round table - how to extend seating

[Anonymous]

Our outdoor round metal patio dining table seats 4 comfortably and 6 can squeeze. There are occasional times we want to seat 8-10. I’m trying
to think creatively how to expand the seating without buying a new table for 10, since the need is only occasional.

If I could find another round table of close to the same height/diameter, could I push them against each other and cover with table cloths? This works great with rectangle shaped tables but not sure about rounds. Any other ideas for me?

Thanks.

Obviously, you cannot push round tables together without the shape being awkward. Your best bet might be to DIY a piece of plywood to make your round table into a square. Then, push a card table up to the square table and add tablecloth (+ padding, if needed) to make it pretty.

If it's occasional, do what the rest of us do: set up a card table.

We have a folding 6' table for these occasions. $60-80 at costco.

make a bigger round out of plywood to put on top. get a big tablecloth.

Folding tables, especially because beautiful table cloths look so great outside.

Just get a folding table and use it instead of the round table when you need more space. Will require a festive tablecloth. When not in use, fold and store in garage/basement.
