Anyone got one, are they any good, when my 3 year old stands on his chair and leans on it, is it going to fold up and trap him in a melamine and full English sandwich.
I think that you'll find the Argos one is very shoogly. We had one of a similar design a few years ago, and binned it after one too many carefully prepared dinners slid into the mud after one of us nudged the table by accident. Also, when trying to eat on it, the plates leapt around. As one person tried to cut meat, the others' dinners were whizzing all over the place. It felt like being on a small tug boat in an ocean gale. Not recommended.
The other table on your link page - the aluminium slatted table - is a much more robust design, and would cope with your three year old attacking it with his Bob the Builder toolset. But, it is much more expensive, and probably much heavier.
I've been looking at that argos table as well - we do have the white table from there which was about £10 and is perfectly fine but are thinking of getting another table.
I'm far from an expert on this type of thing as I have only just started going camping. I have also been looking for one of these tables and found one in Focus for £7.99 but unfortunately, they were sold out. Unsure about the quality compared to the ones above tho.
Yes we had one, it's not a bad table but we didn't pay £20. At a tenner it was worth it. Unfortunately the central hinge succombed to someone's drunken wife leaning part of her anatomy on it......
Do you want it for eating or as a food prep table etc...or both?

Thanks guys, but Argos just made my mind up for me - It's not on offer anymore and at a fiver more, the aluminium slotted one looks better value. Gona have a look in Focus as well though.
Also, off down to the local camp shop to give their tables and chairs the fat bloke test ;-) They must hate me down there, I've been in loads of times testing stuff, but then try to buy online to save money. Might splash out on 10 ground sheet pegs this time though, at £1.50 can't see anyone beating that price.
Had a look at the red ones in woolies yesterday. They look almost the same as the £8.99 ones in Focus. Unfortunately, the last one in my local Focus was on display about 30 foot in the air and the young store assistant I found wasn't fully trained in the use of stepladders, so it's still there.
Interestingly, the one in Focus has little rubber feet to help the table stay upright, but I think I prefer the Asda style one, as it looks more stable.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
