Lazy Bench
Relaxing usually goes hand in hand with a little refreshment, and this backyard bench was designed specifically with that in mind.
Instead of requiring side tables on which to rest your drink, this piece of furniture includes a pull-down drink tray complete with two cup holders.
When not in use, simply place the tray vertically and you have room for a third companion...human or canine.
