The Top Patio Tables: Budget-Friendly Outdoor Tables

Bamboo is being used for all kinds of things lately -- flooring, bedsheets, tableware. But bamboo furniture has been around probably as long as, well, someone to make and sit in it. Bamboo 54's outdoor coffee table is made of the real stuff, and even includes an easy knock-down feature for quick assembly. Carrying the smart space-saving design one step further, the Bamboo 54 coffee table features a rack or shelf underneath to store things like magazines and books.

Make it the Summer of Love with this "Age of Aquarius"-inspired Pisces side table that's exclusive to CB2. If you don't live in one of the urban areas that CB2 dwells -- like New York, Chicago, San Francisco and LA, then have fun tip-toeing through their online catalog. The Pisces side table is constructed of metal with a rust-resistant powdercoat finish that is fittingly dubbed "Cool Pool Blue." Square washers are welded to form the Pisces' tabletop. When not using it on your patio, balcony or outdoor space, bring it inside for an extra table.

Leave it to Grandin Road to come up with a patio table that's elegant and somewhat unusual looking. And by unusual looking, we mean not cookie cutter; sort of a stand-alone metal piece of art. Better yet, the Dahlia wrought-iron side table is fairly affordable. The Dahlia table has an elegantly intertwined hand-wrought-iron base; a lacy iron underlayment; a hand-applied, antiqued gold finish; and a glass tabletop. Can be easily assembled "in minutes."

OK: So the Jupiter is not exactly promoted as an outdoor table, but it's got all the makings of a great patio occasional table. That yummy-looking orange base from Zuo Modern is made of ABS (plastic resin) and the tapletop is clear tempered glass. For the more "traditional" modernists, there's the symmetrical Jupiter table, while the assymetrical crowd might gravitate toward the Belvedere. If orange isn't your thing, the base also comes in black and white. One word of advice: Don't keep this piece out in the sun for extended periods of time, because the resin might fade. You're better off keeping it under a patio cover or bringing it outside for entertaining.

Oxford Garden's end table is a go-with-anything piece of outdoor furniture that's both functional and great looking. The design on this piece is clean and simple, with a slat-style tabletop and square form. Its clean lines allow the shorea wood to stand out. Shorea is a hardwood similar to but stronger than the long-popular teak. Shorea has proven to be resistant to the evils of outdoor furniture, like weather, termites, water, and anything else that comes to mind. No doubt about it -- this table is heavy and solid. Like a good friend or a trusty appliance, this table's in for the long haul. And that's a good thing.
