features

fold down legs

storage area for sauces

easy access to barbecuing utensils

storage for plates and cutlery

shapes

mainly rounded edges but some may be pointy but not dangerous

environment

will not harm the surrounding environment and will not leave a permanent mark

materials

wood

looks good but isn't as weatherproof

acrylic

clear acrylic is the only one with mildly the right look for this project, although its looks art perfect it is easy to wipe down in a potential food preparation area

metal

to finish edges and to add to aesthetic

non toxic

not easily stained

colour

my client isn't to worried about colour but doesn't want it to be flashy or in any way bright coloured

maybe a light wood colour as a main colour and that can be finished with metal and clear acrylic
