The best wooden garden tables, compared.
Top pick: GiantexUK folding bistro table Best value: Momleix Ost-001, black – Lowest shelf price among listings that score at least 50 and have at least 20 amazon.co.uk reviews. Both Ost-001 colours are about £20.89; the black listing scores 55 against 53. Plan around the 80 kg specification. Updated October 2026.
A wooden garden table for a UK patio is a dining, bistro or side table in teak, acacia, meranti or a similar woody material. It is not a bird table, a resin top or a plastic folding table. On amazon.co.uk the usual choice is a hardwood dining top around 74–75 cm high, or a small side table for a balcony. Teak is the timber UK guides treat as able to live outside and turn silver. Acacia is the cheaper hardwood that makers usually want oiled and covered, or stored, through a wet winter. It also has enough reviews to mention wobble or bowing. The [wooden garden table buying guide](/hub/garden-furniture/wooden-garden-table/sub/wooden-garden-table-buying-guide) sets out size, species, hole and load before a score becomes a reason to buy.

Question 1 of 2
Where will you use the table?
The GiantexUK 133GX48 is a folding bistro table, 70 × 70 × 73 cm and 6 kg, with a slatted acacia top on a metal frame, at £55.99. The bullets say it folds flat, with two fixing hooks when it is open, and the stated load is 80 kg for two people. amazon.co.uk lists 5.0 from 2 reviews, both from the United Kingdom, and both mention folding it away, easy assembly, and a sturdy feel in daily use. Neither review is critical, and two comments cannot show how the joints cope with a wet winter. Maintenance oil is advised and is not in the box. The size fields on this listing agree with each other.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Two people on a balcony who need the top to fold away, and who accept a listing with two reviews.
Less suitable: A family dining table, or a buyer who wants enough reviews to mention wobble or a bowed top.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it fold?
The bullets say it folds flat and has two fixing hooks when it is open.
What is it made of?
An acacia top on a metal frame. Maintenance oil is advised and is not in the box.
How many people and what load does the listing state?
Seating capacity is 2. The size is 70 × 70 × 73 cm. The stated load is 80 kg.
The Furinno Tioman FG18006 is a square patio table about 89.9 cm wide and 74.2 cm high, weighing 14 kg, at £45.75. The bullets name dark red meranti treated with teak oil, while the top-material field says teak wood. amazon.co.uk lists 4.5 from 655 reviews. Of 50 reviews read, 32 were from the United Kingdom, and praise in that read often covers a sturdy feel for the price, simple assembly, room for four, and a useful parasol hole. Many reviews in that read describe folding legs, which the specification marks as not foldable, and that clash is unresolved. Dents, damaged corners or splits on arrival also come up, including one leg whose thread would not take a screw, and one reviewer thought the wood looked like stained softwood. The stated load is 15 pounds on a listing whose seating line says 4. It is the top pick in this set for a square top near 90 cm if you can accept those clashes.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A square patio table near 90 cm and about 74 cm high, if you check the legs against the fold line before you rely on them.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs one agreed timber species, a load figure fit for four place settings, or a table the listing and the reviews agree does not fold.
Specifications
Common questions
What does the listing say the table is made of?
The bullets say dark red meranti treated with teak oil. The top-material field says teak wood. Those lines are not the same species.
Does this listing fold?
The specification says it is not foldable. Many of the reviews read describe a folding table. Those two sources are not reconciled here.
Does a parasol come in the box?
The bullets and the special-features line claim an umbrella hole. The included-components line is one patio table, not a parasol.
The Furinno Tioman FG18508 is a low patio coffee table with one shelf, about 43 cm high and 10 kg, at £54.95. The bullets say dark red meranti with teak oil, and the finish field says teak. amazon.co.uk lists 4.4 from 298 reviews. None of the 50 reviews read were from the United Kingdom, so this page does not treat comments in that sample about cracks, rain, or stain as UK experience. The size lines on the listing do not agree: the bullets give about 89.9 cm wide by 45.2 cm deep, and another line says 89.9 × 89.9 × 43.2 cm. The stated load is 80 pounds in both the bullets and the specification. The fold field says no, the shelf count is 1, the style name says 2-tier, and a one-year limited warranty is listed, with no waterproof test named.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A low table beside a seat when you will use the amazon.co.uk star line and measure the top, because the width lines clash.
Less suitable: A reader who wants United Kingdom comments on rain or outdoor wear, or a single agreed footprint.
Specifications
Common questions
Can the listing be left outside?
The usage field says outdoor, and the bullets describe a patio coffee table. The listing does not say it is waterproof.
What load does the listing state?
The bullets and the maximum-weight field both say 80 pounds.
How many shelves does it have?
The listing says one shelf. The style name is 2-tier.
The Momleix Ost-001 in black is a two-tier bamboo side table about 41 × 33 × 46 cm and 3 kg, at £20.89. The material named on the listing is bamboo. amazon.co.uk lists 4.4 from 58 reviews. Of 34 reviews read, 32 were from the United Kingdom, and they describe twisting the poles into metal inserts in minutes, then using the two tiers beside a chair, a hammock, or on a balcony. One review in that read cites about 3 kg and says the table was not blown over. The black coating is not even on every surface, and the same review texts are attached to the natural-colour ASIN. The bullets say the top holds 163 kg and the lower shelf 72 kg, while the specification says 80 kg, and the bullets' all-weather line names no test. It is the best value in this set for a light two-tier side table when you treat the specification figure of 80 kg as the load to plan around.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A balcony, or a spot beside a chair, for drinks and a plant, where about 3 kg is easy to move and you use the 80 kg specification.
Less suitable: A dining table, a proved weather test, or a load figure the listing states only once.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The bullets say the top holds 163 kg and the lower shelf 72 kg. The specification says 80 kg. Those figures disagree.
What is it made of, and do you need tools?
Bamboo. Assembly is required. The bullets say no tools are required, and the tools-included field is No.
Is the all-weather line a test result?
The bullets say the bamboo will not peel, rot or fade in sun or heavy rain. No test standard is named.
The Momleix Ost-001 in natural is the same model as the black side table, about 41 × 33 × 46 cm, with an item weight of 2.93 kg, at the same £20.89. The material line is bamboo, there are two tiers, and the fold field says no. amazon.co.uk lists 4.4 from 58 reviews, and the 34 texts read are the same set as on the black ASIN, including reviews that describe a black finish. Thirty-two of those 34 texts were from the United Kingdom, so these reviews still do not isolate the natural colour. Those comments describe poles twisted into metal inserts, and two tiers used for drinks and plants beside a chair, a hammock, or on a balcony. The bullets say 163 kg on top and 72 kg on the lower shelf, against 80 kg in the specification. A complaint that it costs a bit much for the size sits in that shared sample, and the coating remarks in that sample describe a black finish.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you are choosing the natural photos on purpose, because the written reviews do not separate this colour from the black listing.
Less suitable: A reader who wants United Kingdom comments only about the natural finish, or a dining table.
Specifications
Common questions
How does this differ from the black Ost-001 listing?
This ASIN’s colour field is Natural and the item weight is 2.93 kg. The model number is the same Ost-001. The review texts match the black ASIN.
What load does the listing state?
The bullets say the top holds 163 kg and the lower shelf 72 kg. The specification says 80 kg.
Do you need tools?
Assembly is required. The bullets say no tools are required, and the tools-included field is No.
The GiantexUK 729GX78 is an acacia dining table at £120.99, with the size field at 170 × 90 × 75 cm, a weight of 19 kg, and a stated load of 150 kg. Another dimensions line says 170 × 170 × 75 cm, and the title also names 100 cm and 200 cm options. A 5 cm parasol hole is stated; the umbrella and a weighted base are not included. amazon.co.uk lists 4.3 from 7 reviews. Six texts were read, all from the United Kingdom, and they praise the size, the assembly, and a smooth top, with support described at the inner corner. One of those six says the top bowed in the middle after a month or two, then went wobbly, and that tightening the bolts did not stop it. The bullets say to avoid prolonged rain and they recommend wax oil, which seven reviews cannot turn into a durability record.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A household that has measured for 170 × 90 cm and will buy a parasol base separately, knowing the review count is 7.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs the width settled as 90 cm on every line of the listing, or a longer outdoor record than one month or two.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the table include a parasol?
The listing says a 5 cm hole and that a weighted base is required. The umbrella and the base are not included.
What size is this listing?
The size field says 170 × 90 × 75 cm. Another dimensions line says 170 × 170 × 75 cm. The title also names 100 cm and 200 cm options.
What timber and care does the listing name?
Acacia. The bullets say to avoid prolonged rain and recommend wax oil. They do not say it is waterproof.
The Utoplike SCYMBZ is a two-tier side table about 33 × 40.5 × 44.5 cm and 3.75 kg, listed at £46.90 as plantation teak. The finish field says varnish, and the stated load is 200 pounds. amazon.co.uk lists 4.0 from 300 reviews. Only two of the 50 reviews read were from the United Kingdom: one found it smaller and darker than expected and called the wood excellent, and one reported mould on the top, screws that did not match the holes, and a lower slat that fell off. The other 48 reviews in that read are not from the United Kingdom, and they often describe holes that need redrilling and fasteners that will not catch. Several of those non-UK reviews also doubt that the timber is teak and mention a lacquered look. A UK buyer is left with those two comments, and one of them is about mould and a slat that came away.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small plant stand or drinks table if you are ready to redrill and the teak line is a listing claim you can set aside.
Less suitable: Dining, or a first assembly where the holes must match the screws.
Specifications
Common questions
Is it stated as weatherproof?
The bullets place it on a patio, in the garden, at the beach or by a pool. No weatherproof test is named. The finish field says varnish.
What size and weight does the listing give?
The size line is 33 × 40.5 × 44.5 cm. Item weight is 3.75 kg.
What load does the listing state?
The maximum weight recommendation is 200 pounds.
We scored seven amazon.co.uk listings. Stars contribute up to 40 points, review volume up to 20, and listing consistency up to 25, covering whether size, species, load and fold, shelf or parasol lines agree. A United Kingdom review sample contributes up to 10, and shelf price up to 5. There is no laboratory test. None of these listings states BS EN 581-3. Arrival damage, a fold clash, fewer than 20 reviews, shared review texts and contradictory load lines reduce the score.
Amazon stars
40%The amazon.co.uk star line is converted to a maximum of 40 points. That figure is not a laboratory score.
Review volume
20%Review counts are banded, from 2 points under 20 reviews up to 12 points for 400–999 reviews. A large count does not repair a conflicting size or load line.
Listing consistency
25%Size, species or material, load, and fold, shelf or parasol lines score up to 25 when they agree. Two figures for the same fact score less, or zero when they conflict.
UK review sample
10%Written United Kingdom reviews score up to 10 when the sample is large enough and belongs to that ASIN. A sample shared with another ASIN scores less. Comments from outside the UK are not treated as UK experience.
Price
5%Shelf price scores up to 5, and only when the review count meets the band. Fewer than 20 reviews scores 1. Price does not outweigh a clash in the listing.
Start with the job the top has to do, then the species and the winter plan. A 170 × 90 cm dining top and a 40 cm side table are different purchases. Measure the patio, including chairs, and allow about 60 cm of edge per adult as a rule of thumb. If you want a hanging garden seat rather than a table, see the [swing bench comparison](/hub/garden-furniture). This page does not rank picnic benches, chair sets, bird tables, resin tops or indoor kitchen tables.
A wooden garden table, in this comparison, is a dining, bistro or side table in teak, acacia, meranti or a similar woody material for a UK patio. It is not a bird table, a resin or aluminium top, a plastic folding table, a picnic bench, a chair set or an indoor kitchen table. Shoppers on amazon.co.uk are mostly choosing between a hardwood dining top around 74–75 cm high and a small side table for a balcony. The seven listings fall into those jobs.
Teak oil on dark red meranti is a finish line, not a species. Bamboo is a grass. Read the material field and the bullets together.
A 5 cm hole aligns the pole. UK sellers still expect a weighted base, and the parasol is not in these boxes.
If the same page states 163 kg and 80 kg, or 15 pounds beside a seating claim of 4, do not pick the friendlier figure in silence.
Role and size decide whether a wooden garden table fits the patio you have. A 170 × 90 cm dining top and a 40 cm side table solve different jobs. The Furinno square is 74.2 cm high and about 89.9 cm across. The GiantexUK acacia size field is 170 × 90 × 75 cm, while another line says 170 × 170 × 75 cm, and the title also names 100 cm and 200 cm options. The folding bistro is 70 × 70 × 73 cm for two people and 6 kg, and its size fields agree.
Buy the species the fields name, not the finish word. Teak oil on dark red meranti is not teak, and bamboo is a grass. The Furinno square says dark red meranti with teak oil in the bullets and teak wood in the top field. The coffee table clashes in the same way. Utoplike bullets say plantation teak and the finish field says varnish. Both Momleix listings name bamboo. The GiantexUK dining table and the folding bistro name acacia.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a top around 74–75 cm high, a way for rain to leave the surface, and a winter plan. Allow about 60 cm of edge per adult and measure the patio, including chairs. The Furinno square is near 90 cm. Do not treat its 15 pound load line as a figure for four place settings.
You need a light side table or a 70 cm folding bistro, not a 19 kg, 170 cm top. The Momleix black Ost-001 is about 3 kg with two tiers. Plan around the 80 kg specification, because the bullets also say 163 kg.
If you will not oil the timber, UK guidance points to teak left to silver rather than acacia. The only plantation-teak listing here is the Utoplike side table, about 3.75 kg. It is not a dining top, and one United Kingdom review reports mould, mismatched screws and a slat that fell off.
The highest editorial score is the Furinno Tioman square, B07KD6SY4X, a top near 90 cm at about £45.75. It is the top pick only if you can live with a meranti and teak clash, a fold line the reviews do not match, and a stated load of 15 pounds. The best value is the Momleix Ost-001 in black, B0H1QXRFD9, at about £20.89. It is the higher-scoring of the two listings at that price which also clear a score of 50 and 20 reviews. Use the 80 kg specification, not the 163 kg bullet. The GiantexUK 170 cm table is the large acacia dining option, with seven reviews and a size-line clash, so it is not the top pick.
Momleix Ost-001, black
Lowest shelf price among listings that score at least 50 and have at least 20 amazon.co.uk reviews. Both Ost-001 colours are about £20.89; the black listing scores 55 against 53. Plan around the 80 kg specification.
