I purchased the tables to go with the lounge chairs around my pool.  The wind can get pretty strong at times and the tables have enough weight to not be blown around.  Also--they are very easy to store when we close the pools area.

I purchased 10 of the bar stools and couldn't be happier.  They are perfect for our outdoor bar and grill.  They are comfortable and sturdy.  I wanted stools with a back and arms.
