Revisiting the Side Tables/Drink Carts Discussions (1 Viewer)

[EastCoastCali]

The posts regarding this seem to be pretty well dated, so I'm reviving the discussion to see if anything has popped up in the meantime.

In a perfect world I'd love to find something like the commonly used (it seems) carts linked below, but with the ability to fold. I feel like there's a bit of a market opportunity here for something similar that both folds and rolls. Short of throwing casters on a TV tray table, I see no folding options....and storage space is hard to come by at the moment. I'd love to hear if anyone's had any brilliant discoveries or custom builds since the older discussions on the topic.

Following; would be amazing to get something that folds, rolls and has cup holders... Probably a dream though.

This doesn’t fold as such, but appears to be easy to disassemble into two halves, which would allow for some more compact storage:

Also no cupholder, but adding a drop-in one could be a relatively quick and simple carpentry job.

Two sizes, one with more color options.

Not the all-in-one solution you’re looking for, but possibly a stopgap.

Here’s a basic folding side table with casters. Would again require a hack to add a drop-in cup holder. Looks a little flimsy, maybe?

Yea, yikes lol. That thing is fugly...

I appreciate the help. The fact that we have to stretch for these options or search far and wide just fuels my thoughts that there is a potential market here with currently no good contenders.

I think the problem is that the three key components (cup holder, folding, casters) are all options less likely to be found in finer furniture.

Maybe something will turn up. But my guess is that you’ll have to find the best option possible in folding tables, and then customize for casters and cup holders.

The cup holders don't concern me too much, I can always put some in and make them removeable, but yea you have a good point. bummer....

Might be a little overkill, but IKEA has some cheaper options.

Yea I saw these, kinda cool, but not so good for the space/storage issue.

Ah, sorry. Missed the folding question. Personally, I'd go for something like this folding C-Table from amazon. Then, grab some casters from Home Depot, and hole saw for drop-in cupholders.

Triton makes them. Cupholders, folding, and casters.

Those are amazing and I’m glad to see someone does, thank you. But good god, $300?!? Holy shite.

Got these at Amazon for $33 and added the cupholders. Looking forward to trying them out at the next game, but they’ll def be better than what we’ve been using

Doesn’t meet the rolling or cupholder requirements. DEFINITELY doesn’t meet the ‘furniture grade looking’ needs of most. But I’m posting this here just in case someone stumbles in and has different needs…

I was at a game a few months ago and the host had a stack of these:

They were easy to set up, easy to move, and easy enough to use! (And obviously super easy for him to store!)

Shoot you're right! Still looks great!

Care to share where you got the cup holders?
