Contemplating something dumb - Pecos Table

I saw that table the other day in an ad and thought it was awesome until you posted the price! Yowza!! I clean fish with a Lifetime table I got at costco, was not super expensive and its height adjustable. Its not the fold out one but the small one its solid and only the legs fold out. I'm 6'3" and its nice to be able to raise it past standard height. The table is probably 5-6' long but that's a guess.

I had one similar to this, and the pegs that allow you adjust the length of the legs eventually failed, and it rocked pretty bad since it was designed to be used on level/even ground. How long/often have you used this table?

Light duty. I originally got it because we host Xmas eve at my house so its used for that but I've been using it as a cleaning table for a few years now. I've had it maybe 8+ years maybe more. Definitely light duty and I use it on my driveway so relatively level ground. It is a little top heavy so if I put it on grass it may be an issue I suppose. If you are wanting something heavy duty this ain't it but its relatively inexpensive, relatively light and portable, and relatively stable and durable. I got my dad one of those Bass Pro stations you can connect the hose to and its definitely more heavy duty but its heavy, cumbersome and not as easy to transport.

Def need something easy to move and under 25-30lbs. I don't like flimsy/wobbly tables at all, so i'm trying to steer clear of the types i've had in the past--always a broken weld, failed hinge, failed rivet, missing bolt, or rusted tube legs from the inside out.

The tables made for woodworking that fold are extremely tough. The ones with all the holes in them for bench dog clamps. Dewalt makes one, there are others as well. Not sure about adjustable legs though. That is why I like my cheapo lifetime one for cutting up elk, I can make it higher and not get a sore back. It'll support 2 elk hind quarters, so unless yiu are cleaning giant tuna or swordfish it'll support fish no problem.

... considering buying their stupid $689 table ...

For that price it must come with a pair of Van Staal titanium pliers, right? :)

Seriously though, one of the things that has made my boat build a lot more comfortable is having a solid table at the right height, so I understand where you're coming from and think it will be helpful.

Sure would be nice if it did come with the pliers lol..

Pacos makes some useful products, they are just really proud of them. I like the magnetic cooler pad and cutting board they have too --$360 for that combo lol.. It almost feels like ordering Pacos product is a dumbness test--are you dumb enough to check out or are you just dumb curious and gonna let it sit in your cart for eternity--let's find out lol. Still haven't determined just how dumb I am.

My normal strategy is to go to Louisiana with my Dad and sister once a year, take advantage of their 25 trout limit, load up the freezer.

I then release all fish in my home water for the rest of the year and don't have to worry with cleaning fish.

I have had something very similar for years. And it folds up nice and compact. It’s solid as hell and is about $600 less than that Pecos thing. 😂
I would not want it around saltwater due to rust issues though.

Have you looked at quality wood folding camp tables? Byer of Maine make some quality stuff. I was recently looking at a camp table and it rolls up into a small bag. And only weighs in at 27 pounds. Just two pounds more. Looks good enough to use around the house as well.

The Pecos is bad ass and I would be a buyer at $300 with all the accessories. But a $180 heat shield so you don’t melt your $700 plastic table. And a $130 cutting board! GTFOH👎

What is your intended purpose for this? To use when boat camping I assume.


Check this out half the weight all aluminum top with adjustable height legs. And less than their heat shield accessory 😂 Definitely small enough to fit in a hatch and also weighs in at just 12 pounds.

I just can't see see spending $689.00 on a table. You can buy 10 of these for less than 1 Pecos table. I have been using the same $67 table for over 5 years with no problems. Great table, and I don't have to screw in the legs. Or buy just one table and spend the $622.00 in savings on a very nice fly reel! lol

I was at a huge catered crawfish boil once where the caterer had a ton of normal plastic folding tables (Lifetime?) and just slipped 1 1/2 inch PCV, maybe a foot in length, over each of the table leg ends. Raised them to standing/bar height and was sturdy enough that a bunch of good ol' boys could work on some crawfish. I thought it was a genius solution.
