With outdoor dining and home offices as the new norm, there's no better outdoor space to dine and entertain than your very own backyard. Whether you live somewhere that's always warm and sunny or simply making the most of cloudless days, an outdoor dining table can totally transform your space. It's the perfect spot to sip a morning coffee, host backyard barbecues, or get a bit of fresh air while you work from home.

But with so many options to choose from, shopping for a new outdoor dining set can come with a lot of head-scratching and second-guessing. To help you find the perfect one, we've rounded up the 16 best patio dining tables on the market, along with some helpful tips to help you narrow down your search.

How to Choose an Outdoor Dining Table

Your outdoor furniture should offer a good balance of functionality, durability, and style. Here are a few things to consider when choosing an outdoor dining set:

• Size and seating capacity— The right outdoor table provides enough room for everyone to sit comfortably without overcrowding your space. Taking a few measurements of your deck or patio (and your current dining table, if you've got one) can help you better understand what size to look for.
• Table shape— Similarly, you'll need to consider what table shape-round, square, rectangular, or ovular— works best in your dining area.
• Material— To withstand the elements, your dining table must be designed specifically for outdoor use. Whether it's made of teak wood, cast aluminum, or heavy-duty plastic, the material needs to offer some water- and weather resistance. Covering your table with a protective cover between uses will help keep your table looking its best for longer.
• Appearance—Just as importantly, your table needs to coordinate with your other outdoor furniture. With endless products to choose from, there's sure to be one that complements your current decor style.
• Price— Sticking to a budget doesn't require cutting back on quality or style. There are plenty of affordable options still worth adding to your space. But if there's one piece of patio furniture to splurge on, it's undoubtedly this!
