Neither material is universally better — it depends on what you value. Choose cedar if you love the look, feel, and scent of real wood, don't mind periodic maintenance, and prefer a traditional or rustic aesthetic. Choose polyresin if you want a maintenance-free table that keeps its look year after year without restaining, especially in a harsh climate. The best picnic table is the one that matches your entertaining habits, location, and appetite for upkeep. (If pure longevity is your deciding factor, see the next question — poly wins on lifespan.)
