By eb from New York, NY on 07/24/2008 Best Uses: Beach, Campgrounds, Outdoor Events Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Nice table, unique set up. Most folding tables are unstable and bulky, this one is very sturdy when assembled. I agree with another reviewer on the sharpness of some of the edges, you do have to be careful when assembling and when you put it back into the bag, or it will cut. It is light weight, which is good, but I am a bit concerned about what will happen when the top pieces bend a bit, it may not assemble properly. It could be a little stronger, but then it wouldn't be as light. Overall a great table that will be used for camping - and probably on my deck during parties.
By Bret Frk from Asheville, NC on 07/23/2008 Pros: Compact, Easy Set Up Best Uses: Beach, Campgrounds, Day Trips, Outdoor Events, Road Trips, Winter Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great table - actually own three. It is very stable and durable, fairly lightweight and easily packs away when not in use. We have it for use at our base camp - and love it. We have left it outside for a good deal of time and it holds up well. Much better than the vinyl type tables. We even use stoves on top to cook (with a little bit of protection). Just be carefull of the clips/tabs that connect the top to the legs - they can come loose, but being careful when setting up will help that problem.
Highly Recommended!

I wouldn't carry it long distances because it will become heavy, but you could get the smaller one. Very nice design, and great price right now. It will be well used.
By flyfishexpert from pocatello, id on 07/14/2008 Pros: Easy Set Up, Lightweight Cons: 55" is too long to pack Best Uses: Beach, Campgrounds, Day Trips, Outdoor Events, Winter Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This table is very sturdy. We had our stove, cooler, and 7gal water jug on it with out any problems. My only problem with this table was it's length when packed away. 55" in length is too long, and it made it difficult to try and pack in the back of our 4Runner with the rest of our gear for our trip. I have decided to purchase the one smaller than this as it folds down to 43" in length. Images shared by: flyfishexpertTags: Picture of Product, Using Product
Great portable camp table By SteelieRan from Northern California on 07/10/2008 Pros: Compact, Easy Set Up, Lightweight Best Uses: Beach, Campgrounds, Day Trips, Outdoor Events, Road Trips, Undeveloped campsites Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great table for semi-remote camping. Sturdy construction and ease of use make this table a star when you need a table to cook or dine on in a undeveloped campground. It is very long when stashed so it does take up a bit of room when transporting.
Lightweight utility table By Geneman from Maryland on 06/12/2008 Pros: Compact, Easy Set Up, Lightweight Best Uses: Campgrounds, Outdoor Events, Winter Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: You can set-up this table in under a minute after practice or use. The large surface area is ideal for serving a meal for six (adults) and can be used for handy storage of numerous items. Very sturdy and strong!
Great for the back yard or car camping By Andrea N. from Harriman, NY on 06/09/2008 Pros: Dual use, Easy Set Up, Sturdy Cons: Awkward to carry, Heavy Best Uses: Beach, Campgrounds, Day Trips, Outdoor Events, Road Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Set up very easy the first time, even without the instructions, but gouged me really good when I put it back in the case the first time. The hinges are really sharp and it only folds the length of the table so it's best to lay the case on the ground and ease the table support in or out - at least when you're short.
It's very sturdy so good for a lot of uses. I used it to set up displays for a street festival and it worked great.
However, since I'm only a petite 5'4" and have a compact car, the fact that it stores long and narrow and isn't very light makes it really difficult to carry by the shoulder strap (and I have the bruises to prove it); and it had to be put in at an angle from the floor across the seats in the back of my compact, 4 seat, 2 door car because that's the only way it would fit. Which meant only one passenger. So; unless you're a really tall person with only one person, or no one, to take with you or you have a bigger car; it's best used when you don't have to carry it too far from the car, and if you can carry it with two hands by itself.
Bigger than I thought and easier set up By Doc Iowa from Scottsdale, AZ on 05/31/2008 Cons: Stores well but Long Best Uses: car camping/trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
By doubledex from wichita, ks on 05/28/2008 Pros: Compact, Dual use, Easy Set Up, Lightweight Best Uses: Beach, Campgrounds, Day Trips, Outdoor Events, Party, Road Trips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: We bought this table to use outdoors on the patio and to take camping. We just used it indoors at a party as an extra table, and it was perfect--stable, sturdy, and just the right size, and so easy to set up and put away. I was so impressed with the table that I went back and ordered the smaller size as well. Highly recommended!
By Hal 9000 from Carbondale, Colorado on 05/28/2008 Pros: Nice looking and sturdy Best Uses: Campgrounds, Car Camping, Day Trips, Road Trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The Alps table seems well made, sturdy and creatively engineered, but there are about 15 parts to assemble. It is not a fold up and go type. There are 8 small plastic clips that attach the top of the table to the frame, these clips are not fixed to the table and could easily fall or slide out and get lost, rendering the whole thing useless if more than one or two are gone. I will probably have to resort to duct tape or something to hold the clips in place when it is apart. After a few trips to the desert we'll see how it holds up and amend the report.
