I don't think you're supposed to be focusing on the chair

Is it strong/stable enough to hold all the bugs?

I like the cupholders.

I wonder if the try just sits on the garbage can or attaches some other way. I wonder what the likelihood of it flipping due to unbalance or a light garbage can that can cause it to flip/ tip over...

Interesting idea...maybe some folding legs on the corners for stability.

Flies could be a major problem with that but I like the idea

That's what I thought. Looks like 8 lbs in one of the corners could = bugs on da floor.

I would think that you would use a new trash bag when you start, so all that is in there is crawfish. Then it smells like crawfish anyway so you wouldn't notice it.

This was my first thought as well.

Its an interesting idea but I'm not convinced yet.

ETA: whoa, especially with that price tag

This has been around for years. Friend has one for at least 3-4 years. I would suggest a hard top instead of the dips. They are great though, my friend's has the LSU football field on the top. I'll try to send a picture if I can find one.

Neat idea, but I think I'd rather spend the $89 on more crawfish and use the traditional newspaper-over-plastic table, even if it means I have to sweep piles of shells into the garbage can at the end (which is not that big a deal, IMO).

I'm assuming you're supposed to toss the shells into the center as you're eating, so there's not a pile of trash left on the table at the end? Even if you hosed it off when you're done, it still seems like kind of a pain in the arse to clean, as the sides would make it difficult to scrape all the tiny claws and other remnants up. I'd almost rather it have a flat edge in the center to scoot the trash, but then you risk losing good crawfish into the trashcan.

Also wondering how hard it would be to pour the crawfish from a pot into the four corners?

ETA: Sorry, didn't mean to be so negative, just throwing out some thoughts for possible design flaws. Maybe you could improve it!
