A wooden picnic table is one of the most practical and classic purchases that you could make to improve your outdoor space. Whether you are outfitting a backyard, a campground, or a lakeside cabin, the same choice between a round or rectangular construction can mean quite a difference in appearance and use.

Are you looking for a wooden picnic table? If yes, look no further than Moon Valley Rustics. We will guide you to make the choice of which is more suited or your lifestyle and outdoor setting, and at the same time discuss the beauty and strength of a Wooden Picnic Table.

The Classic Appeal of Rectangular Picnic Tables

Classically speaking, rectangular picnic tables are the traditional option and seem to always be in style. We have a clean, simple appeal and have the ability to fit more people, thus making us a prime pick for larger gatherings, family dining, or outdoor events. The extended shape means more surface space for dining, which means serving food or hosting a cookout is that much easier with a rectangular picnic table.

A large benefit is that rectangular picnic tables typically fit better in long and narrow spaces (i.e., back yards and patios). We can easily be pushed against a wall or fit under a canopy or pergola. Moon Valley Rustics crafts wooden rectangular picnic tables that perfectly balance durability and rustic charm, a great compliment to all your outdoor needs year after year.

If you find yourself entertaining a great number of people or prefer a traditional layout to eating or playing games, a rectangular table may be the option for you.

The Social Magic of Round Picnic Tables

Round picnic tables have a warm, intimate vibe for dining. A circular table encourages conversation with face-to-face contact, a plus for small groups and casual gatherings. No one is stuck at the end of the table, and everyone is middle to the center, perfect for sharing snacks, appetizers, and board games.

Round wooden picnic tables are also perfect for smaller spaces or more open spaces, where you want a centerpiece that does not dominate the area. The soft edges of a round table are great for kids, and there is no hard line dividing the table from the surrounding outdoor space, so the circular shape has a more natural look as well.

Moon Valley Rustics makes some lovely round options, too, all made of solid weather-resistant and aesthetically beautiful cedar wood. If what you are looking for is a relaxed, social feel, the round shape is a clear choice.

Durability, Maintenance, and Style

Whether you select a table in a round or rectangular shape, the quality of the wood and the creation of craftsmanship are essential. Wooden picnic tables offered by Moon Valley Rustics are made with northern white cedar, which has a natural and inherent resistance to decay, rot, and insects. You can extend the amount of time to enjoy your outdoor space, versus worrying about maintenance.

Both round and rectangular shapes are available in stained or natural wood to choose the best one that suits your outdoor décor. Some customers prefer to let their cedar picnic table age naturally and develop a silvery patina, while others choose to seal or stain the wood and preserve the color.

What You Should Ask Yourself Before Deciding

Before selecting, ask yourself the following:

  1. How would the table be used by how many individuals?
  2. What is your space is available?
  3. Would you rather have a more formal dining room presentation or a casual, social seating place?
  4. Do we have children who would be helped by rounded corners?

Both shapes are valuable, and the question should depend on your needs and space. The upside? Either way, you are investing in an outdoor piece of furniture that is both functional and comfortable and will have timeless style.
