About terminology

The term folding tables used here denotes camping and picnic tables that fold when packed and remain as a single piece all the time. This implies that there is no particular assembly here. You just unfold the tabletop and expand/unfold the legs.

Their construction is such that legs fold from two sides into the tabletop, and then the tabletop itself folds in half. The resulting packed table looks like a very thin box, and you normally have a handle to carry it that way.

How to choose a folding camping table

So you have seen all the tables, and if you are undecided on how to choose here are a few tips.

Legs adjustability: This is important because of several reasons. This adds to the versatility of the table in the sense that you can use it as a dining and cooking table, or as a side table.

But this is also great in the camp where the ground is rarely flat. So you can change the height and make the tabletop horizontal. This is particularly so with tables that offer any height within the given range.

Note also that most of them offer adjustability in pairs, for two legs adjustable together. But there are examples where you can adjust each of the legs independently.

Storage elements: Several tables in the list have storage elements. This is useful to keep stuff off the ground, they are removable so you can use them when you want. All in all, having such an addition adds value and functionality.

Packed size: It is not much you can do about this, all the tables in the list are designed to be thin when packed but also large in two dimensions.

Weight: There are big differences in the weight, by a factor of three or so. But in general, these portable outdoor folding tables are not designed to be carried long distances, so I do not think that weight is so crucial. You can check our separate list with best backpacking tables if the weight and packed size are essential.

Ease of use: All the tables here are really easy to use, so there is not much to think about this issue. You simply unfold the tabletop and then unfold the legs.

Durability: You will notice that typically the tabletop is an MDF laminate. Such materials are water-resistant but I would not expose them too long to rain. This is because water can get in if there are tiny cracks or holes in the covering layer, or it can get in from the sides where you normally have some aluminum frame with screws.

Height: You will notice that most of them are not particularly high even in the highest position. Typically the maximum height is around 70 cm and this is not so impressive. So choose camping chairs to fit, you have them many here in the site.

Price: All these tables are here because of several reasons and one of them is their affordability. But there are differences, of course, so check always and bear in mind what the table offers.
