EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2024. 

Sometimes you need an extra table. You might be hosting extra friends or family for dinner or a party. Maybe you’re camping, tailgating, spending a day at the beach, going on a picnic, or hosting a garage sale. Perhaps you need an extra space to work on crafts or other projects. These are all times when a portable folding table can be useful.

Aldi sometimes sells folding tables of various types and in different sizes, including steel frame, aluminum, or plastic tables. They often appear at the discount grocery store during the summer camping and cookout months, or occasionally they show up during the leadup to holidays such as Thanksgiving that often involve large gatherings and lots of food.

Aldi recently stocked a portable table. Here’s what we know about it.

What We Know:

The Crane Portable 4′ Table (Product Code: 704351 in 2022; Product Code: 833331 in May of 2024; Product Code: 835297 in August of 2024) cost $34.99 in August of 2024, May of 2024, May of 2023, August of 2023, and August of 2022. That’s cheaper than most folding tables of a similar size on Amazon.

Crane is not a separate company but rather an Aldi private label that encompasses many outdoor and sports products.

This table is an Aldi Find, so it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and after that sells out, these tables are gone until Aldi decides to bring them back, whenever that might be. Aldi does not offer online ordering for products that aren’t in stock at your local store.

Here’s more information about the August 2024 table, according to Aldi:

• Measurements: 47.5 x 23.6 inches (that’s slightly smaller than the 2022 table, which measured 48 x 24 inches)
• Easy and quick to set up and take down
• Features a lightweight aluminum frame
• Offers three adjustable heights: 21.7 in. (55 cm), 23.6 in (60 cm), or 27.6 in (70 cm)
• Includes handy carrying handle
• Max. weight capacity: 100 lbs. (45 kg)

What We Don’t Know:

We haven’t tried this table, so we don’t know how well it works, how easily it sets up, or how sturdy it is. We also haven’t yet seen Aldi publish any information on whether this table has a warranty. We write open threads so readers can share about their experiences with Aldi products.
