La Costa Teak Patio Wide-Plank Dining Table

Details at a Glance

Grade-A teak holds natural oils that fight off rot, insects and moisture damage season after season without chemical treatments or annual sealing. The La Costa Teak Patio Wide-Plank Dining Table is an 86.5-inch rectangular teak outdoor dining table for six to eight guests, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. It starts with a warm honey finish and naturally weathers to silvery-grey if left untreated, giving you control over how it ages.

How Well Does Grade-A Teak Handle Rain and Sun?

Grade-A teak is harvested from mature trees with the highest oil content, which protects the wood from moisture penetration and insect damage without you having to seal it. The natural oils also resist UV degradation, so the structure won't weaken in direct sun even as the surface color shifts over time. Marine-grade stainless steel hardware won't rust in coastal or high-humidity climates, and the 160-pound solid construction confirms you're getting authentic teak rather than veneered alternatives that delaminate after a few wet seasons.

Does Teak Need to Be Oiled, and Will It Turn Grey?

You don't have to oil this table -- the natural teak oils already in the wood do the work. If you prefer to keep the original honey tone, apply a teak sealer annually; skip it and the surface will weather to a silvery-grey patina within six to twelve months, which is a normal part of teak aging and doesn't harm the wood. The hand-sanded finish stays smooth in either state, so the table won't splinter whether you treat it or let it go grey.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

This table is designed for covered patios and protected outdoor spaces -- locations where a roof or pergola blocks direct rain and snow. Grade-A teak handles moisture exposure far better than pine or acacia, but sustained soaking and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on any wood joinery. If your setup is fully exposed, move the table under cover or tarp it during the wettest months; if it's already under a roof, you can leave it out year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size outdoor table seats eight people comfortably?

Tables between 84 and 96 inches long seat eight adults with standard 24-inch per-person spacing; this 86.5-inch model accommodates six to eight depending on chair width.

Is teak or aluminum better for an outdoor dining table?

Teak offers authentic wood grain and a self-weathering patina with a 20- to 30-year lifespan, while aluminum provides lighter weight and a uniform finish. Teak requires no sealing but costs more up front.

Can I stop teak from turning grey?

Yes -- apply a teak sealer once a year to maintain the honey tone. Without sealer, the wood will develop a silvery-grey patina that's characteristic of aged teak and doesn't indicate damage.

Does this table have an umbrella hole?

No, this table is designed for covered patios and doesn't include an umbrella hole.

What kind of chairs pair with a wide-plank teak table?

Rope-wrapped or metal-frame chairs provide textural contrast against the wide wood planks; look at weather-resistant styles in our outdoor dining tables collection for coordinating sets.

Does the table arrive assembled, or is assembly included with delivery?

Assembly takes approximately one to two hours and is not included with free curbside delivery; white-glove assembly is available upon request for an additional fee.
