The 10 Best Aluminum Folding Tables

This Picnic Time Oniva Portable expands to create a tabletop and seating for four people, then folds down small enough to be stored in a carrying case. While it is too heavy for trekking, it's a great choice for car campers or RV enthusiasts.

The Outsunny Folding has built-in handles and, with the legs collapsed and folded up, can easily be toted around with a single hand. It's a great choice for the fisherman who needs to clean his catch or the plein air artist who needs room for her materials.

With some practice, the Timber Ridge Roll-Up can be set up in about one minute and can be broken down and tucked away again in the same amount of time. Its aluminum construction is augmented by steel frame supports, but the unit still weighs less than 10 pounds.

The TravelChair Side Canyon is the ideal accompaniment to your favorite camping chair. This diminutive model is just about the right size to hold a lantern, a book, and a beverage as you lounge around your campsite in style.

The Camco Fold-Away Side Table may weigh less than 4 pounds itself, but this plucky little piece of furniture can safely support loads weighing up to 110 pounds atop its 19-by-19-inch surface. It is only about 2 inches wide when folded, too.

The Redcamp 4-Foot is lightweight enough to be used at a picnic or a campsite, but its size and shape also make it a great serving table for an outdoor party. You can throw a cloth over the top and use it as an indoor piece, as well.

The Table In A Bag costs twice as much as many ostensibly similar units but, as the name suggests, this outdoor furniture can be conveniently collapsed, rolled, and tucked into a bag. In fact, it stores away compactly enough to fit into luggage or a large hiking pack.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a model much more portable than the GSI Outdoors Micro, which weighs a respectably low 24 ounces — that's less than 2 pounds. You might need a little time to get used to its setup, but once you do, you'll have a useful backpacking tool.

You could easily describe this KingCamp Roll Up as heavy duty, thanks to its 176-pound capacity, although it weighs in at only 15 pounds. Its overall construction is also robust, with a rustproof aluminum alloy top and steel frame.

From one of the world's most trusted camping and outdoor products makers comes the Coleman Compact, a piece of furniture suitable for seating four diners yet which can be easily tucked away into the trunk of even a compact car.
