Camp Time Roll-A-Table

Hiking & Camping > Chairs & FurnitureRated: ***** by 12 reviews.

Mountain Gear

Just unsnap the buckle and roll-out the top to find 4 legs and 2 side bars neatly packed in their own pouch. All you have to do is push the leg studs through holes in the side bars and screw them in. When Roll-a-Table is rolled-up, it occupies a space less than 1/37th its set-up size. Because there are no bulky X-braces, you get a table that rolls-up into the smallest size possible. All materials in Roll-a-Table are chosen to complement its unique design. The vinyl/polyester top meets California's fire rating CPAI-84. All this in a 10 lb bundle that carries easily even to the top of the world.

A camper's best friend. In a couple of minutes, the Roll-A-Table transforms from a compact 5" D x 32" L bundle to a 32" x 32" table surface on 28" aluminum legs that will support up to 175 lbs. It has a wide side pocket to conveniently hold your cooking supplies. Tabletop fabric is strong, waterproof and heat-resistant. An NRS XL Tuff Sack is a great storage bag for tables, stools and cots.

Design that stands the test of time

Rating:*****
I apologize up front for the length of this review, but I have to say, you just can't beat this table.

I've had two of these for maybe 10 years, and other than a few spots (I let the alcohol sit too long a couple of times when cleaning off the pitch), they show no real wear -- no splits in the vinyl, and the legs screw in as snugly as they did the day I bought them. One table got a small split in the storage mesh last year, but that's it.

These tables might be lightweight, but they're strong -- I pile computers, keyboards, batteries, heavy 4-D lanterns, reams of paper, manuscripts, you name it, on the tables for weeks at a time while working up in the mountains. I've piled 60-70 hardback references on them more than once -- and they still held up with barely any jiggling. Even 6'3" people can get their knees comfortably underneath the table for breakfast or a game of cribbage.

Key advantages over other tables? 1) They offer more surface area than other collapsible tables. 2) They have a flatter surface all the way across -- no angles in the slats, and no sagging corners like a center-collapse table. 3) The vinyl covering means spills are easily wiped up, as opposed to dripping through exposed slats of other tables that are really annoying to clean. 4) The screw-in legs are remarkably sturdy and stay straight even on rough ground. In contrast, the wide-slat insert, accordian-collapse tables are flimsy, don't hold their shape on uneven ground, and are difficult to use. 5) You can lift and move these tables without the legs popping off (as they do on the pin-style X-brace tables).

I've put in 2+ decades of working outdoors, and these tables are the sturdiest, best-designed portable collapsible tables I have ever found or owned. (I kept getting asked where I got mine -- and bribed to sell them. No, I keep saying, I mean it.)

The reason I wrote this review is that I'm just so pleased these tables are available again. I just bought 2 more for my cabins. Now I'm buying another 2 for a second outdoor kit.

A Must-Have for Car Camping

Rating:*****
We have had this table for 6 or 7 years and we love it. The vinyl coating is quite durable; we haven't had a single tear in it and it cleans easily. It is great for music festivals or rustic camping where picnic tables are not available OR when you are camping with a large group and want more surface space off the ground. We attend an annual festival at which we wait in line for 5-6 hours before we can enter: we set up this table and our camp stove and in no time have a fresh scramble and hot coffee for breakfast. We are the envy of all other festival go-ers with this table!

One of my best purchases ever

Rating:*****
We bought an earlier version of this table in 1991, and it is still going strong. The older version had two plastic pockets and the staples have come loose from them (could probably be fixed with a staple gun), but this table has been used countless times for many occasions. It nicely seats 4. In cold weather especially you may have to pull to stretch it out, but it sets up easily and is amazingly sturdy considering there is no cross bracing. It may seem expensive, but will last practically forever, and the elegant, simple design is a joy. I love this table!

Don't get rid of this one!

Rating:*****
I do a lot of camping and you can't always count on a picnic table being supplied. This table is easy to pack in a vehicle, sets up quickly and easily and is sturdy. The mesh pocket is great for holding things when the table is in use, and is a great place for the legs which helps the table roll up easily. Its use is only limited by your imagination, including tailgating at Green Bay Packer games! REI, keep this winner in stock!

Great table

Rating:*****
Solid table. I mainly use this for river trips (canoe and raft) but also car and camper camping. Unlike many products, it delivers on its implied functions. It is compact, durable, stable and functions well as table. Simple to set up. Correct height and thigh clearance. I've no complaints.

A rare gem

Rating:*****
This is one of those rare products that lives up to its expectations, and more. Easy to clean, easy to set up. Just the fact that these have been around for so long with only minor changes should tell you something.

I set up this table at a recent bluegrass festival and the folks around me were in awe! They had these really nice lounger chairs but no table. I think I sold a few of them for you!

A portable with strength

Rating:****
This a simple solution to adding space to a picnic table at a campground. It's sturdy enough to set a bottle on and packs away small in any vehicle.

make product better

The only thing that would make this product better is if it had adjustable legs
