I have the smaller 27 inch table, why does it cost more? I needed a smaller table for my balcony to match chairs I already owned. This was perfect, it is very sturdy and love the Basket/ shelf on the bottom. It can be installed both ways, I like having the basket for those items that blow away. It is 15 inches across, 3 inches deep. I was  not expecting it to be so large! Nice surprise. The table is a great size for two, you could easily fit 4 around it for drinks, snacks and conversation. I have a small place and very little storage area, I can easily keep this table in a back room with one of my outdoor wicker chairs during colder months, it is nice enough to use indoors and especially if your thinking to use it in a sun room.
