We use this table for everything.  We can lower it for the kids to sit at when we have extra people over.  We used it at a wedding reception for a drink table and a wedding anniversary for a display table.  I used it in my garage to stain a large box (and all the stain I spilled on it came off without having to scrub!)  We've used it camping several times. I love how lightweight it is.  It is really easy to carry and transport.  We also have 2 of the 6 foot tables which are just as amazing for dinner guests and extra seating.
