Avora Chill Table

In everyday use

The whole top is the basin — 40.6 inches of it, three inches deep, with a lip all the way round. That's enough for bottles, cans and the ice to bury them in, laid out where people can see what they're reaching for. When the ice melts you pull the plug and the telescoping hose sends the water into a bucket rather than over your feet. Underneath, a wire shelf holds the spares and the things you haven't opened yet. Afterwards the legs fold flat and it goes away as a 4.8 inch tray with a handle on the back.

What sets it apart

The whole table is the ice bin
A single moulded basin, 40.6" × 22" and 3" deep, rather than a small tub set into a big surface.

Drains without lifting anything
A plugged drainage hole in the basin floor and a telescoping hose you point wherever you want the meltwater to go.

Shelf for the ones still in the box
33.3" × 9.3" of wire shelf underneath, rated to 11 lbs.

Folds to 4.8 inches
The legs fold under the top and it carries by a handle on the underside — flat enough to store upright in a garage.

HDPE top, powder-coated legs
A high-density HDPE basin that wipes out, on powder-coated steel legs.

110 lbs on the top
Enough for a full load of ice and drinks with room over.

Why we chose it

Coolers are a compromise everybody has quietly agreed to live with: they sit on the ground, they're dark inside, and someone has to crouch and rummage. This turns the whole thing the right way up. Everything is visible, everything is at waist height, and the melt has somewhere to go that isn't the lawn. It's the piece that makes an afternoon feel organised without anyone doing any organising — and in tan, on those slim grey legs, it looks like furniture rather than equipment, which matters when it's out for six hours.
