Product Description
The National Public Seating BT3000 Series steel frame rectangular blow molded plastic top folding table has a speckled gray, 72" long, 1-3/4" thick, UV protected, blow molded plastic table top, a steel frame that can support 1,000 lb. of evenly distributed weight, and folds for compact storage when not in use. The blow molded plastic top has a better strength-to-weight ratio than solid plastic or wood tables, is UV protected to withstand sunlight during outdoor use, and can withstand heat up to 212 degrees F so it won't be damaged by hot plates or coffee cups. The surface is lightly textured to increase scratch resistance, but is still smooth enough to write on. The gray steel legs are powder coated for corrosion resistance. When the legs are opened, gravity lock rings engage to keep table legs open when upright, and slide out of the way for folding. When folded, the legs nest flush into indentations in the bottom of the table, making a flat surface suitable for stacking multiple tables for compact storage. Plastic glides on the feet help protect floor surfaces.
The table is Materials Analytical Services (MAS) certified as low volatile organic compound (VOC) emitting furniture according to the criteria defined by U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) 2009 for Schools, LEED 2009 for Commercial Interiors, ANSI/BIFMA X7.1-2011, ANSI/BIFMA e3-2011e Furniture Sustainability Standard - Section 7.6.1 and 7.6.2, Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) EQ2.2.5, and the MAS Certified Green program. This table meets the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design.

==========
Pros:
1. The table has little plastic feet at the bottom to prevent the table from tearing up your carpet and/or scratching up your floors. Not all tables have feet, and these particular plastic feet seem to be of good quality.
2. The table is VERY stable. I tried shaking it to see if it rattles, but it does not. (This is a big deal for me because I don't want to use a desk that shakes/rattles as I write.)
3. 5 feet is the perfect desk size. I think any less than 5 feet would feel small, and anything bigger than 5 feet would feel large.
4. This table is extremely SMOOTH despite a very subtle texture on the top. When I write, my writing does not look squiggly at all. This is a big plus for me because, well, I don't want the handwriting on my homework looking squiggly.
5. This table is only about 30 lbs, which is pretty light (all things considered). Basically, you only need 1 or 2 people to carry it, which makes it extremely portable and easy to move in/out of apartments. (If you're a student like me, this is a big deal.)
6. It's the right height. If you have a computer chair at home, it'll work perfectly with this desk. (I personally bought my computer chair at a used furniture store for $25 and it was hardly used at all. So if you're in need of a chair for this desk, you may want to consider used furniture to help you reduce cost, as opposed to buying some cheap plastic chair.)
==========
Cons:
1. This isn't a huge con for me, but this table doesn't look like a desk at all (duh). If you're looking for something that could pass as a real desk, this isn't the table for you. The metal legs stand out quite a bit when put next to real furniture - but if all you need is something functional, then who cares about the legs?
2. This also isn't a huge con for me, but I thought I'd point it out: On both ends of the table, there is an engraved logo that says "National Public Seating". It's about 1 inch in height and 3 inches in width. If you want to share your desk with your friends (like when you invite them over to do homework with you), the logo might get in the way of your writing unless you put something solid on top of it to cover it. For me, it's not a big deal because I'm not sharing this desk.
==========
Conclusion:
I would buy this table again if I ever needed a second "desk". I do have my own computer desk at home, but I've taken it apart so many times that I'm afraid I won't be able to put it back together again if I do take it apart. Though, the great thing about this "desk" is that it can also be used as a workbench OR picnic table when/if you buy a real desk for yourself. It has many uses, and it's very stable. It's only about $50, so you can't really go wrong here.
The top is nice and sturdy, flat, well made, likewise, are the legs. This is better than the typical quality (lack of quality) table you typically find for $50-$60.
More than adequate for events, dinner guests, the sewing room, the computer room, the shop out in the garage. There are a couple of small items that I would have designed a little differently. But having said that, I overbuild almost everything.
One point I would bring up with the manufacture, why not put a handle on one of the long sides for transporting the table.
The table is not light, but then you don't get good quality with a table this size, that is light. I don't know how much it weighs other than it weighs in, like a good sturdy table should. Yet easily carried by probably most women, and almost all teen to grown men.
In my lengthy opinion. I think this table is a very good value, which seem to be getting harder and harder to find these days.
My last note, the manufacturer claims 1000 pounds, absolutely don't try it, I think less than half of that would be pushing it's safety limits. Trying to slide that much weight from one end of the table to the other end of the table, as opposed to downward pressure on the table, would be its weakest link. Which could possibly caused the legs to collapse. I think three or four or 500 pounds, is all you should ask this table to endure. If you're going to put that much weight on a table, you need to be looking at some sort of industrial furnture.
This is a good table, at a good price. ( Couldn't I have said that without the above rant ?)
There is no hinge in the middle to create instability or to interfere with the smooth surface. The fold down, locking legs are sturdy. There is no height adjustment, but the trade-off is that as a result there is no "wiggle" or looseness in the firmly planted legs.
The surface is very very slightly pebbled.
We use the table mostly for handicrafts, sewing projects, puzzles, and projects that have to be spread out. But we've also piled a lot of weight on it from time to time without a hint of bowing or distortion. While the table feels sturdy and is metal framed it only weighs a bit over 30 pounds, so it is easy to set up, take down, and move around.
A very nice purchase; a superior product.
Top reviews from other countries
The tables are sturdy and can support a lot of books along with a grid playing surface (we use Tact Tiles for our grid, which have a decent amount of weight when you have a bunch of them).
The legs fold beneath the table so they take up very little room for storage; I could easily stack these under a bed.
Setup and Packup doesn't take long, as the legs just fold out (or in), with a simple locking ring which prevents the support beam from moving unless the ring is pushed upwards (or moved, while the table is on its side).
The top surface is a hard plastic, which won't damage easily.
