Pedestal tables have a very specific advantage: legroom. The MyTCoat Honeycomb Steel Single Post Octagon Table capitalizes on that with floating seats. The central connection point of the seats to the post allows for easy exit and entrance while artificially creating two seats per bench. As each bench lines up with the start of the cut-off corner, a small bubble of space is created between the people on either side to permit them the wiggle room to simply enter or exit from the seats. Nobody likes to deal with scraping against a harsh corner of a tabletop and the octagon design also helps reduce the odds of accidental injury should somebody trip into the table. Each of these small boundaries ensures that the occupants have space for themselves at the table. If you're feeling the heat or the rain has got you down, the convenient central port in the middle of the tabletop lets you easily and quickly attach a compatible umbrella to hang over your recreation area.
