ALPS Mountaineering Camp Table

Just received the table a week or so ago, have used it twice already. Sturdy design, and it is pretty compact when it is collapsed. Great buy.

Easy set up table. Nicely compact and easy to carry. We use it every camping trip. Great outdoor table. Would definitely purchase again.

A welcome addition to gear for many occassions either to supplement site amenities or use in their absence.

I bought this table from Sierra Trading Post for a very good price. I have a small A-Frame camping trailer and I use this table as a primary table when camping at rustic sites and as a secondary table when a picnic table is provided. This table has performed very well under near constant use. I am full time RVing for a couple years to see our National Parks so this table does not sit idle for long. It is EXACTLY what it claims to be, a lightweight, folding table. If you expect it to flip open with a heavy jerk and hold your weight, you bought the wrong table. I put a little WD-40 on the legs so the plastic, sliding ring does not stick and the table opens like a charm. If you leave it up when you leave camp put something heavy (a rock?) on it so it does not blow away. This table is fairly easy to set up once you have done it once. It may appear complicated but the way it fits together makes it It is too heavy for backpacking and, probably, too light for a rock 'em /sock 'em tailgate party. Other than that, this table is great. I have friends who bought two different camp tables and one broke on the first use and the other is wobbly. If you are patient (i.e. not forceful) with this table, it will give you years of service. I am back to this website to buy another one of these tables. Someone must have loved it. They stole it from my campsite as I slept.

The plastic button/snap/clasps that hold the slatted tabletop to the frame break easily, can fall out and get lost and are hard to adjust the positioning correctly. Luckily, Alps Mountaineering is very responsive about providing replacement parts.

Takes too long to setup - not good for frequent/short-time use. A little flimsy.

The table is satisfactory for most applications. You have to be a little careful with the plastic (The brackets for the keeping the table top flat and hooking the legs on) as breaking them would render the table unusable. It is strong enough to put a camp stove on but wouldn't hold anything much more than that. It serves the purpose for which I purchased it.

We wish the table legs were adjustable in height. We are tall so it is uncomfortable to work at standing.

Its a fine table for the price, however, the mechanism that supports the table and allows it to fold,gets in the way. The arms attached to the legs make it hard to sit in a chair at the table because they take up all the leg room. If you are just using it for a serving/cooking surface it would work fine, although it seems a tad unstable.

This is a very nice table. It is a bit tall but other than that, it's well made and easy to set up. I recommend it. Sturdy
