Default Ideas for cheap bar height table and stools?

I'm looking for a CHEAP out of box way to make some

Table needs to be at least 36" tall and taller is
better.... say 40"


What size/shape top? Do you want a round top, or long bar that has a
serving and an "order" side?

Concrete tube forms (Is "sonotube" a generic or brand name?)
Could work. We've used them in theatre for very large columns.
You could weight the bottom with sandbags (inside the tube) if you
don't want these for long term or extra rough use.

Use Plywood for the base and top... screwed to blocking on the inside
of the tube.

of course, your "out of the box" phrase isn't exactly clear.
Spray painting fiber drums isn't "out of the box" to me.

See if you can find some discarded cable spools.
We've used a large spool for a porch table for several years now.
Covered with a tablecloth, it looks fine... but i don't think it meets
the 40" requirement.

in any case, good luck.
