When folding down one side of the table to put it back to the other side with the net already on, can you put it back easily w/o scratching the table?

That depends on where you put the net. It is held in place by a spring loaded clamp on each side. If the clamps are completely on one half of the table and not the crack between them, then you could easily fold up one half without scratching anything. So, the short answer is "yes".

If you keep the table completely folded, you could sort-of put each person at the short edge (i.e. not where the folded leaves are) but the structure of the table is such that your feet and chair would be hindered by the wood across the bottom. You can only have it totally folded or totally open- because you have to turn the top 90 degrees to keep the leaves, either they are both up or both down. So you can do 2 but not with a lot of comfort, and you would HAVE to be across from each other.

Yes, it folds flat easily - just would need to have a ledge to rest it on. The connecting material between the two sides of the board is a softer material and we usually only used it flat.

Yes..especially once the netting is attached. Mine is easily pushed into proper shape and generally stays that way while in use, however, particularly if it is staked down. It is an annoyance more than anything and I haven't noticed it affecting the performance.

Folded will not be ideal. There will be no space under the table for your legs when folded.

Yes. It folds all the way back so it can lay flat. Also has one flap so it can sit on table at a slight angle.

It scratches pretty easily. After 1 party, there are a lot of little scratches on the table. This can be solved with a small table cloth or glass on the surface. We don't really care about that, because we bought them to be pub tables, not works of art.

Not really. The folds help the mat stay rolled when you travel with it. But it has never been a problem when lying flat on the table

Please do not try to fold this table and lean one side against the wall. This table comes in two equal pieces, imagine two card tables held together by a net. You see what I mean - you can't do it. M. Clancy

I have never had a problem with opening my net. To secure it to the ground I have been using weights in the convenient pockets in the front and back corners of the net. The instructions for folding it up are on the he upper part of a the net. The net normally springs to a semi open position and all that needs to be done is to spread the outside parts of the net to their maximum distance. I hope this was helpful as I find my net extremely easy to use.

The table does not fold up unless you take the screws out again. Not advisable too often, it will strip the holes.

Very honestly I would recommend finding a spot and not folding it up as it is a bit difficult to set up to begin with. Just my opinion, it does require a good bit of strength to fold out and fold up again. My second recommendation would be to have someone to help you. Franklin

I leave mine assembled, haven't tried to fold it up, but I think you only would have to remove one pin to fold it back to its original position.

Nope. Doesn't work. I tried it. You have to take the fleece off in order to fold up the table.

I think the cover would be too snug with the table folded but i havent tried it.

The folding leg is narrow, so it just bifurcates the seating position. I suppose that if you whipped up quickly in just the right way, you could cause it to swing to the side, allowing the top to drop (on that side). If I used it as a seating table a lot, I'd possibly put in a small latch or something. But it's comfortable enough.

Thanks for considering STIGA! Underneath the table are clips that the legs snap into whenever the table is folded to hold them in place. Hope this helps! STIGA
