GCI OUTDOOR Slim-Fold Cook Station | Portable Folding Kitchen Table with a Heat Resistant Tabletop, 4 Side Tables & Storage Rack, Perfect for Picnics & Camping Trips

Let’s all admit that, at this point, ordering from Amazon is often a gamble when it comes to quality. This product exceeds my expectations in terms of quality and utility. It comes assembled; it takes 30 seconds to unfold or collapse it. You can feel the sturdiness. It’s not heavy, but it’s dense. A small detail that’s usually overlooked, but not here, is a grip for securing/collapsing the supporting hinges. On most folding tables, you have to bash your hand against the cold metal support to secure or loosen it. This table has little grips that save your hand from getting pinched while bashing the metal. The top is perfect for fitting the standard two-burner propane tanks most people use to cook (e.g. Coleman’s two-burner stove). I usually camp with only a 6 foot collapsible table, but by the time you lay out all of the cookware and food, you’re out of space for other stuff. This has enough space for basically all of your cooking items to be organized and placed on, freeing up other table-top real estate for your essentials. This is my first GCI product, and I can see why they have a good reputation. It’s the little things that count. For example, aside from the grips I mentioned above, the table comes with rubber bottoms that prevent slipping and also create a square bottom (as opposed to the rounded bottom the metal naturally has). If you’re looking for a little extra and organization space while camping, get this. You’ll love it.

Purchased for Boy Scout summer camp Patril Method cooking @Goshen. Exceeded Expected value to hold cooking stove and meal prep, freeing up eating table space. Was set up for 7 days outside under dining fly and was used 3x-4x daily. Excellent choice. Most scouts stand between 5’ and 5’10” tall. Height is comfortable and good for all height Scouts and adults. Both top center platform (we used for cooking) and lower center platform locked easily into place and held stable throughout the week. Center portion Held our Coleman 2burner stove for cooking. We were able to stage our Dutch oven on bottom shelf until we returned it to trailer. Side shelving on both sides was stable and very handy for staging both food to be cooked on left shelf then food to be served on right side shelf. We did not use the lower side shelves in either side. We left it up all week. No issues. Only issue we had was setting on Uneven ground but that is an issue with our choice of cooking ground level location and not fault of this product. Easily remedied with manual ground leveling adjustment. It Travelled well (flat, maybe 3-4 inches thick) but we will store/travel in its original box for protection. Overall very good design. Held up well for outdoor use. Fairly rugged design. Folds reasonably flat and has handle on side for easy carry. Bottom line: would purchase again for this intended use.

A friend had a camping kitchen that she raved about. Though it was handy, hers was heavy, and setup/take down was cumbersome with all of the zippered cabinet sections, back splash, and upper shelves. And when I looked it up, it was very expensive! I wasn't envious when I realized how hard hers was to bring camping, and I didn't have a situation where I would set up my kitchen and leave it. It needed to be portable for me (a petite woman) to handle by myself. I absolutely LOVE this GCI Slim-Fold kitchen. It is exactly what I needed and wanted. It is relatively light for what it is, and I wouldn't want it to be "lighter", that's where the sturdiness comes from. I had no worries with my stove, or boiling water, or cast iron pans, this kitchen, once set up, wasn't going anywhere. I liked the shelves open, I set up my kitchen under a screen tent and use dollar tree baskets to keep things organized on the shelves. I had plenty of room to prep, cook, wash and drain everything, plus the design of the shelves accommodated hanging up towels to dry, our trash bag, and utensils. My friend's kitchen may look more impressive, but mine behaved impressively, from compact storage, easy set up, to excellent performance while in use. This kitchen has turned me on to the GCI brand. I wasn't familiar with them, but now consider them to be one superior in quality!

Well designed, sturdy camp table. Unique folding design is well engineer right down to the thump tabs on the hinge locks. Wish it had adjustable leveling feet, but that's easily remedied by a stone or two. Table is strong and the side tables are great, perfect for my three burner griddle.

Bought this for first family (of four) camping trip. It works great and I would strongly recommend this to a budget minded camper looking for a sturdy, easily set up table that is well made. Top tip, be sure to level the ground as much as possible before set up. Even a small incline and your pans can slide across your camping stove. Collapsed, it is very compact and has a handle to carry on its side. The table pops open very easily and sets up quickly. Shelves feel sturdy and has a lot of storage. Ends of each shelf have convenient options for cups, towels, and even paper towel holder. I took one star only because the surface is smooth plastic and everything slides too easily including our camping stove. Even with heavy pans filled with water/food the stove would slide if bumped. I recommend a rubber mat for the top surface.

This grill stand folds up and sets up with very little effort and no tools required. It is light enough for this out of shape 50 something woman to carry although it was purchased for my husband and made a great birthday gift. The center section accommodates our outdoor/rv grill almost perfectly and despite the front two legs hanging off about 3/4", it is extremely stable. The shelves all operate independently so users can decide how many they want to extend, and while none of those will hold nearly as much weight as both of the center sections, they will definitely hold a pan of meat, condiments, tools, etc. I read "Lynda's" review about using the art portfolio as a carrying bag and am happy to report that it does the job perfectly. And while the bag is a little wider than the opening to pass-through storage compartment on our 2018 Winnebago Minnie, the unused space in the bag folds in and allows us to slide it in easily. I am thrilled that the stand will be protected from damage as it rubs against all the other rv-ing paraphenalia stored there. In case her review is gone, the case is: 1st Place Products Premium Art Portfolio Case 24 x 36 inches, soft-sided, water resistant, carry all, shoulder strap. This stand was a bit more expensive than some of the others that I looked at, but reviews on many of those indicated that set up was not simple and sometimes tools were needed and not all of the others had shelves that were nearly as versatile as these are.

This was the perfect table. Normally I backpack camp or have a table at a state park. We needed a table on an extended canoe trip that allowed us places to put materials down and cook in with ease. The table cleans up easily, folds down into a compact carry. It is well built and everything snaps into place so you can be confident with heave stives, pots, pans, and food without it tipping over. I like the multiple layers so we could really get everything out of our packs and coolers and cook it there.

I bought this after researching a lot of camp cook station type tables. This one was on the lower cost end of almost all of the ones I was seeing. The frame is a larger diameter hollow metal than most of the aluminum ones researched which I felt would make it sturdier while still remaining light enough. It folds up for storage in less than 30 seconds and unfolds for set-up just as fast. This is very nice when you have so much other gear to worry about taking time to pack up. Just fold it up and done. The aluminum shelf at the top center is great for a table top stove or grill. I use a Coleman Triton 2-burner and there is plenty of room for it. There is a metal wire shelf below this near the base where it's sturdiest. You could probably put a small cooler here if you needed to. The side shelves are hard plastic and nice for condiments or utensils or dishes. There are notches in them at the sides and even a cord on one to hang a roll of paper towels. I wouldn't place anything too heavy on the side shelves as they don't have the same amount of support as the center shelves. Also, be sure the table is counterbalanced to take the weight you place on the side shelves to prevent tipping if you do put something fairly heavy on it. It's not really a big hazard or anything, just use a little common sense and you'll be fine. Overall this table is a useful organizer, it stores easily, and is light enough for car camping or tailgating. With the price also being more than reasonable compared to similar products, I highly recommend it.

Used this on our 3 day camping trip this weekend and I love it! It had a an area for your paper towels, hang utensils on the side, 4 surfaces for storage or prep and a sturdy surface for your camping stove and a large area underneath for a Rubbermaid container. This is a staple for all camping trips in the future. Pros: Easy to carry, easy to set up, does not take a lot of space. Strong, sturdy good quality and spacious. Cons: No place to hang a lantern or light. *Recommend a head lamp or a light that attaches to your stove if cooking at in the dark.

I use it for my non permanent set up on my attic's open terrace with a go anywhere grill. Perfect for a small group BBQ session. The fold away tables are super useful to put you stuff on or hang things off and I like how my paper kitchen towels hang off the side. When not BBQing I just fold it away and store flat in my store room. The pros of this non perm set up vs a non portable grill or ketttle is that I get to clean up my grill (in a dishwasher) and table (in the shower) easily and store it totally clean without having to leave it out in the open.

La amo! Es super facil de armar y plegar, facil de cargar, es super resistente, muy comoda para organizar cosas y tiene todo lo que necesito.

Good construction, easy to set up, portable, useful size (not too big, not to small). Some people might find the adjustability useful but I always have everything unfolded.

Great cooking table. Does exactly what’s needed. Very sturdy and compact.
