Tailgating always sounds like a good time until you get to the parking lot of the stadium, set up, and realize you could use more table space. Even worse is when you prep and pack so meticulously but you accidentally leave what could be a makeshift table (think a plank of wooden supported by two coolers) to hang out in the garage. Aldi‘s Crane 4 Foot Portable Table is here to serve as the best table so that you can have the best tailgate. It gives plenty of table space for a gigantic, messy, winning spread of food and drinks.
Anyone who goes all-in on tailgating during the football season knows a table is the unsung hero of the tailgate set-up. A table lets you designate spots for food, utensils, condiments, and drinks. It prevents the chaos of everything being scattered on blankets or car hoods. A good tailgate table should also be able to score high in terms of being portable and easy to store. This beloved portable table from Aldi is returning to store locations nationwide this week for the fall sports season, according to the store’s online Weekly Ad, and it’s going to be the best $40 you spend all week.

The Crane 4 Foot Portable Table has three adjustable heights and sets up quickly and easily and folds up just the same. The aluminum frame is lightweight enough to lug around while you find a spot on the parking lot but it’s spacious and it’s sturdy enough to handle up to 100 pounds, or a lot of snacks and appetizers before the big game. Bonus points for the table’s handy carrying handle.
The table also looks like a premium furniture piece. The smooth hardwood finish on the surface of the table is sleek and timeless , and the metal detailing is a refreshing departure from the pitch black legs that affix most portable fold-out tables.
The trouble with most budget fold-out tables is they can be wobbly, unstable, and only last you a couple of uses until you have to call it quits and toss it in the garbage. The Crane 4 Foot Portable Table, on the other hand, provides a sturdy and solid dining surface at a price that’s pretty unbeatable. You don’t have to worry about your tailgate table crashing down the moment all of the food gets set up.
So, if you’re looking for some new gear to level up your tailgate season, this table is a good way to invest in quality without overspending. And if you’re not really tapped into the football season, this makes a perfect portable piece for when you go camping, host a backyard hangout, or whenever you simply need an extra table.
