81008 Hanging Balcony Table, Foldable, Black

Table

This was very easy to set up requiring only a few cable ties to be cut and a then the balcony hooks to be slid into the frame. The metal work is good all round and the main table element is made from black plastic which is made to look like a wicker weave. The plastic feels a bit cheap to the touch, strong enough for use but just not that premium.Once set up, it's very easy to hook over the balcony. The arms can be adjusted for the width of the balcony railings/wall but even on the smallest setting, it wasn't tight enough for our balcony. It still works but it's something to be aware of if you have a thinner balcony railing/wall.The height adjustable hook arms also have a bit of wobble play especially when on the lowest setting. It does get better the higher you raise the table but doesn't fully go away. For us, the table works best on the lowest setting, so is something we'll have to get used to.There is a bottom "stabiliser" which again is adjustable and sits against the wall/railings helping keep the table level, but I found that even when set and tightened it can still be knocked.The good news is that the table is perfectly stable and strong enough when opened up. We had drinks and I even worked on my laptop on it without any issues or fear of it collapsing. The two slightly recessed cup holders are good and held our glasses but weren't wide enough for our coffee mugs.The table folds very easily when you are finished so it is out of the way, though do note that the bottom stabiliser still juts out (unless you put that away too) and it's perfectly placed for knocking your shins if not paying attention.The table is obviously weatherproof which is great so can be left out without fear of damage but the all black look is rather boring in my opinion and I wonder if offering different colour options for the table would be a good idea for the future and lift the look.If you are after a space saving, folding, stable balcony table at a reasonable price then this is pretty good. I think it'd work best if your balcony features a thicker wall/railing though.

this balcony table comes in one piece, no assembly is required. The top is two hooks that allow adjustment according to the width of your balcony balustrade. At the bottom there is also an adjuster against the balustrades to level your table. The table is foldable, when deployed, it is supported by a frame slotting into the hooks underneath, cantilevering off the vertical members.The table is made of plastic that is suitable for outdoor furniture; whereas the tubes of the frame is also powder coated so the whole product is good for outdoor use, you can just leave it out on the balcony. The table is sturdy enough to have breakfast on or for a few plant pots.Very simple design yet so effective. I don't have a balcony but I used this as an extra table to put my plants on next to the kitchen window, it works great!
