I have just checked on the GOPAK site. The tool costs £27.59 and is called a ‘GOPAK Fastfold Table Tool. Margaret Baker Former Lettings Manager at Ashburton Meeting.

I do find sometimes that people try to put them up by pulling the bottom of the legs though...

They are about 70cms (2 ft 4in) by 90cm (3') / 120cm (4') / 180cm (6'). We inherited the largest of them from Bath Meeting House 4 years ago and had the others for at least 10 years, more likely 20. They're not cheap, but they do last. Ours get a lot of use, several of them being used by an art class most Wednesday mornings, others for children's activities, Quaker meals, table for Clerks, etc. etc. Best wishes, Klaus Huber Resident Warden, Bradford on Avon On Wed, Apr 26, 2023 at 11:31 AM Vicki <tmhwarden@tauntonmeetinghouse.co.uk <mailto:tmhwarden@tauntonmeetinghouse.co.uk> > wrote: Hi. I would appreciate some advice about what folding tables people have found which are good. At the moment we have Mogodirect 3’x3’ tables which are a good size for us, easy to put up and store but are coming apart . They have lasted well given how much use they get, but the steel legs screw directly into the plastic table top and after 5 years (3 really because we closed for most of 2 years due to the pandemic) are tearing through. Not particular keen on the plastic top either. Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for anything stronger that might last longer. Non plastic would be preferable; foldable is essential as we have little storage space. Many thanks, Vicki Ross.
