Report
I had a GREAT experience with the Southern Specialties Outdoor Living Products division. I recently took delivery of a 52" table (Tuxedo Black, left hand configuration) for my large Big Green Egg and it is a HUGE upgrade from the wood table it replaced. The quality is immediately noticeable, from the powder coat finish (which has a very nice, almost wrinkle-coat feel), to the casters and soft-close drawer. The storage is very well thought out and houses the various grill accessories (plate setter, grill grates, pizza stone, charcoal bags, etc.) perfectly. You will not be be disappointed!
