Review on Camp Chef Sherpa Camp Table and Organizer, 27x17 inch Table Top, 28 inch Table Height by Kenneth Bryan

I was really excited to get this. I love to cook and I have so many camping supplies it's impractical to keep them in boxes. I thought how great it would be if I could have a portable item with separate compartments for different things like all the dishes, all the bowls, all the cleaning supplies, etc. Well, the product is pretty high quality/well made, although I have one thing to say about it below. The main problem: it is difficult to assemble, and the instructions do not help. I spent a lot of time (>1 hour) putting it together the first time only to realize I was wrong. You can't just take a piece off and fix it. It's one big interconnected mess. So I had to disassemble the whole thing. I stopped and took a deep breath before starting again. It took me quite a long time (another hour) to pull myself together the second time around. Even after doing that, I still noticed that some of the brackets went wrong. It's a little crooked, but at this point I was fed up with the time already wasted and didn't want to completely disassemble and redo it a third time. It works, so it stays wrong. The main problem is that most plastic brackets look very similar. BUT they are slightly different. And the instructions don't clearly state what the difference is and which ones go with which particular corner. Yes, you can figure it out through "trial and error" (or maybe head held high, you look at them very carefully at the beginning and you get it now), but at this point (in a few hours) you feel like you can throwing things in the trash. From "overarousal" to "what a pain". Another design comment that I see as a downside is that the zipper on the front door is difficult to get around the corners. That's partly because it's tightened and mine is a little crooked, but I don't think that's the reason. I just think the design is too tight or the angle of the corner is too sharp for the zipper to get through. You really have to make an effort to get around the corners. Doors should open easily. So it's a nice "concept". CampChef: Please clarify your instructions and look at the door zips.
