We are awaiting delivery of this one.  Obviously can't comment on quality but seemed like a good price for an adjustable one.

Unfortunately, unless they have changed the design, this table features in our worst buys list. The concept is great, but the leg adjusters need a very strong hand to tighten (I can't) or the legs sink if you lean on the table. The table also wobbles so much we have to keep our drinks on a backpacker table alongside, or the contents will slop when you cut anything on a plate. Our old unadjustable version was better - my husband still says that I should have added adjustable feet to that rather than gone for the Royal table. Unfortunately we sold the old one before trying this one for real.

We are going to try adding bungees diagonally between the legs to see if it reduces the wobble, but I am constantly looking for a stable replacement that does the same job and packs small.

Let me know if they have improved the design and its better - we'd love to know!

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

I got the Lichfield one with the flared-out legs from Argos and it's been a great cheap'n'cheerful buy. Used it to cook on on my last trip.

Thanks for the info Speedcamp - it's not available until June so I may well cancel the order and get an unadjustable one - will let you know!

Cheers
