I love Weber and expect better from them.
I'm a huge fan of Weber so much so that I'm embarrassed to admit how many of their products I've bought over the years. I've been watching this table ever since it first appeared on Amazon and kept waiting for a review. I finally bought it because I was so excited I couldn't take it anymore and thought it would be perfect for use with my smokey joe. Unfortunately, it's on it's way back to Amazon.
First off, the good.
1) It is flat and light.
2) It has tool hooks.
3) The lock will keep the grill for falling off the table (more on that in a minute)
Now the bad.
1) This is a very cheaply made item. If you were thinking this was heavy duty because it has that stainless steal look, don't be fooled. It's made out of cheap thin painted metal and plastic.
2) It wobbles like crazy. If you are someone who is bothered by the light weight kettle legs (I'm not), this is gonna drive you crazy because it's a lot worse.
3) The legs are...
I Like My Weber Stand
I don't quite agree with JustinW's review that this stand is worthless! Weber probably designed this light weight table with weight in mind! If your going to carry one of these for some distance, say 20 lbs or more, it is not going to be fun to carry. I have used both the Little & Big Smokey Joe's and they fit and lock quite nicely into the provided slots. My stand has some wobble, but it does not wobble like crazy and I grill just fine with it.This unit is better then sitting on the ground grilling or plopping my grills down on my B&D workmate and hope it does not slide off while brushing the grill or tonging some steaks. The legs on mine slide firmly into the holes for storage or carrying, with no problem removing them for setup. In my opinion this stand will work quite well for any backyard griller and its not going to fall apart from use and reasonable care. The stand has a nice space off to one side for your plate or utensils or a cold long neck or two plus hangers on the side...
Favorite new gadget in the camper
My husband loves cooking on his Weber and I just got him a new 18 inch Smokey Joe for fathers day to take camping. We needed something to put it on so I ordered this table. It goes together easy and brings the grill up to the perfect height. We love that the legs stow easily and the locking mechanism is fantastic. The side hooks are a nice touch to hold his tools, lighter, grill mitt etc, A nice product for the money.
