Robens Adventure Small Table: on the trails
Folding up into a slim pack that resembles a set of tent poles, the Small Adventure Table from Robens is easily erected (once you get the knack of popping the poles together) to form a small and simple-but-sturdy table with aluminum legs and a polyester surface that works as a coffee table, for an impromptu game of cards or even as a small side table at night if you’re bringing a camping bed.
The top of the table is fabric, not a solid material, so unsurprisingly we found it to be a bit more wobbly than a plastic or aluminum tabletop would be. But it still works well to hold glasses, plates, etc when on flat ground.
The little carry bag keeps everything neat and tidy when it’s back in your hiking backpack, and is also easy to strap to the side of a smaller rucksack or to a bike pannier.
The stuff sack and main material of the table aren’t waterproof, but they do dry quickly if you encounter rain. At this price point, we reckon this is a handy little design to own for any kind of camping adventure. A larger version is also available.
