Which is better for a family camping trip?

The 4FT set. It seats four people at one table and has an umbrella hole, while the Portal table has no seats and a 60 lb limit.

Is the Portal table worth saving $16?

Only if you already own camp chairs and want a small, tall table. Otherwise the 4FT set does more for the money.

Which holds more weight?

The 4FT set: 66 lb on the table and 220 lb per seat. The Portal table is rated 60 lb.

Which is easier to carry?

The 4FT set folds into a 34 x 4 x 13 in suitcase with a handle at 16 lb. Portal does not list a folded size or weight, so check before buying.

Can I use an umbrella with either?

Only the 4FT set has a 1 inch center umbrella hole. The Portal table has none.
