Does anyone have this ?

If so how do you transport it, we got one today (from online) and its great but doesnt have a bag to keep it in, only the box, and I dont think the box will last too long

I know a lot of Hi gear furniture comes in carry bags even the bigger stuff but doesnt appear to be one for this set

This is the set Hi Gear Elite Picnic

Doesn't it fold into iitself with a carry handle?  I'm thinking of getting one and had just presumed it's a bigger version of the 4-seat ones which you just carry without a bag... Is that not the case??

If it doesn't fit inside the cars it's more than your family needs :-)

Yes it is, but moving around in a top box I don't really want it getting scratched etc, would prefer a bag of sorts to keep it in

Apart from the lack of bag how are you finding it? Would you say that it's a worthwhile purchase? How much bulkier than the 4 person tables is it when packed up?

Thanks

Ahh only bought it last week from ebay with slight damage, its perfectly fine though

compared to a 4 person table with built in chairs, its about 2 inches longer, and one half the thickness again when folded up and really not that much heavier

For 6 of us yes (2 adults, 4 kids aged 5, 9, 10, 12) we think it will be better in the long run because it means we can leave one of the tables behind

I have got the Aldi version with 4 seats and yes it is a good product but awkward to transport. This year I am going to lie it flat in the roofbos ontop of a towel and strap it down. I will put my bedding and pillows etc on top olf the table so it should be ok I hope.

I had to make a cover for my kitchen stand as it was getting stratched in the trailer. Just cut up an old single duvet cover and put some velcro across the bottom to 'seal' it in.
