Pros:"Cleans up nicely","Easy to use","Nice size for 8 people","Sturdy","Easy to transport" Cons:"Plastic clips for legs" Best Uses:"Parties and guest seating","Outdoors" Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. We rented these tables from a firm to use for a graduation party. They were easy to carry and set up. We could tape down the plastic tablecloths to the underside without fear of damaging the surface. They were sturdy and even. The fact the tables folded in half made transporting them in a SUV possible, so I didn't have to rent a truck. I am very tempted to buy a couple instead of renting them next time! The ONLY negative thing I could think of was that one of the plastic clips that helps to keep the table leg anchored when the table is opened, snapped off. We could still use the table, but it did make me uneasy. Wish they could use metal clips instead of plastic on such a nicely built table.
