A great table with water damage

Actually, the Hamilton is a great camping table: small pack size, a variety of layouts, the height adjustable over a wide range, all made of aluminum, it wobbles nothing more stable stand, storage space under the table for books etc., large table area and plenty of space. We ate at night without problems at the table for dinner.

The only downside: the tabletops are made of wood! So pressboard with laminated surface. If a glass of water falls or comes to the table in the rain (to happen) boils below the rim and is absorbed by the wood. The result is about 2 cm margin around the table where the wood swells and bubbles form.

A serious design flaw in my opinion, because with all types of liquids can be expected on a table.

I would buy the table again, but then I would draw a transparent silicone joint around the table before the first use. ;)
