After several compliments and several BBQ's, this side table/cooler combo was the best purchase for the price.  The added bonus of having it serve as a cooler made it that more valuable that I ended up buying a second.  The side table is very easy to clean and the drinks stayed cold for hours after the ice melted.  Draining was super easy since all that was needed was to pull out the little plug in the cooler and then wipe down.  Highly recommend this purchase!
