The Casaria® garden table was delivered safely and compactly packed. The product was protected and the table arrived without any major damage or soiling. However, it was noticeable that the table was wrapped in plastic film, which detracted somewhat from the lasting impression.
The scope of delivery was complete and the table is already fully assembled. It only needs to be unfolded, which is easy and intuitive. Separate instructions for use are not necessary. Overall, the first impression is of a well thought-out and user-friendly product that scores highly with its compact packaging and simple assembly.

The garden table impresses with its modern, unobtrusive design in anthracite, which blends harmoniously into various environments. The workmanship is solid and flawless; only on closer inspection are small scratches visible on the table top, but these do not restrict the usability of the product.
The overall stability of the table is satisfactory, with the robust steel frame with a hammered look being particularly noteworthy. The durability is supported by the materials used, although no information was provided on ecological sustainability. The combination of design, workmanship and functionality makes the table a good choice for various areas of use.

In practical tests, the Casaria® garden table was convincing in many areas. The stability of the table legs is excellent and the secure folding mechanism prevents unintentional folding. However, the centre section of the table top is less resilient and bends slightly downwards when carrying heavy weights, such as larger ceramic bowls for salad or heavy soup pots.
Assembly is intuitive and quick. Thanks to the precisely fitting clamps and the practical carrying handle, the table can be assembled and disassembled without tools and is easy to transport. The easy-care materials make cleaning much easier. The scratch resistance is satisfactory overall, even if minimal damage was visible. Overall, the table fulfils most of the manufacturer’s advertising promises.

The Casaria® garden table receives an average of 4.6 stars on the Amazon platform. It is often criticised that the table top is not completely stable in the middle and occasionally shows scratches. The folding mechanism also sometimes needs help, as the clamps do not always click into place without problems. On the other hand, customers praise the fact that the table is easy to transport and can be stowed away to save space. Customers appreciate the easy cleaning, the sturdy steel frame and the weatherproof material. The table is rated as inexpensive and functional, especially for occasional occasions such as barbecues or camping. Our practical test confirms these impressions: The table is a solid choice for price-conscious buyers, even if it does show minor weaknesses when used intensively.
Prices of up to €89.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €49.99 . The garden table from Casaria® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €55.20. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
