Figured the hive mind on here might be able to help with this.

Looking for a portable table that has a surface area of roughly 60x60cm or bigger and can handle 70ish kg load on it without any issues. Does such a thing exist?

So far the only idea I have is the Lifetime 4ft folding table but not sure how sturdy that is

Nifty but no worktop so would need something to place on it

What's the use case?

I use one of these in the garage, though probably not suitable for hosting extra guests for dinner!

It’s to be used outside to place a pizza oven on. That looks pretty slick and might tick the boxes

If they're the ones that Costco sell then my builders have been using them for everything, I have one in my garage now as a temporary kitchen worktop.

Not sure what the maximum loading is though.
We have one of those and yep, it's pretty sturdy but annoyingly doesn't quite open out to fully horizontal so there's always a slight ridge down the middle with the two halves sloping away from each other.

Are they all like that or is mine broken?
The 4' ones are one piece, not folding.
The 4’ one that Argos are selling is seemingly a folding one. I’ve used the 6’ ones before for other things and wondered if the 4’ is durable enough

How about an Ooni foldable portable table?
70cm×58cm

It’s not rated for the weight I need as it has a limit of 50kg plus it’s rather pricey!

Have a look on ebay for commercial kitchen prep tables.

Or you can get a new one. Quality won't be as high, but certainly up to the job.
Not folding, but can be left outside if storage is the issue.

Stainless so no fire issues, adjustable legs are handy if outside etc

Folding versions too, a bit more spendy, but will last. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363869367879?_trkparms=...

These look like they will fit the bill perfectly. Cheers
