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

we have drop the plastic version to many fault with them suppliers have cut back on the quailty over the last few years however will redo the hi-gear one when available thicker plastic and a lot stronger than some of the others
the aluminium one have been a great seller and is very study compared to the plastic version
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!
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.
