What is a "Partner Side Table"?

When creating my partner's side table, I contacted a company called "CARRY LIFE".
According to user feedback, the following comments were received:

  • I don't want to be with other people.
  • A design that anyone can easily assemble is great for family camping trips.
  • I want a table that's just the right height—not too high, not too low—for when I'm sitting in a chair.

Based on those factors, we designed and completed the system, and the following values ​​were derived.

  • Material: Wood (Zelkova)
  • Weight: 〇 type approx. 2.4kg △ type approx. 2.25kg

Convenient height

A low chair is recommended to use with it.

Its height is just right and goes well with many chairs, so it should suit your camping style.

The chair I've placed alongside it this time is from Monnlense, but it would also go well with low chairs from brands like Helinox and Snow Peak.

Things to consider when choosing a "partner side table"

Disadvantages
The tabletops marked with triangles and circles are not space-efficient, and the usable area is less than expected.
- The tabletop doesn't come apart, so it can't be called ultra-compact.
- It's a stylish table, so it can't be said to have a high weight capacity.

Is it inevitable that prioritizing design will result in usability issues?

The usable area is somewhat small.

Compared to the square type, the actual floor areaThe usable area is small.Yes.

The triangle shape is essentially only usable in the center, and while the circle shape has more usable area than the triangle shape, it still uses less area than the square shape.

Hole in the edgeYou can't place things on top of the slit.Therefore, the usable area becomes even smaller.

This table isn't meant for putting just anything on, so be careful!

It seems best positioned as a side table to be used in conjunction with a main table.

It's okay to use multiple of them together.

The storage size is slightly on the larger side.

The tabletop cannot be folded down.The storage size is largeYes, it will.

In addition to poor tabletop space utilization,The legs will stay together without falling apart.Therefore, the added thickness is also a point of concern.

Solo campers, especially those who access campsites with a backpack and without a car, should be particularly careful.

It was too wide to fit in a 70L backpack, so it's basically designed for camping trips where you transport the gear by car.

Even though I say it's big, it's still much smaller than a typical table.
It's not very thick, so it's not a problem at all in a car!

The weight capacity of the "Partner Side Table" is not particularly high.

When using camping gear, durability is a major concern.

The "Partner Side Table" is not designed to hold a large amount of luggage, so it does not have a particularly high weight capacity.

It would be fine for camping with just adults, but especially for family camping.Be careful to prevent children from climbing on it.

If an unusually heavy load is applied, the pressure will concentrate at a single point where the three support beams intersect, increasing the risk of damage.

Even if it gets damaged,
It's a simple mechanism, so it looks like it could be used if secured with a string.

I hope this will be helpful for those who are hesitant to purchase due to concerns about durability.

Summary of "Partner Side Table"

It's not very space-efficient, but it's stylish.
The height is just right, and it's easy to assemble, which is great.
