Ok ..... this might be a hard one.
We need a new camping table - needs to be square, would prefer the "blow moulded" plastic type, be able to sit on all four sides (ie no bars in the way to stop you from sitting at the table),have the legs fold up nice and compact and the kicker - be less than 810mm across.
This should challenge even the most savy swaggers. Might even be a mystery prize for the winner.

Our Bunnings has the new square tables. Only purchased a rectangular blow mould table a few months ago but now want to upgrade to this one. From memory, it's about $45. Will try to get more details for you. It is very similar to a traditional card table, with a split hinge across the middle and no annoying bars to get in the way. Would be approx 1 m square when open and roughly 1m x50cm folded up. Will return with more details if someone else doesn't reply first. Paul

The first one is more than 810mm - and is the exact one we already have! ;D lol
the second one looks promising - anyone have one of these? - would hate to pay for the postage and then not be happy with it.
Thanks for your help - new front runner?

Yeah - we already talked about this. But i would prefer the "blow mould" top as it is jsut so easy to look after. Might end up having to yet.

The bunnings ones are 91.4mm x 91.4mm and 69.8 mm high when open and 91.4mm x 45.7mm x 7.5mm when folded up
Too big for you I guess.

I got one of those as well. Worked well. What I like is the legs fold out easily and you don't have to fiddle around to make them full height. Muuch easier than similar ones I have wrestled with.

We used to use a blow mould table and it was great but it was just too heavy. We now use a small light weight camping store type table. When this eventually dies we'll get a Drifta table as you can order the size you want and each leg is individually adjustable for uneven ground, which is our biggest problem when camping:

I've got something like one of these which I pinched out my old mans camping gear a few years ago and it's great. Light as, and very compact. Vinyl top so easy to keep clean.

It is now approximately 30 years old, and still going strong.

Nah no good - as in the first post - needs to be less than 80cm.
Thanks anyway

I'm starting to think it would be easier if I just made you one! lol

We use these.
http://www.lifetime.com/tableschairs/rectangular/4-foot-fold-in-half/80206 (http://www.lifetime.com/tableschairs/rectangular/4-foot-fold-in-half/80206)
I know they are not square but they pack up square. 610mm x 610mm x 70mm. They fit perfectly under the table in the Jayco Finch (along with an endless number of chairs and smaller tables.)
We have two of them. They are height adjustable. We use one as a bench (good for your back when prepping food) and one as a table for four.
If we are in a big group we can use 2 together either as a long bench or a long table.
Cheers

I bought one from OfficeWorks a couple of weeks ago; I think they may have sold out fairly quickly. It folds up to 2' x 2' (about 60x60cm) so small enough to throw into the boot of a sedan.
