Teak Outdoor Dining Table – 78 Inch, Seats 6, Solid Wood

A teak dining table, 78 inches long, seating six. That length gives each place setting around 26 inches of table edge, which is the width a person actually occupies at a meal, and it leaves the ends free rather than squeezing a seventh chair in.

Teak is the timber outdoor tables are made from because of what it does with water. The oils in the grain stop rain soaking in, so the top does not swell and split across a wet season the way an untreated hardwood would, and the same oils deter the fungi that rot other timbers left outside. A teak top left unfinished silvers evenly and can be sanded back if the original honey color is wanted.

It seats six on a terrace, a deck, or a covered patio, and it is long enough to need a run of clear space around it: allow about three feet on each side for chairs to be pulled out.
