Sturdy, portable, easy to carry around. This is a nice table and well made.

The bag it comes with is a little too big but that's better than being too small. The parts all fit easily into the bag for portability.

It takes some effort to piece the table together - more than should really be necessary. Seems like they could re-design this to be easier to put up. The unfolding process is fairly smooth, but the table legs don't immediately spread out to their full position without some effort. There are four parts which you need to get out and piece together, which is too many. There should really only be two - the top and the legs. Not sure why they designed it to have the two individual bars that you need to lock onto the base. Takes extra effort and concentration to ensure they are turned the right direction and perfectly in place before it will "lock" into position.

It could be easily fixed with better design.

Plus, the plastic parts which hold the top in place seem like they won't last forever, so I dread the day when they give out - as that will likely render the table unusable.

Overall, satisfied and we've been using it. It's a great table that could be ideal with design changes.

I've had one of these tables for many, many years -- well over a decade -- and for the past 7 or so we've left it set up full time, outside on the patio, for kids projects and just as a convenience. I've got to tell you, it's awesome! Granted, ours has been covered under a wood slat porch above, so it never got direct rain or mid-day sun (and we're in a fairly mild climate), but it was exposed to the elements nonetheless.

Well, granddaddy finally tumbled in to it an mangled the plastic brackets that slide up and down the legs, so we recycled the old table (which was otherwise still in great shape), and purchased a replacement.

My only critique? The storage bag is slightly smaller and slightly lesser quality fabric (with a huge Coleman lable sewn to the outside just ready to tear off). Oh, and there's a giant raised "Coleman" logo embossed into one of the table panels, so it's no longer a perfectly flat surface.

However, neither of those are huge negatives (we saved our old storage bag), and actually, the assembly has been every so slightly improved to give us what might possibly be a little extra durability at the expense of a few ounces of weight (yes, this model is heaver than our previous one).

This has been very convenient for car camping, does fine supporting 2-burner stoves and 3 gallon water jugs, and had stood up to kid abuse just fine looking none the worse for wear.

I think I'd even give it five stars if they could have not put the raised logo in the slat.

I purchased this table for future outdoor events - not camping. The photo shows what I call dress rehearsal and so far so good. I didn't read instructions and assembled in less than two minutes. I thought it would be way too small but you can comfortably set a table for two (albeit my setting is incomplete), but you also have room if you have a serving tray/rack. I am pleased. It's slightly heavier than I thought but not uncomfortable to carry. It feels the same as carrying one of the standard chairs in a bag. It does scratch easy, already, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Little bugger.

We bought this table specifically for Diner en Blanc as an upgrade for the crappy vinyl-topped Wal Mart card table we bought second year and a necessary alternative to the 50 pound party supply rental we had first year (NEVER again). We've managed to get our DEB kit down to a small cooler, small crate with decor, and this table, all in a 19"x21" white shopping trolleyWhitmor Rolling Utility / Shopping Cart, with our chairs bungeed to the front. We look like total pros.

*Update 11 months later: We've taken it to the beach a few times, used it on our deck as a serving table, and used it camping as a food prep station. It is durable, super easy to clean, and stands up to use under a camp stove. Minus half a star because the consequence of being lightweight is that it's a bit flimsy; minus another half a star because it's impossible for adults to sit at the table without hitting the crossbars. However, the crossbars provide the only stability, and the thing is lighter than my handbag, so it's a worthwhile tradeoff.

I have the wooden top version of this. It got too close to the fire and melted on of the hinges so I was looking for another one and found this. I've had this version of the table for a couple of camping trips now, and I've used it. Although different, it is just as sturdy as the former version and the metal versus wood top doesn't stain and wipes clean easily. This one is also much lighter than the previous version.

Since it is much lighter than my old table, I decided to test the strength of it. I pulled the table out of the trailer and set it up on a level surface. (aka: Garage) I placed 4 - 25 pound plates on the table, one at a time to each corner, observing for bow in the legs and stress to the joints after each application. I observed no bow to the legs at any time. The joints held nicely and did not crack under pressure. After the fourth plate was placed, I pushed the table slightly from side to side. The table remained upright and in tact, and did not seem to want to collapse. This seems to be due to the fact that when set up properly, the legs are not 100% vertical, but point outward slightly adding stability.

This test was extreme, especially since we use it to play cards on, and as a table for food when preparing meals on the trailers external bbq or on the fire. However, now I can definitely guarantee that it will safely hold 100 lbs evenly distributed. I'll feel safe if I have my water jug on it or even my kids extensive rock collection that inevitably happens while camping, and am without fear of it collapsing and causing severe injury to anyone.
