Sports reviews of GSI Outdoors Micro Table

Customer Review: This little Table will WOW you... seriously!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

From its stuff sack this table readily unfolds... the two support rods are easily slid out from the storage clip and slid through the holes in the table top slats... then the legs unfold to one of two available heights... and you're in business - cook, eat, whatever on a clean level surface up out of the dirt. To take down, you ... and I dislike this phrase as much as the next person... "reverse the order." However for this table it really is true. Fold up the legs, then remove the support rods from the table top slats and slid them into the storage clips, then fold/roll up the table top slats, slide the table in the stuff sack and you're done. Personally, after 35 years of backpacking and cooking/eating in the dirt I decided to try this out. I'm so very grateful that I did. This little table lifts my stove, food, water bottle, and cooking gear off the ground and provides a reasonably dirt free and level place (sometimes with a bit of shimming with pieces of wood or small rocks) to cook and eat from. I also use this table to prep for the next day with my map and GPS unit, place my solar charger for whatever item I'm recharging, use as a platform for performing small gear repairs, mending tackle, playing cards, and many other uses. Using this table also minimizes the dirt pigging back'n on gear back into my pack. For me, this little table is a comfort well worth the minimal bulk and weight to backpack with it. This little table rolls up and easily straps onto the outside of my pack - right next to my trekking poles or ice axe. If a sporting goods retailer is in your area, go there and ask the sales staff to let you try it out... odds are you'll end up buying it. The 15-1/2 X 11-1/4 inch table top collapses to a small bulk of 15-1/2 X 2-1/3 X 3-1/4 inches the 1-1/2 pounds of weight do not deter me from backpacking with it.

This little table is a marvel that does not require a degree in mechanical engineering to figure out. However there are a couple of glitches that might slow you down at first. The table comes from the manufacturer mostly accordion folded with the last slat back folded ending up on the side of the accordion folded section. As goofy as it is there is a reason for that. The two pair of legs are mounted on the same side of an odd number of slats (5) that make up the table surface, thus if you accordion fold the entire table top you'll quickly learn that the last slat will not fold over because of the leg placement. An even number of slats would eliminate that issue, but then the table would be either one slat smaller or bigger. Should you pay attention to how the table is folded when you pull it out of the stuff sack and refold as the manufacture packed it - you'll save yourself a bit of heartache. Don't try to accordion fold the last slat as you'd have to stretch the cords to force it that way, and if you do you risk either breaking the bungee cords and/or stretching them out resulting in a loss of elasticity. For me, it's an extremely minor issue.

The second item is the storage of the two Support Rods, which are inserted through holes in the table top slats on each end of the table to provide structural support. There is a plastic clip mounted to the underside of one slat between two opposing legs. These Supports Rods must be slid out from under the legs BEFORE the legs can be properly unfolded out into position... and likewise the legs must be folded up BEFORE sliding the Support Rods back into the storage clips. Should you not follow these steps you'll find yourself not able to fold or unfold the legs properly and you'll end up using colorful expletives, when in fact it is an easy task to complete. With the storage clip being of a ridged plastic - use with care to protect it so it does not break. Again, for me this is a minor blimp.

About GSI Outdoors
GSI opened its doors in 1985, after a small group of British Columbian siblings made their way down the West Coast to San Diego. Beginning with a few pieces of blue enamelware and a smattering of campfire accessories, GSI Outdoors grew through the years to include full design, manufacturing, sales, and marketing departments, all tasked with developing and marketing an ever-more-innovative line of outdoor cookware, tableware, and accessories. Siblings Don, Ian, and Kathy Scott eventually relocated to Spokane, Washington, where they continue to define innovation through the creation of unique, imaginative, and fun products that reassert their enthusiasm for the outdoors. GSI Outdoors is still a small, privately held company, with no obligation to shareholders, a corporate board, or anyone else aside from its customers and employees.
