This “Super Cute” Outdoor Bench Has a Secret Mini Table (It’s Perfect for Small Spaces!)

Patio season is officially here, but if you live in a city apartment like I do, you’ll know it’s hard to actually make use of narrow outdoor spaces. I’ve had one too many experiences where I’ve realized a seemingly perfect table and chair set I found on Facebook Marketplace won’t fit on my very tiny patio. I’ve since resorted to fold-up camping chairs that have drink holders on the arms (not the cutest solution, but it works) — until now. After stumbling upon the cutest small-space Amazon find while scrolling Instagram, I’m reconsidering my outdoor patio situation for this summer.

As creator Chelsea Hope put it in her video, “Was looking for a bench, ended up with a bench + table.” The video features the $139 Devoko Outdoor Bench, which is basically a two-person loveseat that hides a retractable matching table in its design. 

Measuring 34.6 inches in height and 55.1 inches in length, the real magic is in the bench’s narrow space-friendly design at only 18.3 inches in width — perfect for those who may only have a 3- or 4-foot wide patio — and the fact that the matching table takes up no extra square footage.

The warm-hued Acacia wood — which is temperature and climate-resistant — and the nostalgic design of the garden-style bench are just as aesthetic as they are functional. However, the Devoko Outdoor Bench on Amazon sets itself apart with the pull-out table in the middle, which instantly creates a platform for you and a companion to hold your Aperol Spritzes, summer charcuterie plates, or dips while you hang out on your balcony. 

The 15.6×14.6-inch mini table is also a great morning setup for journaling or meditating with your favorite latte, or even a wind-down wine spot for watching the sunset. The best part is that you can lower the little table at any time by folding it back into the seat, giving you some extra seating back.

In the comments, numerous Amazon buyers called out the “good quality build,” “supercute” design, and the table’s ability to “hold a lot of weight.” It’s no surprise that the Devoko Outdoor Bench is almost sold out. You’ll want to act very quickly to ensure you score one before they’re all gone, or consider a similar design from Home Depot that’s also made out of Acacia wood and comes with a pop-up table in the middle, even though it’s a bit more expensive.

Priced at $168.57, the Karl Home Acacia Wood Outdoor Patio Bench with Built-in Table Park Bench Garden Bench is slightly longer than the Amazon version at 59 inches with a 24.4-inch width. The table is also slightly bigger, measuring 15.7×19.2 inches. However, if you have a little extra space on your patio and don’t have to worry about your outdoor setup being too narrow, this might be a good option.
