am looking for a new table.,

it needs to be very light, fairly big (there are 5 of us) and it needs to fold up quite small.

not sure if the roll up ones are any good?

should i get one with chairs/stools included? or get separate chairs?

any/all advice welcome

we've had one of the 'roll up' ones - it's fab, very sturdy when it's up. Would completely steer clear of those stool-and-table picnic arrangements, because unless you plan to spend a small fortune then they're very flimsy.

something like this ours isn't Gelert, but their stuff is usually pretty good.

I agree about the table and stool in one.... I've had 3 and they've all been rubbish, despite going up in price each time in a quest for better quality.

Where are you off to OP?

p.s. get separate chairs. Small folk (under 8) in our tent get their own separate table and they can use small chairs at it. Otherwise you have to get bigger chairs and start sitting them on cushions every time they want to eat / colour / play at the table. Utter PITA. small cheap table, little folding chairs, all lightweight, job's a good 'un.

Another vote for the gelert Mrsshrek linked to, we have that one and it's great. Too high for my DC's 7 and 12 to eat at, so have smaller table for them.
