If you follow me on Instagram (@avaberrylane) you know if I am shopping for anything HOME, I will need to view every option before I choose one. I will often get something in my head that I wish I could design myself and then spend weeks searching for just that thing (and in the meantime see everything else)!
This is great news for you, because as I've been shopping for outdoor furniture for our new ultra-modern backyard, I have seen every dining table on the internet.
Here are my TOP 10! Keep in mind these are all modern, made-it-on-my-list-for-our-backyard options. They cover a range of price points and all seat at least 6. You will see I'm drawn to the square table leg base design - this is because it reads much more modern regardless of materials, but is also functional. It lends well to pulling a chair up on the table ends without awkwardly straddling anything or having the end chairs stick out too far. So many wins there. Let's get to it!

EDGE Outdoor Dining Table
Price Point: $$$
I love this table because it is modern but extremely functional and classic. It's made my POLYWOOD, known for its durability in the elements and comes in a variety of colors.
Sorrento Expandable Acacia Wood Table
Price Point: $
This table also has classic appeal but with a modern twist, AND it's affordable. The thin slatted wood is very on-trend and the square legs give it an updated feel. Acacia wood is a great option for outdoors and it's EXPANDABLE which is a huge bonus. Comes in 2 colors.
Rio Teak Table
Price Point: $$$
This table is a higher price point but undoubtedly comes with higher quality construction and materials. Teak is the best wood to use for outdoor use. The main reason this table made the list is because it matches one of my favorite sets of outdoor dining chairs out there which I'll be sharing in a separate post! Comes in multiple sizes.
Marciana Graywashed Table
Price Point: $$
This table is my favorite of the GRAYWASHED wood tables out there. Of course it has the modern leg structure that I am drawn to, the finish is beautiful and the price point is right down the comfy middle.
Ace Outdoor Dining Table
Price Point: $$
This is the table we ultimately chose for our backyard! A part of that decision was the price point, but we also felt it wasn't compromising on the things we wanted like the concrete table top, the modern base and general size and shape. Concrete tables (as you will see coming up) are typically NOT cheap and this was a great middle ground.
We also went with dining chairs that have the same diagonal legs so the look together feels a lot more high-end than it actually is (which is always a win)!
Crew Outdoor Dining Table
Price Point: $$
Another Living Spaces pick, I love this table because it has small details that elevate it and make it feel more custom and high-end than the reasonable price point. The varied slat width table top and rounded edges make this table feel unique while remaining a classic wood outdoor dining table. This table can also lean modern or more rustic depending on the chairs you pair with it.
Belize Wood/Metal Dining Table
Price Point: $$
I love the mixed media tables and this is another great option. The metal base gives it a more modern feel and the monochromatic, gray hues are beautiful in the right space.
Lambrate Concrete Dining Table
Price Point: $$$
THIS was actually my first pick of tables for our space but my husband was maxed out on rounded edges once we purchased our lounge furniture with rounded backs. SO, I hope one of you can snag it! This table is perfection, high quality, beautifully designed and constructed and comes in white terrazzo as well as gray concrete. This table is both on trend and will never age or go out of style.
Portside Concrete/Wood Dining Table
Price Point: $$$
With a higher budget you get higher quality and that is what we're looking at here. The concrete color and thickness of the table top, the use of real weathered wood that is made to last in the elements - these are all details that really hold their weight when seen in person. Though the design is more modern, these materials will stand the test of time both functionally and stylistically.
Pomona Dining Table
Price Point: $$$$
This table is modern perfection! The thickness of the concrete top paired with the solid wood table base is breathtaking, show-stopping and timeless. Natural materials and simple design will never go out of style and can blend in any type of decor. This is a piece that will last a lifetime and be the focal point of your space.
I hope this round-up was helpful! As always we keep it real around here. Budget matters. And so, materials and design matter. It is totally possible, on nearly any budget, to make distinct and wholistic design choices that will reflect your style and create a functional, useable, welcoming space for your family and friends. So go out there and build a home you love, that reflects you and welcomes others. And where there's food. xx
