    Thanks! I wasn’t looking for ideas other than planters and you have enlightened my inner creativity.

    That concrete slab table could kill a small child trying to climb up to it so it better be well balanced so that it cannot possibly tip over.  That slab appears to be very heavy and precariously balanced.

    I can’t even imagine how a child would be able to tip over a concrete slab that weighs probably several hundred pounds.
