Manufacturer’s product description
KingCamp offers a stylish and functional solution for outdoor activities with this bamboo folding table. The generous table surface measuring 120 × 70 cm is ideal for groups of four to six people – whether camping, picnicking or in the garden.

Bamboo as a material not only has a natural look, but is also highly resistant to moisture and heat. The table can be folded up in just a few simple steps and stored away to save space. A carrying bag is included, making it much easier to transport. Robustness and design go hand in hand here, making it a real all-rounder for on the go. KingCamp combines sustainability with practical everyday usability in this model.
Advantages

- Easy assembly

The bamboo surface has a smooth, even grain and looks very high quality. The aluminium frame has no sharp edges or manufacturing defects – everything is secure and stable. The height adjustment works smoothly and can be operated without much effort. The colours of the bamboo and silver aluminium harmonise very well and create a modern yet natural overall look. There are no noticeable production residues or unpleasant odours. The table legs are stable and do not wobble, even on slightly uneven ground. Overall, the product appears durable and well-designed. KingCamp demonstrates a keen sense of design and functionality here.
