Helinox Table One Lightweight, Collapsible, Portable, Outdoor Camping Table

Let's be straight about something: if you're going car/rv/motorcycle camping, this table's probably not for you. The price point, as with pretty much any helinox product, is quite high compared to other camping tables. The reason you'd buy this table is weight. Weight is incredibly important if you're backpacking, because pints add up to pounds and pounds can mean pain. Helinox products are among the lightest on the market, so they're built for backpackers. They can also handle an incredible amount of punishment without breaking. I've taken my cot one and chair one out on several different trips, ranging from overnights to week long excursions, and I've had reason to use them outside of a backpacking context, too. Everything is still just as sturdy and comfortable as the day they came out of the box. That brings us to the table. As I said, I already own a couple of items from helinox, and I've been really pleased with both of them. I was repacking and checking my pack when I realized that, since I'd gotten rid of my old bedroll and inflatable pad in favor of the helinox cot and chair, I now had some extra space that I could fill before my pack was back to its old weight. I'd often found myself searching for a flat rock or piece of wood to use as a foundation for my camping stove (MSR brand, about 45 dollars at an outdoor goods store) and I happened across the helinox table. Since I've been so pleased with the other products I've purchased from them, I decided to take the plunge and spring for the 120 bucks. It arrived in great condition, everything fits together quite well, and it's got its own ripstop bag complete with zipper closure and packing loops. The weight is comparable to maybe a can of soda, and the handles at either end of the bag can clip to the outside of a backpack or even onto a belt if you need a free hand for a moment. Would I put a camping stove on it? No, definitely not. But it's got two cupholders and a pretty large surface area, and it makes a reasonably good place to rest your feet after a long day of hiking with a heavy pack. Or just keep it in a backpack with a chair for a walk in the park or a music festival, or even keep it in your car in case it's a beautiful day and you want to stretch your legs during a long drive with a small picnic or something. It's worth it, but there are cheaper tables if you're not worried about the weight. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my purchase, and I'd buy it again if I hadn't already.

Pros: Light Easy to set up Packs small Very useful around camp Very useful around the house Has enough tension in the table as a whole to hold drinks up right Stable little table Works great with the helinox one chair Cons: Tension may be enough to hold drinks but if you displace the weight elsewhere on the table can topple the drink Needs a relatively flat surface to be stable This is a luxury item for the backcountry, but how useful and handy this little table can be. This thing is about the height of your average coffee table, so it is kind of low. But this thing works well with the Helinox one chair. I like to use mines around the house to place my drinks and snacks when my coffee is to far away or it is taken up by the clutter of everyday life. This table is stable and has great tension but its not a true flat top table so expect limitations. If you want a completely balanced surface it needs to be on stable ground. This is perfect for the soccer field or just enjoying a sporting event. But I love this table and if you can spare the money go for it all the way.

We have found the Hilinox products to be wonderful. It bought this particular model because it is the right height for our Helinox Camp Chairs. This table is extremely sturdy, very lightweight, and compact. The plastic connectors, aluminum poles, and table fabric are very heavy duty and well made. The cup holders work great, and hold two 12 oz. cans or a 20 oz. Yeti Tumbler nicely. The carrying case is well made and holds the tabletop and poles nicely when stored. My wife doesn't like the fact that it take a minute to set up, as you have to connect the bungeed aluminum poles into the base, connect two aluminum poles to the tabletop fabric, then connect the top to the base. But after doing it a few times, you can set it up in less than a minute. Along with the table, we had two of the Helinox camp chairs which we hiked in to the Royals World Series Rally at Union Station in Kansas City early this year. If they were not so light and compact, we never would have been able to carry two lawn chairs and table the distance we did in heavy crowds. This is more of a side table than anything else, and not heavy duty enough to put a grill or anything heavy on it. I have used it as an ottoman, but that is about as much weight as I would recommend. Expensive, but worth every penny.

Had this one on my radar for a while. Got a gift card - the only way I could justify buying it...since it is "Glamping" = "Glamorous Camping" - at least for me, it isn't a necessity, but it is awfully fantastic. It really is perfect - I use it with my REI camp chair (similar to the Helinox Chair One) and the table is the perfect height. If you try to use this table with a full size chair it will probably be too short. No complaints on the table - feather weight light, bag is perfect (not too small that you have to work to get it packed away), can easily be packed into the 'water bottle' pocket on the side of most backpacks, sturdy construction. As with everything nylon, if you leave it near a campfire, the drifting embers can burn a hole in the material - so don't use it right up next to a campfire. And it is so light it can also get blown over easily. But if you really needed to, you could hang a rock off the cross member to anchor it. I'm not sure if I would use it as the base for my camp stove (Jetboil or similar). It is very taut nylon, but it isn't as rock solid as a picnic table - it still has a little (and I mean a VERY little) give to it. Also, I'm a little nervous with a stove near the nylon. But for what it is meant for, it is perfect and I love it.

Fantastic little tiny table. It sets up very quickly and is fairly sturdy. It is mesh top and it's very small. That is good for backpacking or taking wine and cheese out onto the beach for a picnic, but if you need a real table this isn't it. Super light. We carry this and two of the Helinox chairs in a bag with food etc no issue. It works well for eating or playing cards etc inside your tent if you get rained out or there are so many bugs you get chased in. Great baby changing station in a pinch too.

This is exactly as advertised - fantastically light and portable, easy to set up, stable, and has secure cupholders built in. I took this on a 5,000 off-road motorcycle trip this summer and it was a perfectly reliable companion for many a beer around the campfire. My only petty criticism is that it's very vulnerable to any embers from a campfire - they'll melt right through the top surface. Obviously I didn't expect it to be fireproof, but even the smallest ember will put a hole in the surface. It seems only cosmetic and the construction of the top surface is still fine, but worth noting if you plan to take it camping and are picky about keeping it pristine.

We were looking for a small portable table that we could take to parks along with our folding chairs to enjoy a nice lunch. This works great for the two of us. We’ve probably used it a dozen times. Easy to assemble and take apart and repack.

I like to camp with my dirt bike and carry everything I need in my backpack. I use this Camp Table constantly, even while car-tenting with the family. Like others, I went a little too close to a spitting campfire one night and an ember instantly melted a small hole in the mesh but it is inconsequential. Around the camping site, I use this to support my legs when using my Helinox Chair. I did not appreciate the mesh cup holders when I purchased the table but they are very important to hold bottles, cups, spices and spoons for eating and sometimes my iPhone. A little pricy but very well designed and constructed and I intend to purchase another. Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic, quality product and well worth the cost. super light, awesome construction and rigid when set up.

Uma mesa muito prática e resistente. Contudo achei um preço muito elevado, mas para quem faz caminhadas em longas distâncias todas as gramas a menos no peso fazem muita diferença.

A wonderfully compact lightweight coffee table sized portable table. It weighs practically nothing and I managed to fit not only this but both the Helinox One and the larger Helinox Sun Chair into my rucksack when camping recently without breaking my back or taking up too much room. It doesn't stand very high off the ground so not recommended if you are looking for a camping table you can sit around for meals unless you are just wanting a place to put things down. You can just see it pictured behind the small Helinox One chair in my 2 man tent.

Was soll man sagen: Helinox! Kleines Packmaß! Super Verarbeitung! Sehr leicht! Sehr stabil! Jeden Cent wert.

Ziemlich teuer, aber tut was es soll. Schön klein. Die Getränkehalter sind mega praktisch für Kleinigkeiten, die wegfliegen können oder eben Flaschen ^^. Passt in die Fahrradtasche. Leicht in der Verpackung zu verstauen.
