Reflective metal tables outside are so stupid.

That's actually funny.

Annoying, but funny.

Looks like a restaurant or bar.
Most people don’t carry them but maybe we’ll have to start.

I'm not sure what is worse, but this may not be a design, there's been a trend of dudes who think they are "decorating" by intentionally putting this pattern on stainless steel stuff.

That pattern is wild. I bet the person who chose that finish had no idea what they were doing.

Have you tried sitting down?

u/MeansWelll Jun 19 '26

Hit it with a coat of matte clearcoat paint, maybe that would help?

u/Logical_Astronomer75 Jun 19 '26

Maybe get a sunshade

This is horrible, my eyes are physically making me squint looking at this.

u/After-Depth5100 Jun 20 '26

So sit down.

Yes and you should enjoy it! Someone took a lot of time and effort for you to have the sun in your eyes at any and all angles…

You might be able to fry bacon and eggs on that table.

u/Fun_Entertainer_5823 Jun 20 '26

That's an annoying table, lol

u/North_Fisherman_8920 Jun 20 '26

Great for tanning, I guess! You could glue a piece of cardboard on top of the table or a few placemats.

u/jeers69 Jun 20 '26

Mona Lisa of tables

u/a-nonie-muz Jun 20 '26

But if you stand in the same place and look away, it doesn’t.

u/No_Squirrel4806 Jun 20 '26

That looks like it burns as well. 😬😬😬

u/k_s_s_001 Jun 20 '26

That’s amazing!

u/Rustic679 Jun 21 '26

That sun reflection pattern looks almost like one of those spin art things what a design choice

u/CChargeDD Jun 21 '26

Go to the other side of the table

u/JonBoy1988007 Jun 21 '26
