Most outdoor furniture serves a single purpose. Chairs are for sitting and tables are for eating, but occasionally, there’s a multifunctional find that pulls double duty, like the Arlmont & Co. convertible picnic table at Wayfair.
The two-in-one piece works as a spacious picnic table with seating for up to four people and a garden bench that fits two. It’s also small-space friendly, easy to convert, made of durable, solid wood, and under $220.

The piece is from weather- and decay- resistant Canadian Hemlock wood that’s supportive and strong yet lightweight compared to other wood types, making it easy to move around your backyard as needed. While it weighs just 44 pounds, it can hold up to 650 pounds when used as a bench, and 440 pounds on each side when converted to a table. It’s also compact, making it ideal for small patios or backyard gardens. In bench form, it’s just 4.5 feet long and 2.3 feet deep, and when fully transformed into a picnic table, it’s just under 5 feet in length with a 4.5 foot depth.
Converting the piece is as simple as using one hand. In bench form, the seat lifts and flips over the back to instantly create a table. The sturdy metal screws won’t stick, and there are no additional pieces required to keep the furniture in place and sturdy. Once it’s finished being used as a table, the picnic seat flips over the table to be used as a bench again.
While the functionality of this two-in-one find is useful it also looks great. The wood has a natural grain that adds a rustic element to outdoor spaces, and there’s a built-in hole for an umbrella to add shade or a pop of color. The wood is also raw, so it can be stained or painted to suit your style.
Shoppers love the picnic table and are fans of how compact it is. One person with a “very small city backyard” said it’s the ideal size, and another customer with a tiny patio added that it’s ideal “as a space saver.” Other reviewers praised the versatility, explaining that they use it for outdoor dining and game nights. One person even bought two in order to create a larger seating area.
Whether you have a small patio, limited space in your backyard, or prefer pieces that serve several purposes, the Arlmont & Co. Picnic Table’s two-in-one design is the way to go. And keep scrolling to see even more convertible outdoor furniture we found at Wayfair.
