It has been a weird winter (or lack thereof) in many parts of the country. Spring is almost here — early, it seems! — and so we already have plans for this entertaining station that could start a party even in a small space!

Although this item doesn't come with a tutorial to make your own (and was once for sale here), it would be an easy project to reconstruct. A single board, pre-cut by the handy folks at your big box hardware store. Add a piece of chain and some eye hooks to hold it in place and you're all set.

It's a great reminder that you don't have to have a giant outdoor table or patio set up to entertain. Low knee height tables aren't ideal for pouring drinks, so we love this fold down option that keeps things at a friendly height and fold up out of the way when not in use.

Spring is almost here, have you started thinking about your outdoor entertaining area? What do you need to track down to finish things off? Let us know below!
