I needed an outdoor table that was lightweight and didn’t need repainting every 2 years like all my others. Modern Outdoor, DWR, even West Elm didn’t have quite what I was looking for. I’m in Home Depot and as I turn the corner in the plumbing section, there it is…gleaming galvanized metal.
It’s a stand for a water heater tank, but it was my new outdoor table…for $19.99. I’ve had it 4 years and it looks as good as new – takes the weather like a champ, is easy to move around and has a nice amount of table top space to use as either a coffee table or a side table. Loft livers might like this indoors as well and the smooth table top surface is good for kids arts and crafts too – just hose off the paints! Get a couple more and you can group 3 together as a long coffee table for appetizers on the deck.
