any recommendations for a good camping table for 4?

[tostaky]

should we get one with the seats attached or not? what considerations should we ake before buying one?
any recommendations?
thank you!

I bought this one yesterday.

I wanted adjustable legs and didn't want attached seats. The stools pack up inside the table so it doesn't take up too much space in the boot.

I'm very pleased with it, it's being used all week in the sitting room by the dc for craft.

What't the mesh shelf thingy for? Nice table. I'd only have room for a table in my car if I left ds at home (tempting).

I wouldn't get one with seats attached as that means you've always got to sit at the table - you might want to move from the table and sit next to a camp fire..

Agree with MollieO. Separate seats. The all-in-one table and chairs always look flimsy to me.

Personally, I like a proper comfy camping chair that tips back for sunbathing/stargazing/drunken snoozes. Any sturdy but lightweight table with folding legs is fine.

Mollie, it is a useful mesh shelf thingy for putting things in. Playing cards ? Dunno. It's gonna be useful though.

Slubber that shelf will become the bain (sp?) of your life. You will put things on the shelf and either forget that you did or only remember once you've tried to fold the table and can't!

IMO table with attached seats are ok 1) if your small 2) you got little kids.
Been through a few of them over the years camping, and would say they last 1 - 2 seasons.
Don't even bother if you have teens, they are to flimsy. This year we got a plastic table from Tesco (on offer at mo for under tenner) which is part of patio set. though we now have a caravan, so we can travel with it in there easily. Also, bought the stacking chairs for £3.50 each. Obviously, this set up if no good if you're tent camping cos of the space, but other caravanners lurking on here, may thinks its good idea?
......walks away in shame with head down, as just admitted owning a caravan

We have one almost identical to slumber, it is a very good size for 4.

Mollie if the useful mesh shelf proves to be un-useful it is easily detachable. It is currently filled with pens and My Little Ponies.

We got one with seats attached years ago before we had a patio table in the back garden. We put it on the lawn. Ds1, ds2 and sat on it. Then dh came and sat in the remaining corner. The whole thing tilted diagonally towards him! Very scary. We binned it!
