Inspiration: AlFresco Triple Tray Pedestal

In the garden or on the deck, dining is an informal affair and an extra guest or two is not unusual. Finding room for everyone along with large platters of food, drinks, plates and cutlery can be challenging. No one wants to be running back and forth from the house to the kitchen. To find a place for everything, consider levels...

This Triple Tray Pedestal is one option. Candles, fruit, dessert, salad, main dish, condiments, plants, can all find a space at the table and no one has to miss anything cause they had to run back inside to get something. Try a similar arrangement using a collection of cake stands or for something temporary, but a lot less sturdy, try plates stacked on upside down glasses or cups (this works particularly well if your outdoor china is melamine, paper or plastic).
