Coleman Pack-Away Portable Camp Kitchen, Outdoor Folding Kitchen with Food Prep Area, Great for Camping, Tailgating, Grilling & More

I am glad I listened to another reviewer who said they are shipping the new model of this (and they provided pictures), as I got the updated version as well and it is terrific so far. Without referring to the instructions (except for one part for the stove support section) I was able to set it up without any problems. It goes up really quickly and easily as well, first time it took me maybe five minutes (again, that was without even reading the instructions), I'd imagine now that I know how it is setup I can probably do it in a couple minutes or less easily. Take down is super fast as well. I also really like that everything fits inside the main table when it's folded with room to spare. You could easily store some of your kitchen items in there like utensils and spices or what have you. The main table portion is pretty much all aluminum, while the stove portion is steel, but since it needs to hold far more weight that is understandable. It's still pretty light all together though, and it folds up nice and compact which will make stowing it nice when car camping or overlanding. It's also plenty sturdy I think given the cost and the construction. The only thing I can find fault with so far is that the legs are not adjustable to compensate for uneven ground. It'd add to the cost, but it'd be really nice. As it stands, you either need to get a fairly flat and level bit of ground, or shim the legs with something. I'll probably go to the hardware store and pick up some plastic framing shims (used to shim door frames and walls while you're building) to throw in there so that when I need to level it I have something on hand. They are cheap enough and one pack will be more than enough unless it's horribly bumpy land you're on. Other than that I am looking forward to using this on our next camping trip.

I bought this kitchen specifically for the convenience to my trip to Minnesota to camp. With that said, every camping trip is different and so is the weather. To put it in perspective, we camped in an Oak Grove adjacent to a lake. You didn't park where you camped, so you basically walked close to a quarter of a mile to your campsite. I read the reviews regarding the "bubbling" of the particle board by the following morning. I bought a 6x8 tarp and bungee cords so that when we set it up during the day, we could create a cover for the entire top of the kitchen at night (stove, utensils, spice, etc). After the stove cooled off after dinner we pulled the tarp from behind the kitchen and draped it over the top and front and bungeed the front to the aluminum legs. In the morning, not a drop of dew or moister underneath this and the aluminum legs held up just fine. Let me put it this way: would you want to buy a "pack-away kitchen" known for how light and convenient it is (particle board and aluminum), but expect it to be constructed of wood and steel? The weight is perfect, so you can't complain about what they used to make it with. Not to mention, it fit great in the packed trunk of the car. This isn't a product you can manhandle, but it can hold up fine if you use it properly. Also, I've seen complaints regarding the propane tank not having a rest. I normally take a storage box/bin when I go camping (waterproof and holds all your random stuff) so it worked out to rest the tank on that when we cooked since it sat to the right of the whole kitchen anyway. We disconnect our propane after every use, so it doesn't get in the way of getting into the bin. We set up camp during the day and the first night camping we had thunderstorms all night. Woke up the next morning and took the tarp off...and not one "bubble" on/underneath the table. The second night there was a wind storm, and the lake didn't help cut down the 50+mph winds. Our campsite ended up losing a total of one very large canopy and 1.5 gazebos (it didn't COMPLETELY destroy the one the kitchen was in)from snapping poles. Our kitchen didn't fall over and the tarp held up yet again. Not a spot on my whole kitchen other than some mud. True, this can be flimsy and dent a bit because it stands on aluminum legs and has a laminated-like particle board table. However, it was one of the lightest things I had to carry to camp AND it had handles...my air mattress is decently lightweight but doesn't have handles. :) I would recommend this product if you have the patience to take care of it. It's simple to set up and take down, but you have to take a couple extra minutes to protect it.

I received this a few weeks ago and put it up easy in no time. In fact I didn't even look at the directions. One latch that holds the prep area together is a bit snug and hard to latch thus dropping it a star. I have not taken it down but trying to get that latch undone is gonna be the hard part. I was worried it was gonna be to short for me but in fact very comfy for me to work at. Where I camp I have to bring every thing in. So this is perfect for me. Easy to clean if I make a mess and I can place my dish pans on top and do my dishes. easy for my cutting board and a few other things right on top. Though I wish it was a bit bigger in the prep area. Very sturdy if u got it on level ground. Though I wish there was a cover for it for at night while it is up. I use a shower curtain liner instead. It is a bit heavy to carry. I also would like to see a closed storage space under the mesh. That way supples for cooking and eating can be stored once dry.

Love this, packs away small, easy to setup, perfect size. Bought a different brand of this table and was very unhappy with.

I love this because it is a space saver in the car and great for camping alone or with one other person. Not really for a family of six unless you need just additional set up space. Perfect for compact camping, holds my two burner stove, with perfect space underneath for my cooler. It is definitely sturdier than I expected and quite cute! The only critique would be the thin metal brace with the hooks, kinda flimsy and won't be holding heavy coffee mugs, no biggie for me, I will use it to hang a flimsy dish towel. The taller pole to hold a light is strong, table top is great and the whole set up is functional, solid and I am thrilled that it packs up nicely into itself for saving space in the car! Good item for the $$. :)

I love this camping table. So compact and the separate grill platform frees up so much space for the table. So worth the purchase.

We have used this for over 10 years. We use the stand to put our heavy cooler on, seperate from the table. The table is great for food prep & drying dishes and is easy to move around.

This was perfect for our family camping trip last week. I’ve been debating on whether or not to invest in a camp kitchen for years. So when I saw this one at a reasonable price, offered by Coleman (a reputable brand name) I broke down and bought it. I’m so glad I did! It is compact when packed away but offers plenty of work surface once assembled and it is super easy to put together. It was very sturdy, which was somewhat surprise given how lightweight it is. And the storage net underneath was perfect for putting a container with all of our essentials. We didn’t use the pole for the lantern since we cooked over the fire at night, but I could see where it would be very helpful if cooking in the dark. My only regret is that I waited so long to buy one.

Small , light and very convenient. When I opened the box one of the tightening screws were broken but that doesn't influeance the overall component.

La di de regalo y le encanto. Es bastante práctico a, un poco pesada pero ocupa muy poco espacio. El material es muy buena calidad

Un joli produit l’américaine qui fait rêver les aventures autour d’un bon déjeuner cette façon différente de préparer à manger dehors ou sous tente fait parti de l’expérience coleman ! .....et de touts cet produits qu’on aime !!!!.....

I have had one of these for years, bought a second one for my eldest who we infected with the camping bug. Easy to build, easy to tear down and an intregal part of our kitchen tent. Nice and compact for car camping

Just received my Camp Kitchen. I thought it would be flimsy, but the thing is solid and steady as a rock. Great engineering by Coleman to make this unit collapse into a small package. Excellent quality and value for the money. The only drawback is it's awkward to set up. You need space to fit it all together. Recommend you build it on blanket or tarp if in a forest. This is far better than a basic folding table and has a smaller footprint for easy storage and transport. Highly recommended.
