GCI Outdoor Folding Table

I have never used this outdoors, but it suits my needs: as a table I can fold up and store out of the way easily, and quickly, which is big enough to hold a larger laptop, beverage, and maybe some small notes. The slatted top is mildly annoying when trying to write but the slats are wide enough that it isn't a major problem.It takes perhaps 20-30 seconds to figure out how to fold and unfold it quickly, but it's not super tough. Once you figure that out, there really isn't much else to learn. No real effort is required, although it's fairly tough to do with just one hand due to the mechanics of it.I like to fold this table behind the door in the bathroom so if I need to camp out for a bit, but still get some work done, I can do so. No one notices it's there, and it folds small enough that it doesn't even interfere with the door opening all the way to the protective bumper.I suspect that for outdoor use, its semi-rigid legs might make setup on an uneven surface difficult. However, that is a problem with nearly all outdoor or camping furniture, I'd imagine.On a flat surface, absolutely no quality issues in the 2 I've purchased and used for a long time: stable, no balance issues, no loose parts, no issues at all.FYI you cannot scoot under it, due to the legs, but I am able to comfortably work off of it regardless. You just can't slide your legs under and recline into a work position easily.

I was worried about spending so much on a small table - but it was worth it. Nice a small when closed; takes up very little room in the RV. Very sturdy when set up. It closes easy. When you watch some of the videos you can see people don't know how to close it correctly. Just follow the direction, it is real easy, just press the table tops against the legs and the pins go in and bam the legs close! Fast and easy! Well worth the price, well built, easy to close, highly recommend.

This is my second one. I just plain wore out my first one over the last 10 years or so. It folds down flat, and is easy to store and transport. The telescopic legs enable the user to store it in a smaller space. I use it for public performances, and in order to bring everything I need with me, my entire setup requires equipment that takes up as little space as possible, and keeps my setup times to a minimum. It’s quite strong, and very light. Highly recommended.

I wanted a sturdy, lightweight table for use with the folding chairs I bought for our RV. I'd purchased two of the ALPS Mountaineering Ultimate Recliner chairs (also charcoal in color) and this table looks like it was made to go with these chairs (which are amazing), you can check them out here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TFY46L6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1What I love about the table is how light weight it is. I was surprised at how sturdy it is and it has performed really well after several uses. It works perfectly for meals and drinks, my coffee cup didn't slide around at all. It opens and extends very easily and feels durable enough to last for a long time to come. I also really like the height of the table when fully extended. I would say it seems to be the perfect height for most standard size folding chairs and the table area is adequate for two people's plate and drinks for a meal. When it's folded up and the legs are fully retracted, it stores very nicely and is compact. I was able to fit it in a pretty small storage compartment underneath my RV.If I had to criticize it in some way, I would say that it doesn't feel strong enough to support a heavy load. For my personal use I can't imagine needing to use it for anything heavy but if you're intending to put say, a fully loaded cooler or something on top of it (which I didn't try) it may not support that kind of weight well. For general purposes and regular use though (meals, drinks, s'mores etc.), I'd highly recommend this table and am very pleased with my purchase.

Nice lightweight little table. Perfect for my purposes. Reasonably stable.BUT... the instructions are ridiculous. They are taped on the inside where you can see them. So you have to guess how to unfold it properly. When you finally see the instructions they are so poorly written that they are useless. I found a video online that made it clear how easy it is to unfold and refold the table. GCI should redo the instruction but this time try seeing things from the point of the view of a customer.

Really well made table that I've been using for some time now, it sure can take a beating. The surface seems like plastic, but it's good quality, and the body is made of aluminum so it can definitely withstand rain and moisture. So easy to set up and fold, great design.

I love this table. It is sturdy and folds so easily. I followed the directions and no worries about pinched fingers. I bought it to take for use on a trip. When folded it will fit in my suitcase and is very lightweight so won't add extra pounds for airplane travel.

Great camping table easy to put together, good size to put our drinks on book etc and compact enough for storage very sturdy and ease of use.
