Today, we’re talking about the Coleman ever since the one spring bar video we’ve been getting a lot of questions about this Coleman table. We’ve been using this for about two years now and I have to say they’re around 50 bucks, and you really can’t go wrong, there’s a few things that are with them, but nothing that you have to really worry about if you’re, not careful and it all folds up into a bag like that, a little smaller than a camp chair all right.

So basically how this does is it’s like an accordion and like that, and then you go and you hook it on the eggs. Now let me get this over here: real, quick, I’m, not gonna. Do it real professional all right? So basically, these clamp in two here alright and then this bottom part folds up and do a small little package, and that’s where the problem a lot of people have is this bottom piece here is actually kind of flimsy when there’s no connecting to it, so they Bend them or they break them, pulling out of the bag, and this is what it looks like all folded up and there it is back in its bag.

To give you a reference, this is the smaller fold-out chair and you can get it pretty much any Walmart, but that’s the size difference, so it actually packs down quite small and it’s the coleman compact table. You really can’t beat it for 50 bucks if you’re a little careful setting it up as far as the legs are concerned, it’ll last you a lifetime. It’s a short one today, guys thanks for watching.

Review review and today, I am reviewing a product from Coleman. This is the compact folding table. Recently I used this in an overnight adventure and since then, I received quite a few questions about it. So here I am today to give you all my review to go over the pros and cons, so you can make a decision. Is this a good fit for you before setting up the table and going over the stats? Let’s talk about the size of this when it’s all folded up, you do get this canvas bag. The quality of this is so-so.

It’s good enough to stick the table in, but it’s nothing to write home about. There are some loose threads on this. The quality is good, not great when it comes to the measurements. Essentially, what you are looking at here is five and a half inches by five and a half inches by twenty-seven and a half inches. So this is the canvas bag that you receive with the table. It does have a carry handle at one end of the bag. You have a draw pull. This is the tabletop. These are the legs, and these are the tabletop support beams.

Taking a look here at the tabletop. As you can see, this has a slatted design. Essentially you have the slats and they are connected with bungee cord. This is the top of the table, and this is the back of the table. The legs open up just like so so you can set it up now, with the tabletop support, you will see that there’s a hole at each end. This essentially just clips into place, push it down. You expand the table out far enough, just like so do that for both sides. Now you are ready to put the table top on when it comes to the table top.

You will find these plastic attachment points on the bottom. These simply go over the support legs that we just attached start at one end slide them over just like so, and then you take those plastic pieces and put them over the ends just like that, and the table is ready to go now that we have the table set up. Let’s go over some stats, real quick when it comes to cost. At the time of filming 28 dollars for this table, which, in my opinion, is a fantastic price, considering that there are many companies out there who essentially make the same table, but some will charge three times as much, which is pretty crazy for 28 bucks, not bad at all, but I’m getting ahead of myself going back to the stats.

As you can see, and as mentioned it does feature a slat top design. The weight of this table is nine pounds, eight ounces. It is made from aluminum steel and also plastic. Now, when it comes to the dimensions of this table, I have my tape measure here to confirm what the manufacturer states I never take anyone at their word when it comes to stuff like that, so 27 and a half or twenty seven point six. That is correct. Twenty seven point: six: when it comes to height, we are looking at right at 27.

Inches coleman states that the height of this table is twenty seven point six inches. That is not correct, at least with my table. It is 27 inches exactly when it comes to colors. This table is available in silver. Only what you see is what is available when it comes to the purpose of this table. You can use this for just about anything now. It is too heavy to go backpacking with, of course, I mean that’s common sense, but for car, camping, RVing, over land use, hunting and so on. This does present you with an interesting option.

You can even use this on the beach. In fact, it would work very, very well in sand now when it comes to the pros and cons. Let’s start on that right now, first off you could set this up in less than two minutes. It’s very very easy! Now, second, when it comes to functionality, it’s very good. This is a very simple table. The design is simple, but yet it’s also smart. All in all, I have to say that I do like the design of this table. It is slatted, so you do need to keep that in mind.

If you are cutting something right, you’re slicing, something you either have to have something down or make sure that you slice in between those slats. It’s not a big deal, but it is a slatted table. I’ve already touched applauded price already, but the price is excellent, considering that there are tables out there that cost three times as much as this one and they look to be the exact same design. Alps mountaineering has a table that looks to be very close to this and they want over $60 00 for it.

Now, in my opinion, the sweet spot really is $28 for 28 bucks. You can’t forgive any of the issues that this table has and it does have some and I’ll talk about those in just a moment. The stability of this table is also excellent here at lone wolf Mountain. This ground is not level because there’s nothing level in the mountains and, as you can see, it is very stable. It’s very, very stable if you were somehow able to tip this table over you’re doing something wrong, because the base of this is so wide.

It really does make for a stable platform next up everyone because of the finish and the materials it is very easy to clean. You can wipe this off spray it off and you’re good to go now when it comes to size, I would say that it’s a good fit for most people. What you have here is a very large area that you can cook on. You can eat at, and multiple people can sit at this table. It is, in fact big enough for four people. Of course, you would have to have smaller plates for full size, plates cups and all that may not fit, but if you’re out car camping you have your paper plates and so on.

There should be plenty of room here when it comes to breaking down the table. It’s nice and easy to do just as easy as it is to set it up also, when it’s all folded up, it’s a small form factor, so you can store that anywhere inside of your vehicle shed boat, whatever you want, and lastly, because of the materials and the coating, you do not have to worry about any sort of rust. Now, let’s move to the cons, everyone. One issue that I have with this table is that you really can’t sit with your knees underneath it because of the support here, essentially the frame of the table.

Unless your chair is really low to the ground, which most people’s chairs aren’t that low, you will have to have your legs kind of turned at an angle to be able to sit and eat the table moving on when it comes to the finish, it will scratch and it does stain I’ve used this table numerous times now with my trips and whatnot, and it is stained up, there’s some black material here that will not come off. It’s scratched up, pretty good. If it matters to you, you can prevent the scratches by being very, very careful and also you could use some sort of topper on top of this topper.

On top of this work brain. If you want to keep this clean, you could have some sort of protective barrier on top some sort of cloth whatever you want, it just popped into my head here that I should mention. While you can’t put your knees underneath the table, there is plenty of space underneath the store gear, food and whatnot. The next con that I have for this table deals with the height of it. I’m, not a very tall guy and I do have to lean over say when I’m slicing and doing something if you’re taller.

This could wear on your back, so you may need to consider lifting it up somehow or maybe you’re doing some cutting and taking a break already. I’ve talked about the quality of this table in regards to price and whatnot. We should talk about the weakest point of this table and, in my opinion, it deals with the plastic hardware that is used essentially to clip this thing together. The clip in points for the support beams and also for the table in my opinions. That plastic is the weakest point.

If the table is going to have a failure, it’s going to be there if you can baby these pieces, especially in the wintertime when plastic is more brittle, I do believe this table will last you a long time. The next point of weakness will be the elastic, but in truth that should be an easy fix. If you have an issue now that the pros and cons have been gone over, let’s summarize the review. What do I think about this table? Do I, recommend it for 28 bucks. I, definitely do I think that’s a good price for the table.

You know for this design, the materials and so on. I think 28. Bucks is very much fair. I personally, wouldn’t want to pay any more than that. I do not think this table is worth 60 bucks like some companies are charging, but for 28 bucks. This does present you with quite a few options for car camping over land use. You can take it to the beach, throw it inside of your canoe. Whatever you want overall I think the quality is good, the storage bag is OK. The quality of the table itself is good.

The finish will scratch. The finish will stain, but it is easy to clean. It offers you a good amount of space. The setup and breakdown is super simple, and this table was made by Coleman, and that is a company that generally stands by their products and they offer a good one-year warranty now before I end. This video I do have a funny review that I would like to share with you all I was at Amazon getting my details together for this video. Looking at the price and one of the reviews that popped up really caught my attention.

It is rather funny when it comes to Amazon and the reviews. Most people know that they are absolutely worthless. You never ever trust an Amazon review for multiple reasons. First, off companies can go to other companies and pay them to leave positive reviews for their products, but at the same time, one company can hire another company to leave negative reviews for a product with the review that I’m going to share with you all now. I have no idea if it’s legit I really really hope not, but nonetheless it is a funny review.

I’ll go ahead and read this to you with my notes, so the review says total waste of time and money. Unless you are backpacking, don’t waste your money on this and forget trying to return it that won’t work out well. For you, the table is extremely difficult to assemble and when assembled, it’s flimsy, no matter what it’s a funny review and I wanted to share that with you all until next time. Everyone take care, strength and honor, make sure to comment down below share your thoughts about this table.

Make sure to share your thoughts about my review. If you have any questions, make sure to email me strengthen honor.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another video review as I get text message done on my Apple watch and this time we’re back with another review for some camping equipment of courses camp ich. So what else would we do right? I’ve actually done a review for this, which was a camp table from trichology. This is their cloth. Tabletop series and I actually been asked to also review the heart or the aluminum top series.

Dadada trichology gave me an awesome favor and sent me over one of these to show you guys as well. So first of all, I want to say thanks to technology, for sending over to show you guys what it is and kind of the differences. So obviously for packability, the cloth series is a lot smaller. A lot lighter I’m not going to get into specifics because I don’t have a scale out here, but I would say it’s it’s definitely at least double in terms of packable size and probably double the weight as well.

This is definitely the cloth is very, very portable. However, the downside to the cloth is you can’t really set beverages on it. It’s very well unless it has a really wide base on it. Cots magazines stuff, like that’s fine but you’re, not going to use it to cook on for sure where the aluminum one we’re going to go ahead and set it up, sets up very, very similar to the cloth one and that the base essentially is probably the exact same base and that’s the instructions, but it just accordions out as one piece right.

We’re gonna have these two arms it’s going around that were the cloth or wasn’t specific, but because we were dealing with a hard surface. No and it’s not going to give a whole lot of Tolerance we’re going to want to make sure that these snap down and there is a little hole in the bottom of these arms and a little peg that sticks up down there. We’re going to make sure that gets all the way down both of them two locks it in place.

So that makes it so it doesn’t collapse at all, but also it’s going to make sure that these are the exact same distance apart and then inside that the bag. Here is the top itself and these little loops to hold it together for packability. Otherwise, it’s one continuous piece top you are going to essentially on the bottom of the last, the two last arms here there is a little strip that is essentially the same size of these guys they’re going to pop down into these got the arms down here.

If the ones out of the way and you’ll hear it pop right, then we’ll smooth over the other side, so it’ll lift it up cuz. If you lift up that that arm may pop out, please double check that all right. Obviously you can see I love them all over them, a lot of wind. Maybe you could get some ripple on that, but now you’re dealing with a hard surface now. This is not something that’s going to be as a stepstool. If you stand on this, you probably will crush it.

It’s not designed for a whole lot of weight. You know probably 50. If 50 pounds is probably going to be fine on it, but you know it’s: it’s not going to be a step, so you’re not going to sit on it, you’re not going to stand on it, but that said, you can do a lot of things on it, for instance. Well, if it’s actually you’re sitting there in your chair you’re talking about a stand, that’s easily going to be able to take your water bottle without worrying about falling over.

Even if it’s at an angle, it’s not going to fall over to easing. This is 2fa of an angle right, so that’s a huge bonus for the aluminum top over the top. The nice thing is I mean it must more stable surface, of course, with that as well like things, I didn’t grab all the stuff for it, but you know now you can actually cook on it now, in this case, I probably would still put down a reflective base, because there is plastics involved on these guys, and if you keep this up, there is a potential of plastic melting and stuff like that also discoloration.

So if you click on this, there is a possibility that you discolor the surface I have not cooked on it. Yet so I don’t know if those are actual. Things are going to ring true if I do notice them, because I plan on kind of going do other tests and try it out doing things with it, but just playing around with it and stuff like that. Obviously, you can see that it holds everything up. Just fine like I said: I’d still use a reflective base or if nothing else, just put anything up metal plate.

If you have like a plate that you don’t that’s a stainless steel or aluminum or whatever throw it underneath your cook style or stove, when you actually do it, if you are using canister stoves, while the canister doesn’t get hot so not going to be as much of an issue you’re going to be just fine, but if you’re using liquid stoves, then obviously these you know it can get hot underneath here, and so you can get pushback.

So they’re a lot closer to the surface. So you could do some. You could do some damage. You could just discolor the top, but you know what, if I’m, looking at camping, I’m less about aesthetics and more about use myself and of course that’s me. So that’s one of those things that I probably would sacrifice if I you know rather than cooking on the ground. This gets it up to a spot where I can actually pay attention to it.

More and I can relax, while it cooks and I’m sinking into a nice soft earth. We just had a lot of rain so but pretty awesome. It’s going to go down just like the other one and I will post the link directly to the cloth version that you want to watch the video on that as well. But it’s going to go down and you according it down right and then once you get it down, you wrap these guys on and now you’ve got a cloth and then it there’s that bag inside the bag.

Here that’s just for the top and then you collapse. Then you put it in there as well. So pretty awesome the one thing that I think that I would probably change, and this is actually something that anybody could do. You don’t even have to worry about making the company change I’m, probably going to put a little layer of rubber like a little stick on piece of rubber on the top here. So you don’t get that mat flapping noise, because all that is is just aluminum but aluminum and you get that little floppy noise and obviously, if you have something on it, you’re not going to hear it because you’re gonna have you have weight on it.

But if you don’t have weight on it and you get a little bit of wind there’s the potential of that rattling so stuff like that. Obviously it is made out of aluminum, so I’m not worried about rust, but pretty awesome again, that’s the aluminum camp table from trichology I’m going to post the link right at the top in the description, so definitely check them out. If you do purchase it through that link, you are actually supporting the channel.
