Balcony Table Means Apartment Dwellers Can Dine Outdoors too
One of the realities of having an apartment or a condo in the city is that your (often tiny) balcony probably is it for outdoor living space. It can be challenging to find a table and chair set that is compact enough to allow you to eat or work outside or even just enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning.
If you're tight on space, a balcony table that hangs from the railing could help. There's no need for cumbersome table legs, and this one folds down so it isn't taking up room when it's not in use.
The balcony table doesn't require any tools for installation. Just hook it onto the railing (up to 7" wide) and tighten down the bolts. It looks like a pretty easy way to get some practical eat/work space in a small outdoor living area.

Now, I'm an animal lover, so you wouldn't catch me with furniture made from zebra hides (or any other types of hides), but if you want something exotic from a distant land (and don't mind the animal issue), then here's a unique dining room table.
Volcanic lava just doesn't get incorporated into the home and garden scene often enough, does it?
If you're looking for a versatile coffee table that provides storage and can easily be moved out of the way when company is over (hey, you never know when you're going to need a dance floor in the middle of the living room), then take a peek at Tim Wigmore's Spin Coffee Table.
I've been looking for a new couch for my living room for quite some time, and my web surfing has taken me to many interesting furniture destinations. I recently stumbled upon my first car sofa though. It's not really my style, but if you need a gift (a rather large gift) for someone who loves vintage cars, this could be fun.
