aluminum roll up table

Just wondering if anyone has tried a roll up table and what their thoughts were for using it for face painting.

Looks nice!

I've been looking at this one. It has a second shelf to put items on that you need, but a bit out of the way. A little more expensive though. I got a chair instead. This will have to wait until I make more money

mmmmmmmm double shelf is good!

With a roll up table, I thought that maybe stuff may spill between the slats as I'm not sure if there's a space between the slats or not. Hard to tell from the picture.

If its the same as the one I had (until a drunken rugby player STOOD ON IT after we packed away the kit for the night and left our tables in the supposedly locked booths) its a gem.

The slats had a crack between, that's all. And I always used a tablecloth so no problems.

miss it and they seem to have stopped selling them here in Hk. Was SO handy & light - rolled into a tube bag.

Duh..... never thought of a tablecloth! That would sure make clean up easier...

Thanks for the insight of your experience Cat, it give me more confidence in ordering it now!

Go for it...so easy/ handy to have. So many times you get promised a table and arr to find its ankle high or way too big or -once - a priceless antique!!!

At the moment I'm terrifying the street vendors (pushing insurance/ phones etc) who used to use them by pouncing on their stalls to see if they have the tabe I want and where they got it. Annoying thing is they sell them in UK camping shops but seems pointless shipping 1 out when the MAKE them here!!!

ever since I had a spill on my table I started using one of those big over-sized thick colorful beach towels as my table cloth. There won't be anymore runaway streams IF that ever happens again lol. Works great, fits over the whole table and I use to have a paper towel handy to dab my brush if it was too wet but now I just dab anywhere on my beach towel.

btw- that roll up table looks neat, I'm still searching for the perfect table to fit in my pocket

"New Pocket Tables are 34" X 34", but when rolled up correctly, can fit perfectly into the back pocket of your tightest jeans!"

Hahahaha. Let us know if you find it

I tried seeing how much it would be to ship out to Canada - and they won't even do it. Ha. I don't need a table right now, but I may rent a PO Box for that!

most of the time I use one of those super cheap plastic tablecloths I get at the Dollar Store (Dollar Tree where I live... I seriously probably need a 12 step program for how obsessed I am with the DT!!!! hahaha)

They wipe up a few times then you can just toss it. I cut them apart too to cover smaller areas. Sometimes I set up on a provided table and put up a display showing my full parties that I do and I use a real tablecloth to look classy. I just cover the entire end with the cheapy so I don't ruin the real fabric one.

I need a pocket table too girls. And when is it gonna be possible to just teleport to my gig with all my stuff? No carrying!

Amen to that! Here I've been working on my Jeanie Blink, and I shouldv'e been working on an engineering degree.

I hear you....

I checked around and there is a US storage warehouse across the border (only about 30 min from where I live) so at the moment I have a director's chair making it's way from California.... right now it's in Billings Montana. It was going to cost me about $200/chair (purchase price was only $74) after customs, duty, brokerage fees and shipping.... so I'll have to figure out if I saved myself any money when I get the chair. Fed EX sure is fast though... only ordered the chair on Tuesday!

Ohhhhh aren't you a clever one! Little hard to find a beach towel when it's -20 degrees celcius... but I'll definitely keep that in mind this spring. A little elastic around the corners would keep it from flapping too .

Metina.. what an ingenious, helpful lot you have on this forum!
