It seems like the patio furniture I've been finding is exclusively 4-6 seaters. I hate picnic tables because of the tendency to flip ;)

Any ideas? Found a set at crate and barrel, but I don't think it would fit under our pergola and it's like $1700 :drop:

If we had more room outside I would get this from Ikea:
IKEA | Home | Summer | Summer furniture | Tables & table sets | ÄPPLARÖ Drop-leaf table (http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=3&langId=-15&catalogId=10103&partNumber=00051056)
I love wooden tables for the outdoors.

We bought a kit that you make into a table in which the top flips down to make the table into a bench with a back. We used the maximum length of 2 x 4s suggested to make it. It seats a minimum of 5 on each side & 2 at each end. We bought two kits to join together as one full table.
