Ihland Extendable Outdoor Dining Table

Details at a Glance

FSC-certified Grade-A teak resists rot, insects, and moisture for 15-25 years outdoors without requiring constant refinishing or indoor storage between seasons. The HiTeak Ihland Extendable Outdoor Dining Table -- an extendable teak outdoor dining table that closes at 82.75 inches and opens to 118 inches -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Two self-storing leaves slide out on smooth glides so one person can expand the table in seconds when your guest count jumps from six to twelve.

How Does Grade-A Teak Hold Up to Rain and Sun?

Grade-A teak contains the highest natural oil content of any outdoor hardwood, which blocks water absorption and prevents splitting as the wood expands and contracts through seasonal humidity swings. Kiln-dried treatment removes excess moisture before construction, minimizing warping once the table settles into your climate. The hand-sanded natural finish will silver to a gray patina under UV exposure -- a protective weathering process, not damage -- though you can maintain the golden-brown color with teak oil every three to six months if you prefer. Slatted construction allows rainwater to drain freely instead of pooling on the surface, which is how standing water rots lesser woods.

Do You Have to Bring This Table Inside for Winter?

You don't -- the teak will survive freezing temperatures, snow, and ice without cracking. Marine-grade stainless steel hardware resists corrosion through repeated freeze-thaw cycles and handles coastal salt air without pitting or seizing, so the extension mechanism stays smooth year after year. Covering the table during months of non-use protects the surface from debris and slows the silvering process if you're maintaining the oiled finish, but the structure itself doesn't require indoor storage. Clean with mild soap and water quarterly to prevent mildew buildup in the slat gaps.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The Ihland works on covered patios where the teak can age to its silver patina at a slower pace, or on open decks where full sun accelerates the weathering -- both are fine for the wood. Position it with enough clearance behind the end chairs so you can pull out the extension leaves without rearranging the whole setup; if you're pairing it with pieces from our outdoor dining tables or outdoor bistro tables collections, leave at least 36 inches of walkway space around the perimeter when the table is fully extended. The 39.5-inch width fits standard six-foot deck sections without overhang.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this table stay outside all year in freezing climates?

Yes -- Grade-A teak and marine-grade stainless steel both handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or corroding, though a cover during extended winter non-use will keep debris out of the slat gaps.

Will the teak finish fade or turn gray in direct sun?

The natural golden-brown color will silver to gray under UV exposure, which is a protective patina, not deterioration. You can slow or reverse it with teak oil applied every three to six months.

Is this suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- marine-grade stainless steel hardware resists salt-air corrosion, and teak's natural oil content blocks moisture intrusion that causes rot in coastal humidity.

How do the extension leaves store when not in use?

Two leaves store inside the table structure and slide out on built-in glides, so you don't need separate storage space or tools to expand seating from six to twelve people.

How long does Grade-A teak last outdoors without treatment?

FSC-certified Grade-A teak provides 15-25 years of outdoor use with no treatment required, though periodic cleaning and optional oiling extend the lifespan further.

Does this ship fully assembled or does it require setup?

Minimal assembly is required -- approximately 30 minutes to attach the legs and install the extension hardware using the included tools. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
