One of the joys of living in 2025 is that having a small outdoor space doesn’t have to kill your al fresco dinner dreams. There are thousands of smart designs out there waiting to perform their little magic tricks in front of your eyes. Recently, we spotted an incredibly clever piece of furniture on DIYer West on Willow’s TikTok feed that we can’t stop thinking about. Why? Because it’s a bench that seamlessly transforms into a picnic table.
@westonwillow Warning: small spaces can cause excessive creativity! Similar bench to table combos are linked on my LTK ☀️ #smallspaceliving #outdoordesign

Tierra Garden’s convertible, two-in-one piece is available on Amazon, and lucky for us all, it’s priced under $200. It’s a great investment if you’ve only got enough room for a single piece of furniture, but you want the flexibility to lounge during the day and host friends at night (it can comfortably seat four).
Made of Canadian hemlock, it’s built to withstand rain showers, high wind, and any other weather that may pass through your deck or balcony. If you’ve got the DIY bug, you could easily paint or stain it for a more custom look. The best part: Turning it into a table is simple—certainly a single-person job—and only requires a simple lift and pull.
The final cherry on top is the umbrella slot in the middle of the table, making it easy to add some shade on those sweltering summer days. Consider this the new personality hire of your backyard.
