This Space-Saving ‘Balcony Table' Solves the Biggest Small Backyard Problem – And Might Just Replace Your Bistro Set

Outdoor fold down table mounted to the wall of a breezy backyard patio overlooking the ocean.

When your ‘backyard’ is actually just a balcony, outdoor entertaining becomes a bit of a spatial negotiation. By the time everyone – which could very well be two people – has a plate in hand, where does your drink go? The lack of surfaces is obvious, but adding another table isn’t exactly, well… on the table.

Or so I thought, until I came across a truly genius, aptly named ‘balcony table’ that delivers all the surface area of an extra table without assuming any inch of square footage. It affixes directly to your railing (fire escape included, if you live in New York like I do) with slide-on brackets or screws for a more permanent backyard setup. This is outdoor furniture that even your small balcony can handle.
