Patio Tables: Stone Age Dining

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

Whether they're used inside or out, these hand-painted tables can take the heat (and cold). Made of heavy volcanic stone, each table is built in Deruta, Italy and is naturally resistant to heat and cold (to minus 30 degrees). Salt and atmospheric agents (such as acid rain) won't harm it either.

The top sits on a wrought iron base. Choose from several patterns or design your own.

Rommon Rosso Volcanic Stone Table is $2,586, including base (April 2006).

Dimensions: 43" round (with wrought iron base).
