Entertaining outdoors is mostly a logistics problem. Plates, tongs, napkins, ice and a dozen other things need a staging point that is not the dining table, and this 48 in rattan sideboard provides exactly that. The countertop runs the full width of the unit and carries up to 110 lbs, enough for a loaded tray, a drinks cooler or a pair of serving platters, and protective baffles along the edge keep bottles from travelling off the side when someone leans in. Below the surface, three doors and a drawer split the storage into parts that make sense. The drawer measures 14 by 13 by 6 in and takes 25 lbs of the small things, corkscrews, skewers, lighters, while the two interior shelves each hold 80 lbs and can be raised, lowered or removed entirely. Take them out and the cabinet becomes tall storage for a leaf blower or a folded umbrella leave them in and it is tidy shelving for cushions and cookware. The construction pairs sun-protective Pe rattan with a metal frame.
