Aluminum Outdoor End Table – Distressed Bronze, Slim Side Table

A slim aluminum end table in Distressed Bronze. Slim is the operative word: the footprint is narrow enough to slide in beside a chair arm where a wider table would not fit, which is what makes it useful in a tightly arranged seating group.

A narrow table has a stability problem that a broad one does not, and aluminum solves it awkwardly, since the metal is light. What holds a slim aluminum table upright is the shape of its base rather than its weight, so the base is wider than the top and carries the load out to the corners. That also means it is the outdoor table most likely to move in strong wind, and it should be brought in or tucked against a wall when weather is expected.

It sits between two chairs, at the arm of a lounge chair, or wherever a drink needs setting down and there is no room for a proper side table.
