I was happier than I expected with these tables! They're much lighter-weight than I expected, yet really sturdy-feeling. The "clip-in" functionality to stay open felt a bit weird at first but I warmed to it because they feel more stable than some of the old "sliding bar" folding tables that I've used. Quite compact, perfect for apartment living and occasional entertaining. Only lost a star because one of the tables showed up with a dent in the metal leg bar (it still works fine)
