Would storing/using this table primarily in a garage damage or cause it to warp prematurely? If so, would a table cover do much to prevent this?

M, Great Question! Unfortunately, because this table has a wooden top, this is exclusively an indoor table. As such it must be stored in a temperature controlled room to prevent warping. Storing this table in any kind of garage or covered patio is not advised as the humidity and temperature swings can cause the table to warp. Additionally, although a table cover will keep the table clean, it cannot be used to protect the table from the humidity in these spaces. If you are interested in storing a table in the garage, we would suggest considering one of our outdoor tables that has an all-weather aluminum top that will not warp in these conditions: http://www.amazon.com/STIGA-Baja-Outdoor-Table-Tennis/dp/B00428H8IS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427223641&sr=8-1&keywords=stiga+baja http://www.amazon.com/STIGA-Coronado-Outdoor-Table-Tennis/dp/B00428C42I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1427223641&sr=8-2&keywords=stiga+baja Hope this helps!

I'm not sure, however, I live in Nevada and it gets pretty hot in the Summer. I put mine under a tree and near the fence so it gets shade most of the day. It has been holding up pretty well, no warping yet.

The stuff of which this table is made is similar to cardboard, and the table is sort of hollow inside. I personally wouldn't expect it to survive well.

No the packing issue was still present when I received mine..... The trucking company basically tossed it off the truck without even telling me.... Th cardboard was basically disintegrated and all that was left was the 2 nylon straps holding the pieces together... I opened what was left and put it together and partner I will tell you it is so worth it...no damage and a great sturdy table that I use constantly....the price is what intrigued me.....I am a chef and put it in my outdoor kitchen...just perfect....I would say take the chance...you know amazon will stand behind it if damaged

If you keep it clean underneath the arms, it shouldn't damage the table at all. We absolutely LOVED this chair!!! It was perfect in our small home since we didn't have room for a full high chair and would definitely buy another one if we needed to.

The table top is not the best built. Ours has become a little loose. I wouldn't recommend putting something super heavy on.

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

It is solid wood, not laminate, so it WOULD be damaged (as any nice table would be) if you don't blot up a spill promptly. We love this little table, so don't be deterred. Keep coasters handy and put your drinks on them.

Other than keeping it on a flat surface, which I do with mine, it should not warp. I have not had that problem.

Yes, we use it like that quite often. We bought ours in 2009. It has held up beautifully for 5 years, no wood splitting or separation. We've oiled it maybe two or three times in all these years. Ours is situated under a covered outdoor patio. During the winter months, we cover it up and put in the garage. We are still very satisfied with this table.

The table is very sturdy. My only concern would be with exposure to changes of temperature as a lot of the parts are made of wood products. If the garage is insulated and remains mostly closed, without too much exposure to humidity and variations in temperature that could affect wood, it should be absolutely fine.

No never had a problem and my table is moved before and after each use. It does overhang a bit, but fence locks down w/o problem.

I've never had that problem in my 1+ years of experience with this table. It's a great table and I highly recommend it.

The only way that would happen is if it was bumped or the item on it was too heavy and the table was at a tilted angle. I've never had any mechanical issues with mine. Its a great little table!!

The table seems to have been applied with a "protective agent" similar to a varnish. It comes with a list of "dos/donts" to maintain it from scratches. My main problem with it is the weak connection between the table and the stand. It has toppled over several times! I just don't know what to do to make it stable and secure.

We have had no problems with warping. But we live in California. Not very hot or very cold area

I got mine about a year ago and it had a damaged corner. I did get a discount from Amazon due to the damage. I did not want to return it since its a heavy piece. I'm happy with the table but it was filthy and damaged
