Tables at Behind The Pines Amsterdam
Tables at Behind The Pines Amsterdam are selected for outdoor use, compact storage, and a clean look that works just as well on a terrace as it does at camp. This collection focuses on practical table designs for people who want a stable surface without unnecessary bulk, whether that means a folding camp table, a lightweight side table, or a more refined piece for balcony or garden use.
Tables for camp, terrace and everyday use
A good outdoor table needs to do a few things well: stay stable, pack down easily, and hold up to repeated use. That is why we look for smart construction, reliable materials, and simple setup. In this collection you will find tables that suit weekend camping, picnics in the park, cooking outside, or creating a compact base for your city outdoor space.
For customers building a complete setup, tables often make most sense together with camping chairs, camping outdoor essentials and practical gear from outdoor gear. If you are looking to keep things compact, the right table can make a small space feel much more usable without taking over the room.
What makes a good outdoor table
Material choice matters. Aluminium tables are usually light, easy to move, and simple to clean. Wooden or wood-look surfaces bring a warmer feel and work well when the table is used more often at home or on a terrace. The best options balance weight, packed size, and load capacity so they can handle real use, not just look good in a product photo.
Details such as folding legs, reinforced joints, adjustable height, and stable feet make a clear difference on uneven ground. If you cook outside, it is worth checking the heat resistance and the available surface area. If the table will travel often, packed length and carry weight become just as important as size when opened up.
How to choose the right table
Start with where you will use it most. For camping, bikepacking, and road trips, a folding table with a low packed volume is usually the most practical choice. For a balcony, garden, or indoor-outdoor space, a heavier and more solid table can make more sense because stability and appearance matter more than packability.
Think about how many people need to use it. A two-person setup can stay compact, while family meals, cooking, or group use call for a wider tabletop and a stronger frame. If you want a table for meal prep, pair it with gear from our cooking collection. If the setup is mainly for relaxed evenings, a lower and more compact format is often enough.
Height is another detail that is easy to overlook. A table that sits too low can feel awkward with standard chairs, while a taller model may be better for food preparation or casual dining. If you are unsure, compare the table with your seating and the way you actually use outdoor space day to day.
Made for Amsterdam living
In Amsterdam, outdoor furniture often has to do more than one job. A table may need to move from a balcony to a park, from storage to a campsite, or from a kitchen corner to the canal side when the weather allows it. That is why compact storage, easy handling, and durable finishes matter so much.
For smaller spaces, a well-designed table can be the difference between making use of the outdoors and leaving it unused. For travel, it gives you a proper surface for cooking, eating, and setting up gear. For home use, it adds structure without making the space feel heavy.

Frequently asked questions
What size table should I choose?
Choose based on the number of users and how you will use it. Small tables work well for solo setups, coffee, or cooking support. Larger tables are better for shared meals and longer stays.
Are folding tables stable enough for camping?
Yes, if the frame and leg design are well made. Look for reinforced joints, wide feet, and a proper weight rating, especially if you plan to cook on or near the table.
Which material is best for outdoor use?
Aluminium is the most practical for portability and low maintenance. Wood and mixed-material designs are often better for terrace or home use where appearance matters more than pack weight.
Can I use an outdoor table for cooking?
Many can, but not all are meant for direct heat. Check heat resistance and surface durability if you plan to place cookware, stoves, or hot dishes on it.
How do I care for an outdoor table?
Wipe it down after use, store it dry when possible, and check folding points or hardware regularly. This helps keep the table stable and extends its life.
Do you have more outdoor gear to complete the setup?
Yes. Take a look at our tents and camping chairs for a more complete camp or garden setup.
