Description
This garden table is built entirely from bamboo, and its shape is what sets it apart: two A-frame ends rise well above the top and carry a long crossbar, so the piece stands 178cm tall as well as 178cm long. The top is made of slim bamboo canes laid side by side, diagonal braces run beneath it to the frame, and each end has ladder-style rungs. It is 100% bamboo in a natural colour, with every knuckle of the cane left on show, and it weighs 19.5KG, which is worth knowing if you plan to move it between spots in the garden.
Its home is outdoors: a patio, a terrace, a gravel courtyard or a sunny spot against the wall of a house or shed. At 178cm long it gives a generous surface for a run of potted plants, seed trays and garden tools, so it works as a potting bench as much as a display table. The crossbar is the clever part. Hanging planters can hang from it, or a string of festoon lights can drape along its length for summer evenings, giving a quiet part of the garden a framework of its own. It suits anyone who gardens in pots, or who wants something with height at the end of a lawn.
It needs assembling, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. Bamboo is a natural material that reacts to its surroundings: the maker notes that if it is exposed to moisture, bamboo will absorb dust and dirt and its colour will change in time. To look after it, clean it with a moist cloth and rub in a tested furniture oil. For styling, keep the look relaxed: stand a woven basket beneath the top, hang a pair of planters from the crossbar and let trailing greenery soften the frame.
