Folding camp furniture built around a small bundle and a published packed size
Camp tables and camping chairs are where ALPINEZ turns up here, and its listings share a brief: fold down small, publish the bundle, keep the mass under control. The table folds to 40 by 30 by 8 cm at a stated 2.5 kg. The chair folds to 37 by 16 by 13 cm at a stated 1.4 kg. Both figures are given in three axes rather than as a length, which is what lets them be checked against a specific pocket or crate rather than imagined.
Three deployed heights — 26, 50 and 62 cm — come from fitting and removing leg extensions, four long pieces and four short ones. That covers a stove table on a tent floor, a side table beside low chairs, and a table you can eat at, on one 60 by 40 cm aluminium frame with a mesh shelf slung underneath. It is not an adjustment made on the spot: changing height means changing parts, so it is a pitching decision. The top is MDF, which is stated plainly and is the part of the design least happy about being packed away damp.
Neither product publishes the height you actually meet. The chair gives an erected size with a 65 to 70 cm range and no seat height at either end of it, which is the figure that decides whether standing up is easy. The table publishes its three heights but nothing about its feet, on a design whose 26 cm setting is meant for soft ground. On both, foot design is Not published on the listing.
Between them the listings publish a load rating of 30 kg for the table and 120 kg for the chair, aluminium frames on both, and 600D Oxford for the chair fabric, which is a fuller sheet than much of that shelf offers. Neither publishes a tube diameter, so the load figures have no section behind them. Buy on the packed bundle, which is published; ask about seat height, which is not.
