How to Spot the Perfect Picnic Table and Bench Set

In 1903, Charles H. Nielsenof Kreischer Ville, New York, filed a patent for the design and production of simple picnic tables. This invention is simple yet brilliant. More than a hundred years later, it's still used by many across the globe.

His goal was to provide an improved table that is collapsible, easy to transport, store, and unfolded when needed, at the same time, affordable. It is precisely the reason why the design was kept simple.

Today, there is a fantastic variety of picnic tables to choose from. Some still take on Nielsen's original design with the angled legs and the crossbar supporting the benches.

Some designs evolved into more accessible types; these are the walk-through versions. It has gained traction because it can accommodate wheelchairs. You need not crossover a plank just to be seated.

The others are not anymore portable. It's mounted permanently into the ground. A permanent fixture wherein its legs are drilled into the ground to support the top and benches. Several parks have these, and portability got stricken out to give way to free access and durability.

The size of the picnic table has also evolved so it can accommodate more guests, as its shape creatively modified to fit this purpose. Demand for a customized variant for kids emerged due to a customer-driven trend. The versatility of the picnic table, as well as the identified time-honored values that a multi-functional table represents, are attracting parents buy-ins. 

It provides an alternative space to share meals, study and perform school assignments and projects, and an avenue to socialize and interact with friends and family members among their age group.
