Good Questions: Waterproof side tables?

Hi AT,

I have aluminum webbed chairs/chaises and have been looking everywhere for something to go with them to hold my cold beers and iced tea.

I'm at a loss, there is nothing out there. I'm ready to throw a milk crate out there and call it a day. A plastic parsons table would be simple and good enough, but I can't even find that.

Note: Include pic(s) and your question gets posted first.

Any weather-proof accent tables come to mind?

Thanks,

Hi Jen,

Don't despair! Here are a few fun, modern deigns that are neutral enough to mix with most anything:

• West Elm's Square Metal Side Table
• Offi's Martini Table
• Offi's Tiki Stool

Anyone else?

The Mammut child's stool from Ikea might be a fun option and it's only 7 bucks.

I got a great, cheap outdoor table at Ikea recently--I can't remember the name or find it on the website, but it's basically metal legs that hold up two round white plastic trays that serve as a table top and a shelf underneath. The trays are removable, so you could actually use them to serve your beers and iced tea (if you have the balance for that).

Joanns (who's having trouble logging in at the moment) says, "I wanted to reply to the person who asked about a water proof side table. This one is cute and cheap!!!!
Oilcloth Optic Table from urbanoutfitters.com $29."
