Geoff:
I presume that you are referring to the picnic which was in GOF, not 
COS (Harry doesn't meet Bill and Charlie until then).

If so, we are told that they were "two battered old tables" 
(GOF "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes" p.57 UK edition) and not produced for 
the occasion. Secondly, where does the idea come from that conjured 
objects are transient? There is evidence in at least two places - 
probably more - that objects are removed by using the 
spell "Evanesco".
