The Prima Mix - Cast Iron, City Greenhouses, and One Incredible Dessert
Insight
I think that a cast iron skillet is one of the best pieces of cooking equipment to have in your home or restaurant. As long as you take care of them, they last, well, a really long time. And they’re just plain fun to cook with. My wife gave me a grill with cast iron plates and I am really enjoying its versatility and durability. There are two main lines of thought about how to care for them, and if you ever plan on getting an Iron Panini Grill you’ll definitely want to check this out: Cast Iron: The only pan you’ll ever need.
Also, check out some great Cast Iron recipes if you are looking for ideas or unsure about what you would actually do with one except ward off home intruders.
Food for Thought
Perhaps a little known fact: Cast Iron was used in some of the first skyscrapers for its incredible resiliency (Thanks to Britannica for this info).

Check out "A Pop-Up Greenhouse Could Bring Farm-Fresh Food To Food Deserts" from Fast Company. This idea could aid in bringing farm fresh food to low income families, and make it more reasonable for restaurants to offer an increasing variety of farm quality, local foods.

It wobbles, no matter what I do.
Ordered this table last week for home use and it arrived promptly via UPS. Setup was a breeze after watching the tutorial video and I discovered a trick to setting up the bottom shelf on your own; with the table upside down, place a box on the underside of the tabletop and then slide the bottom shelf onto the legs so it lies flat against the box. This will level the bottom shelf and hold it in place so you can tighten the fasteners on each leg.
The table itself is moderately sturdy and the 16 gauge steel thick enough to take some abuse. The table is a bit wobbly since there is no back brace and the legs are not welded but this can be remedied by placing the table in a corner. I arranged my table in the middle of my kitchen with the side flush against the wall and the corner resting snugly where my window frame meets it.
Very fast shipment and the table came well packaged, but unfortunately UPS mishandled it a bit so there are minor dents on the sides. However, this does not detract from the rating since it is not Prima's fault. I would suggest, however, that freight shipment be an option for all products if this is possible. I would be willing to pay more if I knew it would protect my investment.
Sturdy, easy to install. 36" length only allows for attachment to one stud. Get yourself (3) 3/16 x 2" toggle bolts. Fast shipping, great price, will shop here again.
