just thought i would let people know about my bargain (i think) today, bought a blue folding table and chair set from tesco today for £18.66 on offer from £27.99, just in case anyone is looking for one.

Well done, I noticed they have cheapie tents reduced - £20 for a double skin 3 man, which would be alright to let kids loose on in the garden for that price.

The pen is mightier than the sword - but only if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp...
Whilst it wouldnt hold an adult, its great for the kids!
------------- Enjoying caravanning, realising what an expensive hobby it is and spending the family’s inheritance before they can get their hands on it!
Be aware there are different sizes. I have one bought originally in UK, then saw one while in France for much cheaper.....got it home and found it a bit smaller than UK one. But they are great things. Just have to be careful to fully extend legs and lock.....screws tend to come undone and if un-noticed you sit on seat and it colapses and probably breaks a bit......easy to put in new screws but use nyloc locking nut then no more problem!
We also bought one of these from Tesco for £18.66. It's rubbish. Broke on the second day of camping. Now bought a height adjustable, aluminium slat top table, twice the price but far superior and it folds into a carry-bag. Height adjusts so we can sit on our comfy, folding camping/outdoor chairs when using it. The plastic one was not comfortable at all to sit on.
We got one two years ago. They aren't that srong and you need to be careful about making sure it is put up correct.
Ours broke last year, so at the end of a 3 week camping trip we binned it.
I've been looking at the more sturdy, £70 jobs but just never had the money.
Then this week had a Tesco coupon for camping stuff. So bought another. OK it may not last that long but considering the way my kids sit at it I'm not surprised. Plus the coupon was for 500 points so once turned in to deals would be worth £20, so in effect the table was for free.
------------- If you see a family struggling to put up the tent then it must be us!
