About The Essential Folding Side Table
What is The Essential Folding Side Table?
The Essential Folding Side Table is a compact outdoor accent table from Highwood USA, sold under the brand's ELK OUTDOORS line. It's built to sit alongside an Adirondack chair, lounger, or porch rocker, giving you a sturdy spot to set down a drink, a paperback, sunscreen, or a phone while you unwind outside.
Key features
- Material — Crafted from high-grade recycled plastic lumber that convincingly mimics the look and feel of real wood, without the sealing, sanding, or staining.
- Assembled dimensions — 20" wide by 17" high by 14" deep, a footprint sized to slip neatly between two chairs or tuck against a railing.
- Weight — Just 7 pounds, light enough to reposition with one hand as the sun moves across the deck.
- Folding design — Collapses flat for off-season storage, easy transport to the campsite, or stowing in a shed when the weather turns.
- Ready to use — Ships fully assembled, so there's no hardware to fuss with on arrival.
- Pairs with Adirondacks — Designed as a companion piece to Highwood's Adirondack chair lineup, but works equally well next to any patio seat.
- Warranty — Backed by a 12-year residential warranty from Highwood USA.
Who is The Essential Folding Side Table for?
This is a smart pick for patio owners, cabin dwellers, and porch sitters who want the warm appearance of wood without the seasonal upkeep. It's equally useful for tailgaters, campers, and anyone with limited storage who needs a side table that disappears between uses. No skill or assembly know-how is required - lift it out of the box, unfold it, and it's done.
How does The Essential Folding Side Table compare?
Stacked against natural wood side tables, this one skips the annual refinishing and won't crack, splinter, or rot, which is the trade-off most outdoor wood furniture eventually demands. Compared to lightweight aluminum or plastic camp tables, it feels considerably more substantial and looks at home on a finished patio rather than a campsite. And unlike fixed-frame composite tables, the folding hinge gives you genuine portability and off-season storage flexibility, which justifies the step up in price for shoppers who want one table that handles both jobs.
Best use cases
- →Next to Adirondack chairs on decks
- →Camping or outdoor lounging
- →Small balcony or patio use
- →Seasonal cottage furniture
- →Poolside drink and book holder
