Has anybody got one of these and are they worth the money? I know I could pay less for one but I want it to last a few trips.

The plastic ones made now seem to be much more flimsy, we have an old one about 10years old still going strong. Bought a newer plastic one last year gave it away when we sold TT. Is there anywhere local to you that sells them so that you can try them out

Dont have either but wouldnt go near a plastic one ever again!  Was invited to a bbq by a friend only to find that his wife's friends were - lets just say they were more garden party than bbq types.  I sat on one of the little seats on the plastic variety only to feel it collapsing very slowly under me, resulting in me being dumped on my dignity. And I hadnt even been drinking.   Our usual group of friends would have laughed it off and all would have been well.  These people were just too polite and it made me feel soooo stupid!   Vowed never to go near the plastic version again

I bought one of these early this year and its really fab. Slightly bigger table top and bigger seats than the plastic ones. They are alot sturdier as well and you can sit four adults on one without worrying its going to collapse!

Well worth the extra money you will not regret it

Hi

We have an aluminium folding picnic table made by Outwell Easycamp. Only used for on our first camping trip for 4 days, it is very study. That also looks a good price. Last year we paid £59 from Go outdoors.

We have had both types and the aluminium one is definitely superior in quality and strength.

Now prefer an adjustable leg table and separate chairs, which fold up small. Horses for courses, and all that.
