I bought this to use for cooking on our tiny back porch.  With our small tabletop grill on this table it saves our back from bending over to use the grill and we can still utilize the space underneath.  It holds our little grill, the cooking utensils, a couple of plates of food, and a beer.  My husband has a chair pulled up right next to this useful table and sips on his beer while flipping burgers.  Works really well in our small space. And it looks cool too.
