I've taken this on three several-day solo river camping trips. I find it to be stable and solid. Not quite high enough to eat on when I'm in my camp chair but fine for food prep, like cleaning fish, chopping, slicing, and portioning. I thought I'd have more trouble with the rods than I do. In my experience anything that has separate parts, sooner or later loses a part. This hasn't happened. I think it's because those separate parts only stay separated for a few minutes during setup. The rest of the time they're clicked solidly in place either holding the table together or stored out of sight. It's not a fast setup but not particularly difficult either. And because it's solid metal I never worry about a coal from the campfire burning a hole in it like it did to my brand new nylon camp chair which was well out of way of the fire. And it stores nice and compact. I'm quite satisfied with it. Only four stars because it *is* kind of complicated to set up so it's not perfect but this table is one of my camping staples.
