My family loves camping and we've gotten so much use out of this great product. Fast to setup and a very sturdy table. I keep this table and two small foldable camping chairs in a backpack that we take hiking as a lightweight instant 'patio set'. We now take it to the park, to the pool (where the tables/ chairs may not be available during busy Summer hours), on biking trips and on day trips, so we always know we have a place to sit, relax and enjoy the place we are visiting without stressing about finding a bench or table to use. Also, because it is portable, we can always sit under the shade of a large tree, which makes enjoying the outdoors even more comfortable, rather than being forced to sit at a bench which may be unshaded. So, this product can be used for many more situations than just for camping. Highly recommend as a gift for any outdoor enthusiast!
