Dolium stainless Defender side table - specs needed

[n plus one]

Anyone got one of these they can measure up for me?

Looking to purchase but not sure i can fit one in the available spaces I have left (too much other crap to carry).

Length, width and thickness measuremts would be greatly appreciated - cant seem to find a definitive answer anywhere.

n plus one,

I got one of these a couple of months ago - the one without the sink hole - and it fits really nicely along the cargo barrier. If you put a couple of bits of contact rubber down to stop it rattling or scratching the wheel arches, it takes up no room at all.

There are wee slides you can get to fit it underneath the roofrack but I haven't bothered with these as it fits so well in the main cargo area....and if you have a gullwing window it's easy enough to get in and out.

That said, I might have a look at the roofrack slides for it....if it can be stowed up there safely and without rattling, it's got to be even easier to setup and put away.

The figures on the web page are package sizes not dimensions of the item itself.

I have seen the side tables slotted under a Wind Cheetah roof-rack.

Yeah spotted those, but (as per Karl's comment) I'm not confident that's for the actual table.

Unfortunately my storage options are tight enough that 5-10mm may make the difference between go and no go!

Bobby - thanks that's useful to know (though I'd have to relocate sobe stuff to use that space).

Could I press you to measure your table if you get the time?

According to Mulgo's website (see Wind Cheetah Land Rover Defender Side Mount Table | Buy 4x4 Land Rover Toyota Nissan Accessories and Parts Online Store | Expedition Centre Australia by Mulgo (http://www.expeditioncentre.com.au/online-store/camping/wind-cheetah-land-rover-defender-side-mount-table.html)) the table is 1150 x 600 mm. The table construction is identical to my free-stand table so is about 25 mm 'thick'. You need to be mindful that the side mounted table is inherently unstable and if you accidently knock the single leg then it will spill the load so-to-speak. Have you considered the smaller free standing table which is 1150 x 550 mm or the larger (which I have) 1150 x 750 mm?

No, but I'll check it out - thanks!

Edit: does this mean you have found the side table to be unstable (relative to other options)?

Bit concerning if so, as stability is one of the reasons that I was looking at this arrangement - the other option was the OzTent folding table.

The table has plentiful sturdiness.

I've had all the washing up, half a case of beer, cast iron pots and pans on it or hanging from it (I drilled holes in the side to put hooks into so I can drip dry stuff) and the cutlery roll too - no problems at all. Could have made it a whole case easily but it was too late ;-)

If you kick the leg away then yes, it'll collapse. Don't kick the leg away is my tip. To make it harder to do by accident, point the leg in the wheel itself rather than on the ground....or put something on the ground by the foot so you'll see it and avoid it.

Hopefully it'll be good for a case of rum tins then!

I have the Dollium bench and very happy with it. I later bought the under rack storage option. The bottom of the single leg sits against the tyre. It's only collapsed once because I didn't tighten the leg properly. The roof rack storage idea works great.

Well, I've ordered one - thanks all for the info.

Will follow up with pics once it arrives.

Sorry for the late reply, if you still need the measurements they are: 1145mm x 550mm x 26mm.

We have had one for three years, only collapsed once when the wife tightened the leg and then we put a 20lt bottle of water on the one corner.

Apart from that it is great, the attachments are pretty high, so its higher than bench top height.

I made my own table using just ply, and I made up two brackets to bolt onto the side of the car.
I have the option of either one leg or two depending on what I'm doing. The way the table clips into the car, even when there's no legs under it, it just sits there,, on a rather big lean/slope mind you, so if I did kick the leg out, I reckon I'd pretty much lose everything on it,, ;) there's another pic in my build thread.
