Space-Saving
Our extendable outdoor dining sets and extendable outdoor dining tables are designed to make the most of any outdoor space, from compact city balconies to generous garden patios.

This adaptable design ensures you can host in comfort and style, whether it’s a quiet supper for two or a lively gathering of 12. Perfect for homes of all sizes, our outdoor patio table allows you to maximise your space without compromising on function or elegance.

Light Oak brings a bright, contemporary feel that lifts any terrace or balcony, while Dark Walnut adds depth and classic richness to garden spaces. Whether you want to coordinate with your current outdoor decor or create an eye-catching contrast, these versatile finishes provide a stylish base for year-round entertaining.
Outdoor Dining Set Care and Use
Picture it: a long summer evening in the garden, your extendable outdoor dining table laid out for a relaxed meal as the sun sets. The sound of conversation mingles with the clink of glasses, while a soft breeze moves through the air. Golden light reflects off the table’s smooth finish, turning your patio or terrace into the true heart of your home. Moments like these are why caring for your extendable outdoor dining set is so worthwhile.
Keeping it in top condition is simple with a few easy habits. Firstly, wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth after each use to clear away dust, pollen, or spills. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. During rainy spells or the colder winter months, protect your extendable outdoor dining table with a breathable, weatherproof cover to guard against moisture and UV exposure.
When not in use for extended periods, store the extension panels in a dry, sheltered space, or neatly inside your Transformer Outdoor Bar Cart. With regular care, your extendable outdoor dining set will be ready to welcome friends and family, season after season.
Factors to Consider Before Purchasing an Extendable Outdoor Dining Set
Before investing in an extendable outdoor dining set, it is worth considering a number of key factors: the space you have available, how you like to entertain, and the conditions your furniture will face throughout the year. The right extendable outdoor dining table should sit comfortably within your garden, patio, or balcony while offering the flexibility to adapt from weekday suppers to larger weekend gatherings. And the Transformer Outdoor Table does just that.

Assess your Space and Layout
Understanding your outdoor space and layout is an essential step in choosing the right extendable outdoor dining set and extendable outdoor table. The ideal fit should complement your garden or terrace, rather than restrict movement or reduce functionality.
That’s why the Transformer Outdoor Table is designed with flexibility in mind. Starting as a compact console just over 20 inches long, it can extend to over 9 feet when all five panels are added. This means you can adjust your extendable outdoor dining set to suit the occasion, whether it’s an intimate dinner or a lively al fresco celebration, all while maximising your available space. -
