A drink beside a chair
A balcony or a small patio needs a side table, not a 120 cm fold. The PHI VILLA folding glass side table is 46 cm across and 48 cm high, weighs 3.85 kg, and has 4.6 from 2,110 reviews. Bring it in when it is wet.
Round garden table comparison 2026
The best round garden tables, compared.
Top pick: Byliable 110 cm bar table Best value: YITAHOME 122 cm folding table – Lower price of the two dining-height folding tables, at about £40, with a stated load of 150 kg. Updated October 2026.
Lee Burkhill (Garden Ninja)Expert source
A round garden table is a circular outdoor table for a patio, balcony or garden. In the UK you buy one to eat outside, to set a drink beside a chair, or to stand at bar height. You tell a suitable table by its height and its diameter. Those two checks stay valid when the models change. Dining height is about 73 to 74 cm. About 60 cm suits two people, 90 cm four and 120 cm six, with chair space outside the top. Side tables are about 40 to 54 cm high, and about 110 cm is standing height. A fold helps a shed if the lock is on before you load it. A stated load is the seller's figure. Glass, coated steel, plastic and ceramic tile fail in different ways. Rust-proof and not fragile are listing words. A parasol needs a printed hole and a weighted base. BS EN 581-3 covers mechanical safety for outdoor tables and does not test ageing. Height, diameter and material are set out in the [round garden table buying guide](/hub/garden-furniture/round-garden-table/sub/round-garden-table-buying-guide).

Our view
The Byliable bar table is 70 cm across and 110 cm high, with a 4 cm HDPE top, a stated load of 100 kg, and a weight of 6.2 kg, at £51.99. You unfold the legs, fit the poles, and lock the clips, and the bullets say that takes no tools. It is standing height for drinks, and a seating attribute of 4 does not make it a dining table a chair can meet. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 286 ratings, but the saved listing's UK sample is three short positive lines from June and July 2026, with no repeated UK defect written down. The frame line conflicts: bullets say powder-coated steel, and one attribute says stainless steel. There is no parasol hole. Treat the 100 kg figure as the listing's claim, and treat the star line as mostly unreviewed in the UK texts we kept.
Pros
- 110 cm bar height on a 70 cm round top that folds
- Stated load of 100 kg, weight 6.2 kg, no tools in the bullets
- 4.7 from 286 amazon.co.uk ratings
- The three UK texts in the file are short and positive
Cons
- Only three short UK reviews under 286 ratings
- 110 cm is the wrong height for a seated meal
- Leg material conflicts: powder-coated steel in the bullets, stainless steel on an attribute
- No parasol hole
Best for: You want a folding cocktail table for people who are standing, and you accept a very small UK review sample.
Less suitable: Dinner with ordinary chairs, or a buyer who wants dozens of UK reviews before they trust a 4.7 line.

Common questions
Will a dining chair fit?
No. The top is 110 cm high. It is a bar or cocktail table, 70 cm across. The seating attribute says 4, which does not make it dining height.
How does it go together?
The bullets say no tools: unfold the legs, fit the poles, and lock the clips. The stated load is 100 kg. The weight is 6.2 kg.
What do UK reviews say?
The star line is 4.7 from 286 ratings. Only three short UK reviews are in the saved listing, and they are positive. That is not a 286-person UK survey.
Our view
The Shatchi Lisbon table is a 35 cm mosaic plant stand at 54 cm high, with a ceramic tile top, a metal frame, a lower shelf, and a stated load of 23 kg, weighing 5.5 kg at £38.19. It is side height beside a bench, not a table you pull chairs up to. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 20 ratings, and 13 of the texts in the file are from the UK: reviewers call the top and legs sturdy and more than one ordered a second. The listing says assembly needs a screwdriver, yet one UK review says it arrived fully assembled and another says the lower joint does not sit flush in the cross piece. Folding is not stated. One UK review says theirs has been fine in all weathers, which is a single report rather than a weather test. There is no parasol hole, and a 20-rating line is a thin sample next to the glass side table's 2,110.
Pros
- 35 cm top with a shelf, 54 cm high, stated load 23 kg
- Ceramic mosaic top that UK reviewers have used beside a bench
- 5.5 kg, so it is movable without being a folding trestle
- 4.7 from the 20 ratings on the listing
Cons
- Only 20 ratings, so the star line is a small sample
- One UK review says the lower joint does not sit flush
- Folding is not stated, and it is far too small to dine at
- Assembly instructions and a review that says it arrived built do not match
Best for: You want a small mosaic stand for a plant or a cup beside a bench, and you can check the lower joint on day one.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a meal table, a fold-flat store, or a large review sample before they buy.

Common questions
Is this a dining table?
No. It is 35 cm across and 54 cm high, with a lower shelf. The title also calls it a plant stand. The stated load is 23 kg.
Does it need assembly?
The attribute says yes, with a screwdriver. One UK review says it arrived assembled. Another says the lower joint does not sit flush.
Can it stay in the rain?
The attribute says indoor and outdoor. One UK review says theirs has been fine in all weathers. That is one review, not a weather test.

The PHI VILLA side table is 46 cm across and 48 cm high, with a tempered-glass top and an e-coated steel frame, and it weighs 3.85 kg so you can carry it in one hand. You unfold it with no tools, and the seating attribute is 1, which matches a drink beside a chair rather than a meal for four. On amazon.co.uk it scores 4.6 from 2,110 ratings, the largest review count in this set, and the 50 UK texts often praise it on a patio, a balcony, or beside a bench. The same sample includes a review that counted four scratches in the glass, marks or dents on arrival, and rust on the metal rim after rain. One reviewer does not leave it out. The bullets call the glass safe and not fragile, but no load is stated and no safety standard is named, so a chip is a reason to stop using the top. There is no parasol hole.
Pros
- 46 × 48 cm folding side table at 3.85 kg and £29.99
- No assembly: you unfold it
- 4.6 from 2,110 amazon.co.uk ratings, the largest sample here
- UK reviewers use it on balconies and beside benches
Cons
- Glass scratches in use, including one review that counted four
- Metal rim rusted after rain in one UK review
- No stated load, and not a dining table
- Arrival dents or marks show up in the UK sample
Best for: You want a light folding side table for a drink beside one chair, and you will bring it in when it is wet.
Less suitable: A seated meal, a heavy planter, or a table that stays out in the rain.

Common questions
Is the top tempered glass?
The bullets say tempered glass and call it not fragile. UK reviews still mention scratches, and one mentions rust on the metal rim after rain. No safety standard is named.
Do I assemble it?
The listing says no assembly. You unfold it. It folds for storage. The weight is 3.85 kg.
Can four people eat at it?
No. It is 46 cm across and 48 cm high, and the seating attribute is 1. A load limit is not stated.
Our view
The Grand patio table is 70 cm across and only 40 cm high, in peacock-blue powder-coated steel, at 4.5 kg and £52.63. The stated load is 23 kg, it does not fold, and the listing says one person can assemble it with the included screwdriver in about 15 minutes. It scores 4.6 from 1,430 amazon.co.uk ratings, and many of the 50 UK texts praise the wide top, the splayed legs, and a second purchase for drinks in the garden or a conservatory. One UK review says the joints fit poorly, calls it flimsy, and says every drop of rain marks the top. Another describes a leg damaged where the box had a hole. The outdoor attribute and the indoor wording both appear, and there is no parasol hole. A seating line of 1, plus an unextended figure of 4, does not turn a 40 cm height into a dining table.
Pros
- 70 cm round top with a stated load of 23 kg
- 4.6 from 1,430 amazon.co.uk ratings
- Screwdriver assembly quoted at about 15 minutes, tools included
- UK reviewers use the wide top for drinks outside and indoors
Cons
- Only 40 cm high, so it is a side or coffee table
- Does not fold
- One UK review reports poor joints and rainwater marks
- A damaged leg on arrival appears in the sample, and there is no parasol hole
Best for: You want a wider low table for drinks beside seating, and the table can stay where it is.
Less suitable: Dining height, a shed that needs a fold, or a buyer who needs a dry metal top after rain.

Common questions
Is 70 cm wide enough to dine?
The top is 70 cm across but only 40 cm high. That is side or coffee height. The stated load is 23 kg. It does not fold.
Will it stay outside?
The attribute says Outdoor. Bullets also mention indoor use. One UK review says rainwater marks the top. The frame is described as e-coated and powder-coated.
What tools does assembly need?
A screwdriver. The listing says the tools are included and names about 15 minutes and one person.
Our view
The Simmer Stone tray has a plastic top on three detachable wooden legs, weighs 1.72 kg, and states a 5 kg load, at £19.99. The title calls it a 17.7 inch round outdoor side table, while the dimension attribute says 50 × 38 × 38 cm, so you should not treat either line as a single agreed diameter. It scores 4.6 from 344 amazon.co.uk ratings, and the UK sample likes how light it is, how the legs go on without tools, and a lip that holds a spill. One UK review says the three legs feel unstable for drinks unless the table is wedged between chairs. Another says the build is not the best and the plastic was scuffed, and a third says the printed pattern peeled and looked sun-damaged after six weeks outside. The seating attribute is 1. It is a light tray you carry, not a table you eat a meal from.
Pros
- 1.72 kg tray with legs that UK reviewers fit without tools
- Stated load of 5 kg, so the limit is printed
- 4.6 from 344 amazon.co.uk ratings
- A lip that reviewers mention for small spills, at £19.99
Cons
- Three legs felt unstable for drinks unless wedged, in one UK review
- Printed pattern peeled after six weeks in the sun, in one UK review
- Title size and the 50 × 38 × 38 cm attribute do not agree
- 5 kg is too low for a planter or a pile of crockery
Best for: You want a light indoor-outdoor tray for a book or a mug, and you can wedge it or accept a three-leg stance.
Less suitable: Dinner, a heavy pot, or a print you expect to survive weeks of sun.

Common questions
How much weight does it state?
5 kg. UK reviews describe a light tray. One says three legs feel unstable for drinks unless the table is wedged.
What size is it?
The title says a 17.7 inch round top. The dimension attribute says 50 × 38 × 38 cm. Those figures do not agree, so neither is treated as a single diameter.
Can it live outside?
The title says outdoor. One UK review says the printed pattern peeled after six weeks in the sun. Legs are wood and the top is plastic.
Our view
The Harbour Housewares trestle opens to a 120 cm round plastic top at 73.5 cm high and weighs 13.8 kg, so it is a dining-height table you lift into a shed rather than a side table you slide with one hand. Across 418 amazon.co.uk ratings it scores 4.3, and the 50 UK texts in the sample often call it sturdy once the locks are on, including a motorhome owner who stores it in a locker. First assembly needs a screwdriver, and the listing tells you to lock the legs before anyone uses it. One UK reviewer found it hard to open and collapse without a lot of strength, and another could not get a courier to collect a large damaged box. The file also prints two size lines that disagree, 62 × 120 × 73.5 cm and 10 × 119 × 59 cm, so the bullet's folded width of about 62 cm is the figure to plan storage around. No maximum load and no parasol hole are stated, and a seating attribute of 7 sits above a 120 cm six-place rule of thumb.
Pros
- 120 cm across and 73.5 cm high, which is dining height
- Folds, with a carry handle, at 13.8 kg
- 4.3 from 418 amazon.co.uk ratings, a longer trail than the £40 folding table
- UK reviewers use it in a small garden and for camping once it is locked
Cons
- No stated load, and no parasol hole
- Awkward to fold for some older reviewers
- Conflicting dimension lines in the listing
- One reported return stalled because the courier would not collect the box
Best for: You eat outside, then store a 120 cm plastic top, and you will lock the legs before you load it.
Less suitable: A balcony where 120 cm plus chairs will not fit, a parasol through the top, or a table you want to leave out all year.

Common questions
Is this dining height?
The bullets say 120 cm across and 73.5 cm high when it is open. That is dining height, not a side table. The seating attribute says 7.
Does it fold?
Yes. It folds, and the listing says to lock it before use. First assembly uses a screwdriver. The item weight is 13.8 kg.
Is there a parasol hole?
No parasol hole is stated. The outdoor attribute says Outdoor. A maximum load is not stated.
Our view
The ZEECER metal side table is about 35 cm across and 43 cm high, with a flower cut-out in a painted top, and it costs £24.99. You assemble it with the supplied tool and a screw, and the listing says you can loosen that screw to fold it. It scores 4.3 from 41 amazon.co.uk ratings, with 14 UK texts: several like the flower top beside a garden bench and say it feels sturdy for the size. The same sample calls it very small and a bit short for some garden chairs, and one UK review says it was rusty after a month, against other reviews that praise the coating. The bullets claim a rust-proof coating, which that month-old rust report contradicts. An item-weight attribute of 200 g is not a credible weight for a metal table, and the only hole figure is 0.75 inches, which is not a 38–50 mm parasol pole. No load is stated.
Pros
- About 35 cm flower-cut metal top at £24.99
- Supplied tool for the screw assembly
- UK reviewers find it light enough to move beside a bench
- 4.3 from 41 amazon.co.uk ratings
Cons
- Too small and a bit short for some garden chairs, in UK reviews
- Rusty after a month in one UK review, despite a rust-proof claim
- 0.75 inch hole attribute is not a parasol hole, and no load is stated
- The 200 g weight line conflicts with a metal table
Best for: You want a cheap metal side table next to a bench and you will store it dry.
Less suitable: A parasol, a dining chair at 43 cm, or a coating you expect to survive a wet month outside.

Common questions
Will a parasol fit?
The only hole figure is an attribute of 0.75 inches. That is not a 38–50 mm parasol pole. The bullets describe a flower cut-out, not a parasol.
Is it tall enough beside a dining chair?
It is about 43 cm high and about 35 cm across. UK reviews call it small and a bit short for some garden chairs. A load is not stated.
Does the coating stop rust?
The bullets say a rust-proof coating. One UK review says rusty after a month. Another says it can stay out but prefers a dry store. The 200 g weight line is not a credible metal-table weight.
Our view
The YITAHOME folding table opens to 122 cm across and 74 cm high, with a 4 cm HDPE top, an alloy-steel frame, and an item weight of 12.8 kg, at £40 on amazon.co.uk. The listing states a 150 kg load, which is the seller's figure rather than a test run for this comparison, and the collapsed length is given as a minimum of 61 cm. It scores 4.2 from 64 ratings, with only 10 UK texts in the file: several call it sturdy for the price and the right height for eating outside. One camping review says dirt ingrains in a rough top that is hard to keep clean, and another says the quality is not the best and the table was bigger than expected. The file conflicts on assembly, with one line saying it is ready to use and another saying assembly is required and tools are included. A bullet claims up to six people while an unextended seating attribute says four, and there is no parasol hole. A door-width attribute of 132 cm is a warning if you must carry it through a narrow flat.
Pros
- Dining height at 74 cm on a 122 cm round top for £40
- Stated load of 150 kg and a 4 cm HDPE top
- Folds, with a handle, at 12.8 kg and a collapsed length of about 61 cm
- UK reviewers who have used it for meals say it is sturdy for the price
Cons
- Dirt can ingrain in the plastic top, in a UK camping review
- Only 10 UK review texts under a 64-rating line
- Assembly lines conflict: ready to use, and assembly required
- Seating claims disagree (up to 6, and unextended 4), and there is no parasol hole
Best for: You want the lower-priced dining-height fold in this set and you can live with a plastic top that may stain.
Less suitable: A small balcony, a glass or timber look, or anyone who needs a printed parasol hole and a large UK review sample.

Common questions
How many people does the listing claim?
The bullet says up to 6. Another attribute says unextended seating capacity 4. The top is 122 cm across and 74 cm high.
What is the stated load?
150 kg. That figure is the listing's, not a test run for this comparison. The top is described as 4 cm HDPE.
Does it need assembly?
The file conflicts. One line says no assembly and ready to use. Another says assembly is required and tools are included. It does fold and has a handle.
How we compared
Shelf prices, star ratings and review counts are the amazon.co.uk lines for the eight tables in this comparison. There is no lab test, and no claim that any table passed BS EN 581-3. The score is the star rating scaled to 80, plus up to 20 from the review count. That review block is capped, so a 4.7 from 20 ratings and a 4.7 from 286 ratings can share the top formula score. The formula does not measure how many of those texts are from the UK. The top pick is the largest review count, 4.6 from 2,110, on a side table. Best value is the lower-priced dining-height fold. Price, a stated load, a fold and a parasol hole are not inside the score.

Round garden table buying guide
Decide the height first: a meal at about 74 cm, a drink at about 40 to 54 cm, or standing drinks at about 110 cm. Then match the diameter to the people, name the top you will live with, and read any stated load next to the item weight. A seller load is not BS EN 581-3, and a star rating is not a weathering test. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk lines in this file, not a UK-wide index.
What is a round garden table?
A round garden table is a circular-top table for a patio, a balcony or a garden. In the UK the usual jobs are a small paved space, a meal for several people, or a drink beside a chair. Those jobs use different heights, and the heights do not replace each other. Dining height is about 73 to 74 cm. Side and coffee height is about 40 to 54 cm. A bar or cocktail table at about 110 cm is standing height. A high star line on a side table does not make it a meal table.
Best for
- A balcony or small patio where you want a drink beside one chair, not a 120 cm top
- Households who eat outside and then store a dining-height fold of about 12 to 14 kg
Not ideal for
- A contract café terrace, which these domestic listings are not
- Shade from a parasol when the listing does not print a real pole hole
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Buying on stars across heights
A 4.6-star side table is still the wrong meal table. About 74 cm suits ordinary chairs. About 40 to 55 cm is a side or coffee table. About 110 cm is standing height.
- 2
Trusting a seating number that fights the diameter
A UK size guide uses about 60 cm for two, 90 cm for four and 120 cm for six. Chair space sits outside the top. A seating attribute of 7 on a 120 cm top sits above that six-place rule of thumb.
- 3
Assuming a parasol hole
A hole counts only when the listing prints one, and it does not replace a weighted base. A 0.75 inch attribute is not a 38 to 50 mm pole. Do not leave chipped steel out on a rust-proof bullet, and do not cover a damp table.
What to weigh up
Height and diameter
HighHeight is the first check. About 74 cm suits ordinary chairs. About 40 to 55 cm is a side or coffee table. About 110 cm is standing height. A popular side table is still the wrong table for a seated meal, and a seating attribute does not change the height. Diameter comes next. A UK size guide, used here as a rule of thumb, puts about 60 cm for two, 90 cm for four and 120 cm for six. Chair space sits outside the top. A 35 cm stand is a plant or a cup.
Top, load, fold and hole
HighTempered glass, powder-coated steel, HDPE, ceramic tile and a plastic tray on wooden legs fail differently. Rust-proof and not fragile are listing words. UK reviews already mention rim rust, scratches, ingrained dirt and a peeled print. Toughened glass can still break, and a bullet is not a certificate. Read the stated load beside the item weight. Printed limits run from 5 kg on a tray to 23 kg on two side tables, then 100 kg and 150 kg on the bar table and the large folding top.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Eat outside, then store it
Dining height in this set is about 74 cm on a 120 to 122 cm top, and the lift is about 12 to 14 kg. The YITAHOME folding table is about £40, with a stated load of 150 kg. The plastic top may stain, and the UK text sample is 10 reviews.
Standing drinks
Only the Byliable table is bar height, at 110 cm on a 70 cm top, with a stated load of 100 kg. Skip it for a seated meal. The star line is 4.7 from 286 ratings, and the UK texts in the file are three short lines.
Common questions about round garden tables
Which round garden table is the top pick in this set?
The top pick in this set is the PHI VILLA folding glass side table. It has 4.6 from 2,110 amazon.co.uk ratings, the largest review count kept here, at about £29.99. The top is 46 cm across and 48 cm high, you unfold it with no tools, and it weighs 3.85 kg. The mark is a side-table result from the listing signal, not a dining-table win and not a laboratory test. UK reviews also mention scratches and rim rust after rain. No load is stated.
Which listing is the best value?
Best value is the YITAHOME 122 cm folding table at about £40. It is the lower price of the two dining-height folding tables in this set. It opens to 122 cm across and 74 cm high, with a stated load of 150 kg and a weight of 12.8 kg. The star line is 4.2 from 64 ratings, and only 10 UK texts are in the file. A camping review says dirt can ingrain in the top. The assembly lines conflict. The mark is not a cleanliness win.
How much does a round garden table cost on amazon.co.uk?
These amazon.co.uk shelf prices are from 21 October 2026, not a market census. Entry is about £19.99 to £29.99 for the small side tables and the tray. Mid is about £38.19 to £54.49 for the mosaic stand, the steel side table, the bar table and the two large folding tops. Premium timber is not in the kept listings. A separate teak side table was about £322 and about 46 cm across. Do not treat that as the price of a 120 cm dining table.
What should you check before you buy a round garden table?
Start with height. About 74 cm suits ordinary chairs. About 40 to 55 cm is a side or coffee table. About 110 cm is standing height. Then match diameter to people, as a rule of thumb: about 60 cm for two, 90 cm for four and 120 cm for six, with chair space outside the top. Read the top material, the stated load and whether it folds. A parasol hole counts only when the listing prints one. A star line does not turn a side table into a meal table.
Does a round garden table need a parasol hole?
A parasol needs a hole the listing actually states, and the hole does not replace a weighted base. In this set, no table prints a 38 to 50 mm pole hole. The only hole figure is a 0.75 inch attribute on the small metal side table, which is a flower cut-out, not a parasol pole. Do not buy a table for shade on that line. A glazier should cut a new hole or deal with cracked glass. None of these listings shows a test to BS EN 581-3.
Is a stated load a British Standard?
No. A stated load, from 5 kg on the tray to 150 kg on a large folding top, is the seller's figure, not a test run for this comparison. BS EN 581-3:2026 is the mechanical safety standard for outdoor tables for camping, domestic and contract use, including glass. It does not test ageing or fade. BS EN 581-1 is the general safety part. None of these listings says it was tested to either standard. Tempered glass on a bullet is not a certificate, and toughened glass can still break.
Should the table fold or stay out?
Choose a fold when the table has to go into a shed or a locker, and lock the legs before anyone loads it. The two dining-height folds weigh about 12 to 14 kg, so plan the lift. A side table that does not fold can stay where it is. A three-leg tray is a light carry, not a dining store. Leaving chipped steel outside on a rust-proof bullet, or covering a damp table, is a common mistake. A cover should not trap a wet top.
What if you need a seat, or the table arrives faulty?
A round side table holds a drink beside a seat. It does not seat two people. If you need a shared outdoor seat, use a garden bench comparison and keep the table at side height. If the table arrives faulty, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 is the route, including the 30-day short-term right to reject. Missing parts, a damaged leg or a cracked top belong on that path. Call a glazier for cracked glass. Use a delivery team if you cannot lift a heavy table.
Our verdict
The PHI VILLA folding glass side table is the top pick. It has 4.6 from 2,110 amazon.co.uk ratings, the largest review count in this set, at about £29.99. It is 46 cm across and 48 cm high, so the mark is not a dining-table win. Best value is the YITAHOME 122 cm folding table at about £40, the lower price of the two dining-height folds, with a stated load of 150 kg. Neither mark is a laboratory result, and neither means the table passed BS EN 581-3.
