GCI OUTDOOR Slim-Fold Cook Station | Portable Folding Kitchen Table with a Heat Resistant Tabletop, 4 Side Tables & Storage Rack, Perfect for Picnics & Camping Trips

This was the perfect table. Normally I backpack camp or have a table at a state park. We needed a table on an extended canoe trip that allowed us places to put materials down and cook in with ease. The table cleans up easily, folds down into a compact carry. It is well built and everything snaps into place so you can be confident with heave stives, pots, pans, and food without it tipping over. I like the multiple layers so we could really get everything out of our packs and coolers and cook it there.

I'd been wanting a camp kitchens for 20 years, finally bought this one for use camping last weekend, and I LOVE IT!!! I'd been watching Marketplace and Craigslist for a used one until I realized that this one is 3-4" taller and considerably longer than the older models by Cabela's or Coleman...I'm 5'9", so the 32" counter is wonderful. The unit itself is well-constructed, absolutely simple to open and reclose, and much sturdier than I was expecting, especially for the price (I paid $169 for it). Three of the table sections have 2 cup-holders that are designed to hold stem-ware (wine glasses, etc) but I used those to hang coffee cups from by their handles, which really helps for remembering which cup is whose when they're all are the same! There's an abundance of storage-shelf space, it folds compactly and has a carry-handle attached, is as attractive as a camp kitchen could be, and really helps with organization and flow of meal prep and cooking...extremely functional. Although I didn't actually use the sink this trip, I couldn't recommend the GCI Outdoor Master Cook Station | Portable Folding Kitchen more highly..

We have a smaller couples travel trailer with an outdoor kitchen, and over the years we have assembled a kitchen and patio e with furniture and tables that all fit together to create a compact and efficient kitchen and outdoor living space. The table top for the camp kitchen we have had for over 25 years was warping and needed to be replaced, but for the kitchen and patio ensemble to still fit and work together, we needed to replace it with a camp kitchen that is about the same size as our existing camp kitchen and also has similar underneath storage shelves. Our existing camp kitchen measures 22 x 53, and after a lot of looking, I was excited to find the GCI Master Cook Station that opens very much like our existing camp kitchen and, when partially set up without the end shelves, had measurements described as almost the exact same size. When the table arrived, we set it up right away. It is just as easy to set up as described and we love the fact that each of the snap up supports have a thumb projection to avoid pinching fingers in the hinges. We also love the flexibility of being able to set the station up either partially or fully and that it can be partially collapsed quickly to be put under cover for sudden rain storms. We also love how sturdy it is, that most of the table is level at the same height, and it won't hurt to get it a little wet. The only disappointment is that the table top is much narrower than described, so it is not as close to the size of our existing camp kitchen as we hoped. Our existing camp kitchen is 22 x 53. The dimensions for the Master Cook Station when opened without the side shelves are listed as 22 x 56 - almost the same - but the actual table top is only 15 x 56 inches - about 7 inches narrower than described. Fully opened with the end shelf it is 15 x 70. Our existing camp kitchen has a work area of 7.7 sf. Partially opened to about the same length, the Master Cook Station is 5.8 sf, and fully opened it is 7.3 sf; so it is 17 inches longer than our existing camp kitchen but still has less work space. This isn't really a complaint, but an observation that the width description does not seem to be accurate, and we were surprised to find the actual table depth so much smaller than described. The length and height described are both accurate. One other big plus for the Master Cook Station is the height. I am 5'4" and my husband is 6'4". The Master Cook Station is a comfortable work height for me while also being high enough that my husband doesn't have to bend over. He loves that! Overall, we love how easily the Master Cook Station sets up, the flexibility of being able to set it up in several different configurations, that it is sturdy, and that it can get a bit wet. We can't wait to see how it fits in and functions with the rest of our outdoor kitchen and patio ensemble on our next trip in 2 weeks! If we could change two things, we would. 1. The telescoping pole for hanging a light is a nice feature, but we probably won't use it. The pole is located halfway from each end of the table, and when collapsed, it extends several inches above the table top. That limits the ability to put something right in the middle of the table that might hang over the edge. It would be great if the pole could be collapsed down to table height or even detached. 2. The sink is large and a nice feature, but again, we won't use it. The table top is slatted, so water, spills, or dirt can get down into the sink requiring some extra cleaning. It is a nice, additional storage area, would be great if the sink were removable, too.

This cook station is a game changer while camping. Very easy setup and take down. My Coleman two burner fits perfectly on top. Plenty of shelving. I bought the silicone mat someone else suggested which prevents the stove from sliding. Very sturdy when setup. Really just perfect.

I always struggled to find the space I need at a campsite to set up my cooking gear.... this has solved that. It has all the features/space you would need to use a 2 burner propane grill. It has exactly enough room to make a great meal... the hanging rod for the lantern was crucial too, because I tend to cook as the sun is going down. It's a little heavy, but when you fold it up, it condenses down to about the size of a large folding beach chair. The quality is fine, it's extremely functional, and it packs up and takes very little space. I was a little hesitant to get this, but I'm really glad I did. It's perfect for a quick getaway camping trip and solves all your space issues for trying to cook a meal! Packs/Unpacks in about 30 seconds and will take up very little space in your vehicle. Definitely recommend for anyone who likes to cook outdoors at the campsite!

This is our second foldable camping cooking table by the same manufacturer. The table unfolds very easily and locks in place. The quality is excellent and the shipping was great! One table holds our Weber Q grill and the other holds our new Weber 22” Griddle. There’s additional room on both lower shelves to store cooking utensils and such. I highly recommend this portable and compact camping cooking station.

I have used this on two camping trips so far. One time I had to set up at night and it was easy to set up in dark/low light. This is perfect for heavier family camping trips, base camps, and out door grilling for bigger family gatherings. It packs up easily and very compact for storage and transport. It’s light weight, but very sturdy with the aluminum frame and platforms. When I used it, it handled a food prep, and two burner camp stove, and food serving area during the meal, and then transitioned easily to handle full clean up for everything. It had plenty of extra storage shelves below to hold extra pans and dishes, supplies, and fuel. The sink basin made clean up much easier. The whole set up can be cleaned easily. This needs level ground to stay balanced. The filter in the sink basin drain can get clogged easily with food particles during washing and for grey water I just pulled the filter off to drain it into the bucket.

I have always been on the lookout for a sturdy, yet functional camp kitchen to bring along on our RV adventures as using the picnic table at the site is not always easy when you need space to cook, but also to eat! We not setup our Blackstone to the right and place this against the side of our camper to hold all condiments, food items, etc. The paper towel holder is simple yet fully functional and easy to use, plus having some retention from the cord helps in the windy conditions and keeps towels from coming unravled in the wind. The garbage bag holder idea is decent but we still utilize a separate trash container as the retention on the clips is not always perfect. Side tables are very sturdy and the lower storage area is large, however having the cross structure of the table in front does limit the ease of placing larger items such as coolers. We utilize it with a small basket for extra towels, cook ware, etc. The sink is not as practical as I had hoped but this is what I expected for a soft basin sink style of camp kitchen. We have a small faucet that is clamped onto the side and connected to the campsite water so we can have running water with a bucket placed under the drain. One modification I made was to extend the pipe a bit lower to avoid splashing, however a bucket could be placed higher to the same effect. Folding this table is a breeze once you have done it a few times and it fits perfectly between the bench seat and table in our dinette area for transportation. Out of all the options I have seen this is by far the best and most practical design and looking forward to using this for all our future trips ahead!
