I bought one of these and very happy to have something to set things on at first. This unit is great if you are grilling, but if you are trying to control air flow for low and slow bbq this table frame hangs over the egde of the kettle and will keep the lid from sealing well. I find that I just don't use it as much as I used to.

This is a very nice hard wood work table. However, the way it mounts is quite unstable, it can move left or right if not careful. It also creates a less than airtight fit when the cover is placed on the grill.
Overall, I would probably not recommend this product unless you don't mind those 2 issues.Weber 1800 Kettle Work Table

The work table is plain wood, not sealed. There is a warning on the bottom not to let it stay wet. Since a charcoal grill must be used outside, I don't think the price justifies the limitations.

I purchased this item this summer. Since other reviewers warned about the table falling apart and suggested sealing the wood, I coated it immediately with 3 coats of polyurathane. The table fell apart anyway. I would not waste money on this product. It is poorly designed and lacking in the quality I expected from Weber.

i've come to expect a level of durability from my weber, this product was more than a little disappointing. attachment to the grill is easy and it seems to be sturdy enough. however, the wood work surface, while nicely finished and fitting is not sealed for use outside. this means that you need to bring this inside and you cannot leave it attached to the grill.

ordinarily not a big deal, but if you happen to forget to bring the work surface inside and it happens to rain, you're left w/a useless and broken worksurface. i would happily settle for some sort of composite work surface or a nicely sealed piece of wood as opposed to the raw wood product i received.

i'm out the cash and i'm looking to replace the work surface with a nice piece of plywood which i seal with some sort of food-safe sealant.

This item should be dropped from the Weber product line. It is unsealed and has many glue joints for such a small item. I sealed it with a wood sealer so that it could be wiped off with a wet cloth. After just a few months the glue joints opened up and the item became unusable.

its made nice but the frame is kind of wobbly and its kinda in the way when takeing the lid off and on

We love the quality of the wood table; wish the stability of the leg system was a bit better and that it fit under the grill cover. A bit of a pain to unfold/unhook it prior to replacing the cover each time. It is really nice to have a place to set meat/platter/utensils though!

Its nice to have a little table attachment for the grill that you can set a plate of food on or your cooking utensils. This one should have been made of plastic or sealed wood because, as other people have said, it will fall apart. I'll have to replace mine with a plastic cutting board as I neglected to waterproof it.

My main gripe is that you can't put the cover on the grill when the table is attached, the cover fits tightly and there's no room in it for the table. You have to remove the table/bracket and stash it somewhere, which is a hassle. If you don't have a cover on the grill when it rains the ashes will get wet at the bottom and form a goopy sludge.

Do not buy this planning to leave it outside on your grill! There were warnings with this product saying that it shouldn't be left outside, but I figured it couldn't be that bad. A couple months later, I discovered that my cutting board (left on a covered porch through a mild California winter) had completely split into several pieces. For a $30 outdoor product, this is really unacceptable. A plastic or metal cutting board would have worked much better.
