Meco Stakmore Solid Wood Folding Card Table - Compact, Durable Cherry Finish with Scalloped Edge - Perfect for Game Nights, Parties & Home Decor

Kinda shocked by how lovely this table is. I purchased it for use in our garage as a kind of all purpose extra work/hobby space or casual hanging spot for a quick chat and tea. When you compare it to the asking price of the typical metal frame/vinyl topped card tables, it’s an especially amazing value. My hubby was griping, only half-jokingly, that it’s way too heavy...which is not a typical complaint of mass produced portable furniture. It’s so solid! No wobbling, smooth finish, no overpowering chemical odor. And packaged brilliantly; ours was delivered on a soggy day and sat on our porch for hours. Terrified it would be damaged, I was thrilled to discover it was double boxed and meticulously wrapped. I’ve ordered higher end pieces that don’t receive this care in packaging.One reviewer said the legs didn’t lock, but the table I received in early 2019 certainly has locking legs. I opted for the scalloped cherry finish which is not really ‘cherry’. Cherry woods typically have a reddish tint and read more formal...which can skew a little shiny, but this is more of a low sheen medium brown that I’d describe as a walnut or fruitwood. As this table is offered in fruitwood too, I’m curious what that finish looks like?It may be portable and merely intended for extra seating for kiddos or for doing games and puzzles, but when I was a college aged kid on a tight budget, I sure wouldn’t have hesitated to use this as an actual full time dining table in my tiny apartment. It shames anything similar from the big box stores. Do note it’s slightly smaller than the standard card table but losing a couple of inches is so worth it. However, it is genuinely sturdy so I wouldn’t want my elderly mom lugging it about; unless that’s an issue for you, do not hesitate to purchase. Five big stars for quality, appearance, and affordability.
