What is the "Aibou Side Table"?

In creating the Aibou Side Table, "CARRY LIFE" apparently listened to user feedback, which included the following:

• I don't want the same as everyone else.
• I want a design that anyone can easily assemble when camping with family.
• I want a table that's not too high or too low when sitting in a chair – just right.

Based on this, they designed and completed the table, arriving at the following specifications:

Since each one is handmade, the weight and size can vary slightly.

I actually tried the "Aibou Side Table".

Use at camp

At camp, tables tend to get messy.

I mentioned that poor space efficiency is a concern, but it allows for neat use by making you consider what to place on it.

Additionally, the wooden and distinctive design, especially when paired, makes the campsite look even more stylish and impressive.

The interesting part is the slotted holes.
They're perfect for hanging Sierra cups and look really cool!

If you have your favorite Sierra cups, the Aibou table will allow you to make the most of them.

Use at home

Using it as a bedside table in your bedroom at home makes it very stylish.

How about taking advantage of the wooden texture with a classic lamp for reading before bed?

The cut-out part of the table was very convenient. It seemed to be a good match for decorating with dried flowers, or placing smartphone charging cables and aroma diffusers.

It's nice to be able to organize cords stylishly.

If you place it in a vase with a subdued design, your room will instantly become more vibrant.

Advantages of choosing the "Aibou Side Table"

So, let's re-examine the pros and cons of the "Aibou Side Table".

Unique design is attractive

Camp tables tend to be so standard that they all look alike.
I really wanted a new table like this.

The Aibou Side Table comes with a round or triangular top.

While most table tops are rectangular, the distinctive design of this table is eye-catching.

Using two together at your site makes it even more stylish.

You could place a vase in the living room, or a book you're reading on your bedside table.

It's a table that's easy for about 2 or 3 people to gather around and use.

Easy to assemble

Assembly is as simple as opening the legs and inserting them into the underside of the tabletop.

It's so easy you won't even have to think about it.

Even children can do it, so you might even ask for their help.

Convenient height

We recommend a low chair to go with it.

It's just the right height to pair well with many chairs, so it should fit your camping style too.

The chair we used for this photo was from monnlense, but it would also go well with low chairs from brands like Helinox or Snow Peak.

Concerns when choosing the "Aibou Side Table"

Is it inevitable that prioritizing design makes it less practical?

Usable area is somewhat small

Compared to square shapes, the actual usable area is smaller relative to the total footprint.

For the triangular type, only the center is truly usable, and while the circular type has more than the triangular, it still offers less usable area than a square type.

Since items cannot be placed on the slits around the edge, the usable area becomes even narrower.

This table isn't meant for piling everything onto it, so be aware of that!

It seems best to position it as a side table to be used with a main table.

Using multiple together is also fine.

Storage size is somewhat large

Since the top cannot be folded, the storage size is larger.

In addition to the tabletop's inefficient space utilization, another concerning point is that the legs only bundle together and do not detach, which adds to its thickness.

Solo campers who access campsites without a car, using a backpack, should be particularly cautious.

It was too wide to fit into a 70L backpack, so it's fundamentally designed for camping styles where you transport it by car.

Even though it's big, it's still much smaller than a typical table.
And it's not very thick, so if you're using a car, it's no trouble at all!

The "Aibou Side Table" does not have a high load capacity.

When using camping gear, durability is often a concern.

The "Aibou Side Table" is not designed for carrying large amounts of luggage, so its load capacity is not exceptionally high.

It should be fine for camping with adults only, but be careful to ensure children do not climb on it, especially during family camping.

If an unreasonably heavy load is applied during normal use, pressure will concentrate at the single point where the three support points intersect, increasing the risk of damage.

Even if it were to break,
its simple mechanism means it could likely still be used if tied down.

I hope this helps those who are hesitant to purchase due to concerns about durability.

Summary of the "Aibou Side Table"

It's a little less space-efficient but stylish,
and it's great that the height is just right and it's easy to assemble.

Recommended for those who:
・Want a side table that's just the right height.
・Want a unique design that can be used both camping and at home.
・Prioritize incredibly easy assembly.
