A selection of our folding tables are handmade on the Gold Coast from timber manufactured from sustainably grown Australian and New Zealand plantation pine.
Picnic tables can hold from two to six wine glasses, and a bottle of wine or an ice bucket, depending on the style you choose. All they need to do is select their favourite vino, and add a delicious antipasto platter of cheese, olives, salami, and dates to share.
Perfect for intimate gatherings for two, as well as fond catch ups with a best group of friends, our low-level picnic tables have folding legs so they are easy to carry and store.
