Review: Perfect table for small office work space. Perfect size & table space. Super sturdy & functional to last for years & years. I love the straight tabletop as it doesn't fold, but the table legs do fold. The height of this table is super easy to work on. Definitely worthy of the price point! It's a perfect sized work table!! I love it!! The large size requires a special delivery vendor outside of the regular vendors on desertcart. Those shipping delivery folks over at ESTES are great, and the delivery driver was fabulous, too!!! I don't know why I was worried!! I highly recommend this table to you for your work area. I absolutely rate it & ESTES with 5 stars!! Review: This is an excellent table, highly recommended. However, I bought 9 and 4 were damaged. Easily returned and replaced. Then the 4 replacements came and one was damaged, which I am again asking to be replaced. Moral of the story: buy this table, but if you need s specific amount immediately, then order extra to account for damaged units. Some arrive scratched and some arrive with missing shipping inserts, and some arrive with the shipping inserts smashed. desertcart should ask the manufacturer to mark this package as FRAGILE, DO NOT DROP ON CORNERS, DO NOT PUNCTURE CARDBOARD. Or, they should add another layer of foam on each side when it is packaged in the factory. The corner shipping inserts smash when the carton is dropped, they need to be more rubbery and bounce. More quality control needs to happen in the factory. Just because the package is undamaged, do not expect it to be a good unit. Don't wait until you need to use the table to open the box. Open it immediately. Don't get angry if the table is damaged, just return it and they pay for shipping. I was quickly credited for the damaged units. Be aware that you need 60" to seat 2 people, possibly longer for some chairs. The legs are not at the very end of the table and the leg support may be in the way of big people. All chairs I wanted to use were 25" to 27" in width. A 48" table will probably only accommodate one chair, 60" accommodated 2 of my chairs and may be good enough for you, or your chairs might need 72" tables for 2 chairs. Be aware of the height of your chairs, some chairs may not fit under the table. My chairs are adjustable and fit fine. Someone pushing a chair in might overturn the table even though it weighs about 35 lbs and is very sturdy. I think I read someplace that it holds 550 lbs evenly distributed, much better than the molded plastic tables I looked at. Enjoy! I love my tables! ## Features - Sold as 1 Each. - Scratch-resistant melamine top. - Gravity leg-locking mechanism. - 1" diameter steel legs with black plastic foot caps. - Black vinyl edging. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004I2LP4Q | | Capacity | 72w x 18d x 29h | | Color | Mahogany | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (332) | | Date First Available | 22 December 2021 | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Model Number | ALEFT727218MY | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item model number | ALEFT727218MY | | Manufacturer | United Stationers - DROPSHIP | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Shelves | 1 | | Primary material | Metal Wood | | Product Dimensions | 193.04 x 55.88 x 10.16 cm; 17.46 kg | | Shipping Weight | 17.89 Kilograms | | Style | Modern | | Top Material | Engineered Wood | | Type of Wood | Metal | | What is in the box? | Folding Table | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Alera - **Frame material:** Metal - **Item weight:** 17.46 kg - **Minimum weight recommendation:** 544.31 kg - **Product dimensions:** 45.7D x 182.9W x 73.7H centimeters ## Images ![Alera FT727218MY Wood Folding Table, Rectangular, 72w X 18d X 29h, Walnut - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KLj8+imBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by V***R on 22 November 2025* Perfect table for small office work space.
