Table or Nest

Hello,

I was wondering for those who have had both a table or a nest with their eggs, if they felt the table was worth the additional investment?

Regarding the table, did you think it was constructed well? Do you think the caster wheels were useful?

Thanks for your thoughts.

    I'm definitely a table man. I love having space to set things and the nest would never work for me. I bought a table made by my local BGE dealer. It was for my large, was only $200, and has been great for over two years now. To each his own, but I wouldn't even think of having an Egg without a table. It's just what I am comfortable with.

    I bought the nest, but plan to build a table. You HAVE to have a place to put "stuff" and a nest doesn't give you that. Personally, I find the tables (or built-ins, as in an outdoor kitchen) MUCH more attractive and useful than a nest, even if you also have Mates. My egg with nest sits next to my patio dining table so I do have a place to put things, but obviously, that's not an ideal arrangement. A table is definitely on the drawing board.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I would purchase the nest with the eggmates instead of the table. I do have one of my larges that has a table and it's made very well but in my opinion it's not worth the extra money.

    We have 2 large eggs, one in the nest, one in a table that my husband made. I don't know, I think it's personal preference. Mine is the one in the table but I haven't really used the table space as much as I thought I would.

    I have a nest and eggmates. Beside the nest I have 2 large tables. This works very well and in fact I roll my egg and nest back in the garage and keep the tables outside. The only thing I think would be better (look better not necessarily function better) is an outdoor kitchen which I hope to do when I finally get time.
