Comfortably seating 8-12 people at a picnic table generally means combining two long tables leaving guests confined to chatting with whomever is to either side of them, and passing food and libations down from one end to the other.

So what I love about Belgian brand Cassecroute’s new La Grande Ronde is that the circular picnic table is big enough to seat up to twelve people on 4 curved seats.

The powder-coated steel table is an all-in-one piece whose seats are all connected to a single center post–something like the old playground roundabouts of yesteryear, but without the spinning.
