Picnic Blanket Table
Elevate your picnic!!! No more split glasses or bottles of wine, and keep those pesky ants off that cheese plate! Constructed of reclaimed oak fence boards each table is unique. And, finished with food safe beeswax, the table can be used directly as a serving platter or simply a table to hold your plates. The unique design keeps your bottle, stem glasses, and/or plastic cups upright whether the ground is even or not. Approximately 12” X 20” X 4” the Picnic Blanket Table folds down to only 1 ¼” thick, making it an easy-to-pack solution.
