We just remodeled our pergola and added a large bar, sink, and your Ice Chest ... like the Ice Chest. Lined to keep ice cold on warm days, with a drain to eliminate mess of cleaning up after the party. One thing I would change is the lid. Too light weight and flimsy. Also, very noise when opening. Wish it had some built-in insulation which would keep ice cold and improve the function and feel of the cover. Suggest the manufacturer put some thought into this top/door and you have a winner!
