Bargain Cockpit Table

[Cloven]

If you are looking for a folding cockpit table - go to IKEA. They have just the thing which is an almost exact copy of the expensive ones you see in chandlers. OK its not teak but it is walnut - cost just £19 and its code name is HOL.

You're right, we and several friends of ours use them, they are excellent value.

It just can't be walnut, can it? The price of walnut makes teak seem like orange boxes. Hey ho, for £19 it's worth a punt for a big enough cockpit. Won't fix my leak though.

Another example of marine tag adding 200% to the price tag. My Saloon table came from B&Q and is better quality and looks than the heavyweight 'marine' table it replaced.

At the prices quoted here, most of the stuff (partic "Walnut" IKEA table) is faced MDF

Agreed. Most of the interior of my C&N 1960s vintage is solid teak. I shudder to think what it would cost to replace

It might not be walnut, but it's certainly solid something-or-other and not faced MDF!

Whist visiting Christchurch, Hants, last year I visited the large 'cheapo' shop on the corner at the river end of the main street and I found a hardwood(unknown) fold-up teak lookalike table which is perfect for 2 in the cockpit. £25. So good I went back and got another for the patio!.

I seem to have started something here but I assure that it is most definately solid hardwood timber and it says walnut on the packageing - as a Forestry graduate I know my soild timber from MDF !!

So what if its MDF ..... run a film of epoxy around the edges and seal up where water could get in and it'll last longer ...

But it\'s full of holes

Sure it looks kind of nautical but why would you want a cockpit table with holes that your salt and pepper will fall through?
