Make room for drinks on a picnic table
Find a reachable spot that stays clear of serving dishes, board seams, table edges and people climbing onto the bench.
Give every drink its own place
Place the drink beside its owner’s plate rather than directly in the shared serving area. Leave room to lift it without passing an arm over somebody else’s meal. A full table may need fewer objects, not a smaller gap squeezed beside the edge.
Check the full footprint
Steadi needs 5.2 inches of continuous support. On a slatted table, inspect gaps, raised edges and uneven boards. The flexible base is not a bridge across missing support. Choose a suitable part of the table or another stable surface.
Keep cloth and furniture still
Smooth the tablecloth underneath the whole base. Move drinks before pulling fabric, opening a folding table or changing the arrangement. A tablecloth clamp holds fabric; it does not secure a drink.
Do not mistake it for a sealed coaster
Steadi is a freestanding stabilizer, not a waterproof barrier. Wipe condensation and spills from the surface as appropriate. Use separate surface protection if your table requires it, while maintaining full stable support.
Check drinkware before packing
Measure across the bottom of each cup or bottle: 2–3.15 inches inclusive. Capacity and rim width are not base diameter. Check low handles, boots and full seating; a stemmed glass needs a solution designed for its shape.
