From the blogger: "We realized one day that we had three metal umbrella stands and one lone patio umbrella. Not too sure how we found ourselves the owners of so many umbrella bases! It was time to either call in for a donation pickup, or get creative. We went down the crafty route! Using a rusted metal stand and some galvanized pipe sections, we created a simple table base and topped it with a fun striped wooden table top. It's now the perfect side table to place a cold glass of summertime lemonade!"
