Coleman Compact Folding Table

***UPDATE*** So 10 days out on the trail, and I'm happy. Easy and fast to put up and take down. And relatively sturdy. For the price, i have zero complaints. I am definitely going to get some adjustable feet to add to this thing. That's my only complaint. *** So i just got this, and set it up once. I'll update this as i use it out camping. But first impressions, this is exactly what I've always expected from Coleman. A good quality, no frills product that fits exactly what it's meant to do very well. It is light weight and easy to manage. You could probably hike with it, in the back of the jeep this is perfect, takes up a much space as my camping chairs. So on the odd complaints and questions: It's built to be compact and easy to put up and take down. Meaning, it comes apart easily if you try to pick it up. That said, it's quite sturdy once you put it together. And the more weight you put on it, the sturdier it becomes. I just loaded about 50lbs worth of stuff on it to test it, and it was solid. Could easily hold more. It's not a dinner table. That said, two people could sit across from each other in most standard camping chairs. But for me, taking it camping, of you can't eat it holding the plate or in your lap, you probably shouldn't be eating it anyways, lol. This is prefect between people to at the plate down, hold drinks, condiments, etc, while you're eating. I wouldn't want to sit up under it with my plate on it trying to eat, though again, two people in camping chairs probably could. And, it's really not that hard to put together. Took me about 3 minutes without reading the instructions, then after that, i took it down, back up and back down again all in less time than that. Just spread the frame out, snap in the two poles, then stretch the unrolled top across. For around $30, i already think this is one of the best camping purchases I've made. Those oddly taught yet still flimsy fabric tables start at almost twice this much. With this i'd have no problems putting a 50lb grill or stove on it. My only concerns &/or ready improvements would be, the string holding the aluminum table panels together seems a little thin. That won't matter at all when you have together, but I'll need to be careful rolling and unrolling it off i want it to last years. And, they really should've put screw tightening rubber feet (and a little larger feet) on the legs, the type you can twist so they'll expand out 1/2"-1". I might just do that myself, it could help on slightly uneven terrain.

This is THE most perfect camping table. PROS - Lightweight. - So simple & fast to put together that a child could do it. Once you know how, you can get it up in less than 30 seconds. - Sturdy when properly constructed. - Comes in its own zippered carrying bag about the size of a camp chair. - Perfect height & size for the Coleman two-burner camp stove with a small bottle of propane on the side. - Easy to clean and wipe down. CONS - The only downside I can find is that if you need to pick up the table and move it, you can only grab it by the two "bar ends" because the rest of the slats are just resting on the frame. OVERALL Coleman is a brand I know I can trust for not only good quality but good value. This table is so smartly designed, and such good quality for the price, that I'm considering getting a second one.

I bought this to use with my family at a Fourth of July celebration. Very happy with this purchase! It is almost standard table height, perfect for use with lawn chairs. It was a nice big size. We were able to have chips and dip and snacks covering the top of it. The first time setting it up, definitely read through the directions but after you do it once it’s very easy to set up and tear down. Love that this folds down and packs into a bag that you can carry over your shoulder and travel with.

This will work for what I needed, but I thought that it was adjustable and could be made taller. I bought this so that I can put a coleman camping stove on it and while that does add some height, I wish it was 6-12" taller at least or had the ability to be made taller. It is very light weight and easy to assemble and to take apart and put back in the camping bag. I was surprised how easy it is to assemble and to put back up. Also when putting it up, I semi pinched my finger, make sure when you take it down you keep your fingers out of the inside as it folds into itself as it can pinch your fingers. Did not really hurt, but just something to be aware of. It is more than strong enough to hold any food or drinks and likely even a larger water jug. I would not sit on it though, not sure if could hold a lot of weight as it is very light weight. Great for carrying and using to camp or cook on while tail gating with the coleman stove, but not for anything super heavy.

I tried out three camp tables and this one performed better than the other two... And even took to being set on fire really well! Maybe I shouldn't brag the table caught fire, but let's just say the camp stove user didn't know how to start it and excess fuel overflowed .... Slightly... And caught the stove, stove legs and then the table on fire. No it's not as bad as you're probably imagining, but still it was bad enough to cause concern to grab a full rain bucket as I watched the cook and the situation temporarily spiral out of control. Now let's talk details. We loaded these tables onto kayaks so we they wouldn't fit in the interior compartments. They got rained on while being transported, they got soaked by waves that came washing over top of the kayaks as we traversed really rough waters, but once we got to our destination, I deployed the tables to see which ones could show their stuff best. This table was by far the easiest to assemble. All tables were approx the same size and shape, but each one varied in how the top attached to the frame. I really liked this table for a few reasons .. aside from it being able to handle people lighting it unintentionally on fire. The top separated easily as the meal that started with the table being caught in flames, but the bowl containing the food got knocked over by people, and food spilled on the table top. Once the table was cleared of the stove and cooking stuff, I just detached the top from the frame, wiped off the excess food and took it to the wash area and easily rinsed the food particles and.... Spilled fuel residue away into the fire pit. Then went back and pipped it back on the frame. It took way less time than doing the same action with the other tables that had a detachable top. My only gripe about the table is that if you lean on the edge of the top too much, it causes the other side to raise up and could cause things on the table to tip over or fall off. That being said, the other tables were 100 times worse with this issue. This table handled all situations the best, was easiest to maintain, withstood human error and some abuse that would have ended many other camp tables. The table was used for cooking, boardgames, and a stand for our cameras to take long exposures of the night sky during meteor showers. Never underestimate the power of a flat, clean surface when you're camping.

I love my Coleman Outdoor Compact Folding Table! It's the perfect table for camping, tailgating, picnics, and other outdoor activities. It's lightweight and easy to carry, but it's also very sturdy and can hold a lot of weight. The table is also very easy to set up and take down. It has a snap-together design, so you don't need any tools to assemble it. And it folds up nice and compact for easy storage and transportation. I've used my Coleman Outdoor Compact Folding Table many times, and I've always been impressed with its performance. It's the perfect table for any outdoor activity, and I highly recommend it.

I use this for my tabletop grill since I don’t have storage for an assembled table and it’s quick and easy to assemble and break down when grilling and will be super handy when camping too.

This Coleman Outdoor Compact Folding Table is an absolute game-changer for anyone who loves spending time outdoors. It's incredibly lightweight and the snap-together design is genius—I had it set up and taken down in just a couple of minutes without any fuss. The aluminum construction feels sturdy and reliable, and it was the perfect size for our family of four to eat and play cards at the campsite. The included carry bag is a huge plus, making it easy to store and transport. Whether you're camping, tailgating, or just need an extra table for a backyard barbecue, this table is an excellent, hassle-free solution.
