one shared test.
What if a bench arrives cracked, or you need a backrest?
If a bench arrives cracked, the Consumer Rights Act 2015, sections 9 and 22, covers satisfactory quality and a short-term right to reject, normally 30 days. The VOUNOT UK reviews in the file are mostly transit damage, including cracked benches and a cracked replacement. Check the boards before the party. A backrest is a different product: the beer garden table and benches with backrests comparison.
How heavy is a beer tent table to carry?
The three item-weight fields are 26.4 kg, 26.5 kg and 27.4 kg. That is the product, not the carton, and not a legal lift limit. The Health and Safety Executive says there is no legal maximum weight and that its filters are not safe limits. A carrying handle does not mean one person should lift the carton. Share the lift if it has to go up stairs.
Our verdict
The Relaxdays black set is the top pick of these three listings because the table and the benches are both stated at 180 cm and the bullets state a steel frame and a plastic top. It is about £170.90, with 4.5 from 19 ratings, and those written reviews are not located in the United Kingdom. The Ondis24 Lena is the best value: a mid price, 4.2 from 271 ratings, and no stated material or load. The VOUNOT set is the lowest shelf price and the only stated 170 kg figure, against a bench bullet of 80 cm and a UK sample dominated by transit damage. Neither badge means the set was tested to BS EN 581-3.
Best overall
Relaxdays black 3-piece beer tent set
Matching 180 cm benches and a stated steel frame give it the highest score of these three listings.
