I been thinking about getting an outdoor mid size table for prepping food as well as placing items that will be used using my cooks. I been reviewing the following. Both have their strength and weakness. Let me know your thoughts or other suggestions. Must be able to withstand the outside elements. Trying to keep a budget of 200-300.

I would lean toward the cheaper one, mainly for the stainless steel top. Much easier to clean than whatever the other one has. And, as you said, you aren't sure if the cooler cart would be suitable for hot items. That kills it for me since there will be hot items - frequently, I assume.
 
I bought one of these from Walmart for $100 and really like it. It has a few hooks, a stand for my phone when I am looking at recipes or something, a little tray, a paper towel holder and a trash bag holder. I got a cover on Amazon so that I can keep it covered when not in use.

I was in need of somewhere to store all of my accumulated bbq accessories and normal bbq carts are more expensive than I wanted to pay. So I took a few ideas I have seen on the internet and here is what I came up with. I also had a custom sized cutting board made for the top, I think it adds a...

The only gripe I have is it should have wheels at all four corners. But not a big deal.

SWMBO was shopping for a stainless cart for the Ooni Pizza oven to sit on, but supply chain issues killed that. She then thought of using an outdoor griddle as a cart when not using the griddle. You could make a wooden top for it and it use it as a cart, but then have the extra benefit as a griddle. I love it.

I use the Ooni medium table and just put my Ooni down underneath when not in use. Amazon has a nice cover that fits over it all too.

How sturdy is it?

I saw this at Costco today and it's $100 bucks. I picked it up and see if I should stick with it or keep marching to number 1.

I bought that one and it is pretty sturdy but don't let anyone sit on the top. Pretty thin SS top that I plan on beefing up before someone overloads it and bends it.

I bought the less expensive Keter last year, It works well and is reasonable quality for the $. I don't move it around much and did buy a cover on Amazon for it. IMO, a good value.

The benefit of the one with the cooler is that you can use it to rest your brisket etc.
