Alera ALEFT727230WA Wood Folding Table, Rectangular, 72w x 30d x 29h, Mahogany

Perfect table for small office work space. Perfect size & table space. Super sturdy & functional to last for years & years. I love the straight tabletop as it doesn't fold, but the table legs do fold. The height of this table is super easy to work on. Definitely worthy of the price point! It's a perfect sized work table!! I love it!! The large size requires a special delivery vendor outside of the regular vendors on Amazon. Those shipping delivery folks over at ESTES are great, and the delivery driver was fabulous, too!!! I don't know why I was worried!! I highly recommend this table to you for your work area. I absolutely rate it & ESTES with 5 stars!!

This is an excellent table, highly recommended. However, I bought 9 and 4 were damaged. Easily returned and replaced. Then the 4 replacements came and one was damaged, which I am again asking to be replaced. Moral of the story: buy this table, but if you need s specific amount immediately, then order extra to account for damaged units. Some arrive scratched and some arrive with missing shipping inserts, and some arrive with the shipping inserts smashed. Amazon should ask the manufacturer to mark this package as FRAGILE, DO NOT DROP ON CORNERS, DO NOT PUNCTURE CARDBOARD. Or, they should add another layer of foam on each side when it is packaged in the factory. The corner shipping inserts smash when the carton is dropped, they need to be more rubbery and bounce. More quality control needs to happen in the factory. Just because the package is undamaged, do not expect it to be a good unit. Don't wait until you need to use the table to open the box. Open it immediately. Don't get angry if the table is damaged, just return it and they pay for shipping. I was quickly credited for the damaged units. Be aware that you need 60" to seat 2 people, possibly longer for some chairs. The legs are not at the very end of the table and the leg support may be in the way of big people. All chairs I wanted to use were 25" to 27" in width. A 48" table will probably only accommodate one chair, 60" accommodated 2 of my chairs and may be good enough for you, or your chairs might need 72" tables for 2 chairs. Be aware of the height of your chairs, some chairs may not fit under the table. My chairs are adjustable and fit fine. Someone pushing a chair in might overturn the table even though it weighs about 35 lbs and is very sturdy. I think I read someplace that it holds 550 lbs evenly distributed, much better than the molded plastic tables I looked at. Enjoy! I love my tables!

Sturdy and well made

I ordered this table last week. I meant to read the reviews prior to me ordering but I forgot to. So even though I had already placed my order, I read the reviews. My heart dropped. The reviews were HORRIBLE! I was so worried that I had made a bad purchase and was wondering if I was going to have problems sending this table back! To make a long story short. I received my table in really good time. I opened up the box, and I was EXTREMELY happy!!! NO DAMAGE AT ALL!!!! The table came packaged with protective covers on all the edges. This table is very sturdy, great quality, and is a great price. I believe this table will last a life time! Not sure why so many others received damaged tables, but maybe through the negative reviews, the company paid attention and corrected the problem! GREAT JOB! I am so pleased that I am getting ready to order another one!!! I LOVE MY TABLE!!!!

After reading all the negative reports about bad packaging, I was hesitant to order this table. My table made the trip in excellent condition. It’s not the bad packaging that’s the problem with these shipments but rather the rough and careless handling of the delivery services. No amount to packaging can survive the rough treatment by these types of delivery services.

Bought this table thinking it was a good value. It is, but the factory handling of the table is not good. The surface of the table is marked when something struck the table. Usually it is an operator rushing or the table falling (former plant engineer here). The box had no damage, but the table is fine... surface mark aside. This will be a computer table / desk in the near future. The table is sturdy and supports a lot of weight. No wobble, its pretty enen on the top, no major sagging, no bumps or issues around the perimeter. Overall, would be a good value if it was not damaged.

As always, these tables are fabulous. I use them for desks and like to stack one on top of the other. Currently I have one of my five-foot long desks on the top. It gives me extra shelf space. I can also use the supports as hangers, such as for my headphones or a monitor. For this particular one (6ft x 18in), I'm a little disappointed that the supports go so far in from the sides because I was hoping for plenty of leg room (the five foot 30-in one has the supports flush against the sides). However, it's understandable that the supports need to be a little more central for stability. The only problem I've ever had is that the 18-in tables sometimes tip a little when pushed. This is resolved by putting heavy things on it - like another table. I have never once been disappointed in an Alera folding table. I just wish they had more size options.

Very satisfied with this table.
