Tablecloth and flowers!!  Only the best for my princess!

'>

I bought a metre of wipe clean plastic tableclothe from Dunelm mill, cost less than a fiver, its enough to cover the table and put under the stove and grill to catch splatters..... job done !

Another fan here of the plastic table cloth - not for any aesthetic purposes ... but to stop the ketchup dripping down between the slats of our roll-up table. So much easier to keep clean!

Heavy duty ones are the best especially if you're likely to be using it outside as it doesn;t blow away in the wind.

A table cloth lends a certain amount of style methinks: just wish I'd taken the towels off the poles before I took the picture......

Towels? Hadn't noticed them until you kindly pointed them out

I have just bought a Kampa adjustable table for about £27 from a major camping/caravan chain. It sits at a low level or can be adjusted by around 6"-8" in height. All four legs are independently adjustable and it does not have the cross struts underneath that prevent you from sitting with your legs under the table.

It has a solid wipe clean top (not sure if it is weatherproof) and measures (from memory) around 1000mm x 700mm. Legs fold up when stored and the whole thing is only about 50mm deep.

It suits us; cheap and cheerful but does what it says on the tin.. er.. box.

We sat 4 around it, 2 adults, 1 12-yr old and an 8-yr old with enough room for the Lab to squeeze into a corner for scraps!

Great idea of the hanging poles to put towels on to dry where do you get the poles?

We use a lafuma oval table with adjustable legs which has lasted us years, and a tablecloth of course.
