Extendable garden table: the perfect combination of practicality and conviviality
An extendable garden table is the practical, functional, and friendly ally of your terrace.
When the nice weather arrives, the garden becomes a true living space, an extension of your interior. The extendable garden table is then the key element to enjoy a family meal, a barbecue with friends, or even a moment of relaxation outdoors. Designed to adapt to outdoor use, this type of table offers serenity, flexibility, and functionality.
Ideal for accommodating up to 12 guests without cluttering the space daily, the extendable garden table allows you to optimize your terrace, balcony, or garden while adding a touch of elegance to your outdoor furniture.
What is an extendable garden table?
An extendable garden table is a table whose length adjusts thanks to an integrated (or removable) extension system. The extension mechanism can take different forms: central extension, drop-leaf, butterfly, sliding, or even with retractable leaves.
This system allows modularity since when folded the table takes up very little space and once unfolded, it can accommodate up to 12 people depending on the chosen model.
The advantages of an extendable garden table
1. Space saving
One of the main advantages of the extendable garden table is its ability to adapt to your needs. You can enjoy a compact table daily, saving space, while being able to extend it in a few moves during friendly meals depending on the number of guests.
2. Versatility
Every terrace, balcony, or garden can accommodate an extendable garden table. It easily fits into all types of outdoor spaces.
3. Design and varied materials
The extendable wooden garden table, the extendable aluminum garden table, the woven resin garden table, there are several options. We once again recommend choosing based on your place of residence (is it near the sea, does it rain a lot, etc.)
At Mobellia, we offer different models, in aluminum with aluminum tops, tempered glass, or cemented composite, in various colors, lightweight and easy to move.
Aluminum also has the advantage of being very easy to maintain. A simple cloth, water, and soap are enough to clean your aluminum extendable garden table.

How to choose your extendable garden table?
Before buying an extendable garden table, we recommend paying attention to several criteria:
Size and seating capacity
Assess the available space on your terrace or garden as well as the number of people you usually host. An extendable table from 120 to 160 cm is suitable for 4 to 6 people, while a model of 200 cm or more can accommodate up to 12 guests.
The extension system
Choose a mechanism that is easy to use. Butterfly or sliding extensions are particularly convenient for quick opening. Also check the stability once the table is extended.
At Mobellia, we are committed to offering extension systems that are easy and quick to install or remove, allowing you to always have extensions at hand to accommodate all your guests, even last-minute ones.
Materials
-
Wood (teak, eucalyptus, acacia): warm and natural, but requires regular maintenance.
-
Aluminum: lightweight, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean.
-
Woven resin: aesthetic and weather-resistant.
-
Tempered glass: modern and elegant, but can be more fragile.
Aesthetics
Although practicality is essential, the aesthetic aspect remains just as important. Harmonize your extendable garden table with your garden chairs, parasol, and other decorative elements. The choice of colors, legs, or finishes can transform your outdoor space into a true summer lounge.
Maintenance of an extendable garden table
Maintenance mainly depends on the material:
-
Wood: apply a protective oil every year.
-
Aluminum or treated steel: cleaning with soapy water is sufficient.
-
Resin or plastic: low maintenance, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
-
Glass: use a special window cleaner to avoid streaks.
