Clean Lined Outdoor Buffet Table
You can pick from a dark brown or dark gray finish with this buffet table. It comes with five hanging hooks for tools or dishtowels, a spice rack, and a paper towel holder. Two shelves and a cupboard offer plenty of storage.
Designer Advice:
Family barbeques don’t have to be full of running back and forth with this table. Its sleek and clean-lined design is a great option for slate patios, especially if you choose the dark gray finish. Moreover, the doors mean you won’t have any accidental broken plates when kids are running around. Pair it with cream cushions on ridged deckchairs.
