Metal Table Legs Add to a Labor Day Party Cooler Table



Finding affordable and convenient ways to spice up Labor Day parties isn't always easy. Many of the most eye-catching and useful entertaining supplies and props that you can buy have a tendency to cost a fortune and be nigh impossible to find a reasonable substitute for.

The recent DIY movement has put an end to all of that; from lighting to seating, cheap and manageable innovations are taking the world by storm. One of the most creative ideas that we've come across at Legs and Bases is the patio table with a built-in drink cooler compartment. These can make a perfect Labor Day DIY project, though you should give yourself a few days to complete it before the big weekend. Metal table bases can be used for such a table, giving it both a contemporary look, and the support it needs to withstand the rigors of partying.



Originally conceived, designed and built by Sarah Bowes-Pope and Alex Pope (as detailed on their blog), the design can be adapted in several styles and used throughout the warmer months for many events. In fact, the coolers in the design are convertible and can be covered up to form a completely solid table with some extra space.

Guests will be awed at the utility of this table, with sunken compartments to hold beer, wines, soft drinks, water and more. Ice can just be dropped in, drinks added and the hosts and guests spared from running back and forth to the kitchen.

Lumber for the top and modern or traditional metal table legs are all that’s needed to create the perfect hosting table for your Labor Day event. With solid materials and construction, this table will hold up to the outdoor elements and provide you with a thoroughly utilitarian, yet stylish, piece that will serve you well for years to come.

How to Give Your Patio Furniture a Makeover

One of the biggest misconceptions about patio furniture is that when a piece of it becomes worn or damaged, the whole thing has to be tossed out and replaced. Likewise, when an owner of a set grows weary of a look, it is commonly believed that the only solution is to buy an entire new set and toss out the old. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. The reality is that it is very possible to revive patio furniture by giving it a bit of a makeover. One of the best and most economical ways of doing that is by acquiring iron table legs to replace the legs of the patio table.

Whether the legs from the original table set are weather-worn or have been damaged over time, a new set of iron table legs will make the patio table look brand new. There really is no need to buy a full set of patio furniture if the only problems are chipped, cracked, or broken table legs.

A makeover of a patio table via a new set of iron table legs is also a great opportunity to update an old, out-of-date style table into a modern contemporary look. An amazing set of legs will give any table a fresh new appearance that changes the overall complexion of the entire set.

There are several types of iron table legs to choose from, depending on the specific need of the table. For example, there is a basic bolt down base, one simple yet stylish stainless steel piece which is ideal for windy locales. There is also a high quality leg with a chrome-plated leveler that is perfect for almost any setting, be it the office, a dining area, or the outside patio.

Replacing weathered and scratched legs with stainless steel legs is the optimal way to makeover a patio set without wasting a perfectly good and still usable tabletop and chairs. The new legs provide a sleek appearance that brings the table into the current era of furniture fashion. It is a cost efficient way to revitalize any patio set.
