Question: Does the lower shelf NEED to placed when the table is upright? Would I be able to sit on a stool with my legs under the table?
Document: I only give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I thought it would be a lot sturdier. Lightweight materials are good for on the go, but I was also looking for something that would last a little while. I feel like the legs especially will bend easily because they're pretty thin and wobbly. The shelf and table parts seem like they could handle quite a bit, but I still won't be bringing this out as much as I had hoped to. The covers are nice and velcro on.
I ordered this table to use a birthday party in my home and it worked perfectly.Pros: Easy to set up and break downCarrying CaseCons: Is a bit flimsy, wish it was more sturdyThe shelf buckles in the middle and could use more supportI haven't taken it down and it has remained used for the past 2 weeks. The shelf, although it buckles a little, is able to hold many liquor bottles. I think I had about 12 on there.
I purchased this for our distillery tastings we do for liquor store promotions & tailgate parties. The bar is lightweight and convenient quick set-up & breakdown. The bar is compact & lightweight fitting easily into the carry case which has a nice shoulder strap making it easy to take the bar & still be able to carry other items. The lower shelf has a center brace so I'm able to place my usual mixers & supplies that I use at the tastings. For the price it's an excellent purchase.
I am a freshman at college this year and me and my friends are always looking to play drinking games in our room. Unfortunately our dorm rooms way too small to fit a big table, but this works perfectly. It is easy to set up and great for any party game you would play on a ping pong table.
The concept is fantastic, but upon receipt of the product, we opened it up and set it up. It was so incredibly flimsy that we packed it right back up. There is no way this would survive one night.
thank you for making my work easier! table is light and simple to assemble and carry around! it is perfect for parties!
This table does the job for which it was purchased. It performs as portable table for cleaning hunting equipment and is very stable yet light weight and easy to store. This was a solid value.
We bought this item for a bar feature at our home on the patio and it works great. Not as big as I originally thought but does the trick.
All the friends and family loved it and want to borrow the bar at their parties. The items is collapsable and fit snug in the garage and does not take up much space. I highly recommend. Although not an amazon prime item, I received this faster than other items I had on the order that were amazon prime products.
I was a little skeptical about the product before purchase given the low price an additionally amazon had a similar item listed for almost twice the cost. I decided to give this item a test mainly because the height was five inches taller than the similar item on amazon. This bar is the perfect height for a bar, sturdy enough to be used outdoors on grass and elegant enough looking to be used indoors as a temporary bar for a party.
Answer: The shelf does not need to be installed, but the table will be very wobbly without it. You could sit with a stool under the bar, however, the whole table is pretty flimsy. Definitely useable, but I would recommend using the shelf, which would inhibit you from putting your legs under the table.
