Premier Housewares Snack Table, 65 x 49 x 39 cm - Rubberwood

I bought this as a small work table for my observatory. It's just about wide enough for a 15" laptop with enough space to use a mouse. It's high enough for me to manage a session sitting on a low stool but just about low enough not to be clobbered by the scope or counterweights when making a slew. It seems reasonably stable for holding the laptop or when swapping over cameras, not sure I'd trust it with the full weight of a telescope, it folds away neatly when not in use, so ideal for my use.

I have been looking for a folding table for a while now because I work in a small room and a large table is out of the question. The primary use I'd have for a table is to use my keyboard/ mouse or graphics tablet as I work at a distance from my computer screen. I'd also want to use the table as a traditional drawing board.I needed something that could be unfolded in a matter of seconds and put away just as quick. This table does just that. The wood is sturdy enough, the legs seem 'solid' the table top is possibly layers of wood (in my opinion probably better than so called 'solid' wood, after all, skateboards are made of out 7-ply to make them stronger. It also helps contribute to a lighter table; this is very useful because you can move it around with great ease. The surface is veneer to help make cleaning easy and the corners are rounded so you are not going to have an eye out.However, it isn't the most stable of tables and you can rock it around a little, but for my purpose it hasn't given me any cause for concern. I wouldn't advise building a card tower on it though or using it for delicate modelling or intricate craft work. It could, in theory, be modified by adding more bulk to the ends of the legs for added stability, but that would be a hobby in itself.The other real negative here is the plastic shrink wrap they have used to protect the table top. Now, I'm all for cleanliness, but, this table appears to have been constructed with the wrap on! Meaning that the screws have probably gone through the wrap. You have to tear it away and that is fine until you hit the underneath. You then need to take the wrap away close to the leg connectors and pull the wrap away.(I found that particularly stubborn wrapping is able to be twisted with a pair of tapered nose pliers and pulled away, but it does take a bit of effort). Other than that you may have to unscrew the wooden components underneath in order to remove the wrapping fully. I still have the tiniest amounts of wrapping under the wooden components but that's a very small price to pay. And in a way it is nice to know that it is super clean and new.I'd say this table is generally well worth it's price, I can type and draw on it fine and the folding aspect is simply smooth and effective. I would, however, probably advise against it if you are looking for a very stable platform to base your craft.

Useful table, sturdy but very light

At the price, I expected this table to be crudely made but adequate for the job (easily moveable jigsaw table). It wasn’t. It was well made, nicely finished, and looked as though it cost more. My four stars for two of the categories merely reflect the fact that no lightweight table can ever be classed as sturdy and no foldable table is really easy to fold. It would collapse if it was! Overall, I was impressed and would definitely buy again.

Perfect and hight and size for what I needed.Dropped a couple of stars for the laminate top, as the natural wood of the underside of the table is way more attractive. It dose wobble a little when in use too.

Value for money, good packaging, good quality material.

Great table does the job just a bit wobbly.
