Cheap picnic tables can be rented from a local pawn shop. Alternatively an advertisement could be put on Craigslist asking to rent a picnic table for a day.
There are wood craftsmen who can build such picnic tables for you which would be beautiful at a reasonable cost. Also, you could contact businesses which are closing and ask them about purchasing their used merchandise.
I think Costco may have some. Maybe even Walmart and you could try Home Depot as well. If all else fails the internet should be able to help you find the best picnic tables for your home.
You can purchase wood picnic tables at any hardware store, like Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Walmart or Sears. You can also buy them at Costco, Toys R Us and Sam's Club. If you're handy with a hammer and saw, you could even build your own.

Picnic tables have made a comeback and look great everywhere. Consider painting one a bold color such as turquoise, sunshine yellow or hot pink. The cheery colors can brighten up any season. Patterns such as polka dots, stripes and fleur de lis would add a charming touch as well. Picnic tables look good in yards, on decks, even in houses if a room is big enough. They are a wonderful addition to a craft room, a room used for schooling or a game room where the entire family could sit and play a board game or put together a puzzle.
