Bought one several years ago, it's ok. We stopped using it due to a lack of space in the car, although now we've got the roof rack we could use it again if I hadn't have given to a friend to use on her allotment.
You do need to peg it down well, otherwise it's a little unstable. Essential if on rough ground or have small children.
Thanks for your replies folks. I have given in and taken it back! I think I will get something a bit more sturdier as I have three dogs, they could easily knock it over!

The link does not work for me, however, if it is the 3-shelf concertina one that I am thinking of, then I bought one and it served me well for 3 seasons until one of the nuts that held it in place broke.
It did need levelling from time to time, however, the pitch condition has much to do with its stability than its design, hence I carried rubber doorstops for levelling purposes.
I still use the rubber doorstops from time to time with my current Kampa Sergeant camp kitchen.
Good thing about the Aldi kitchen was that it came with its own case.
My concertina kitchen was not the easiest to put up, and I had experienced a number of trapped fingers in the past.
However, it was good value for money as a starter kitchen.

I have exactly the same one bought from go-outdoors.
As has already been said a little unstable and the worksurface section/heat guard are loose from the main section. I just cable tie them together when setting it up which also makes it a bit more stable.
i also use min with instant bbq's outside as it is metal it is ideal and saves all that bending down..!
I think they are ok for the money.
