DIY Outdoor Dining Table + Cube Stools

We needed an outdoor dining table that actually looked good — not a big box store basic. So I built one. Solid cedar frame, modern lines, seats six, and pairs with a matching bench and cube stools that I’m obsessed with. Build plans with build plans available for everything below.

For seating on one side, I built a bench that matches the table. Benches are great. They’re easy to build, they maximize your seating space, they don’t break the visual flow (as chairs do with seat backs), and they balance out the heaviness of a large table.

For seating on the other side, I wanted to do something different and ended up designing and building these amazing Cube Stools. And as I mentioned, I’m kind of obsessed.

They’re kind of like individual benches with similar benefits. I really love how they look and I love how mobile they are. I can see us moving one to use as a impromptu side table or extra seating near our Outdoor Lounge Chairs, or pulling one up to the stock tank pool for similar reasons…
