We have this one from Go Outdoors:

I love it, its currently up in our garden, DD1 has been sitting out there abd drawing on it this week.

Its not very light to carry but it is sturdy.

DH instructed me to "stop bloody buying camping shit" as we "haven't got any room left in the car as it is!"............... hmmmmppphh that'll be me told - no folding table for me then!!!

i wouldn't go for anything with the chairs integrated...

If one thing breaks, the rest is unusable, and it's really restrictive as to the number of people who can sit at the table (and makes it hard to cook on, stools will get in the way).

We have a decathlon table, stools for the DS and chairs for us. It means you can use the chairs away from the table too.

KellyKettle do the benches and little stools fold inside the table? I think probably not, but cant tell from the pic. Would be brilliant if they do. We have a blue all in one plastic one, but I like the look of that one ;-)

Yes they do. It all folds into a boxy-carry-thing. It's heavy but I can carry it. The legs on the table unscrew and slot into holders under the benches. I wasn't sure about getting it but we use it for eating, cooking, playing and it's been great.

Think if you join Go Outdoors mailing list you get extra money off codes too.
