Dear Mr Dutton Thank you for your valuable feedback. Owing to the huge number of permutations of sizes, heights and colours we offer we make the majority of items to order. As the items you selected were not our stock items, your tables have been hand-made especially for you. This does impact the lead time. Regarding the folding down of the tables, you may find our How to Video useful https://www.youtube.com/v/UhnXgfaUHPc?version=3&f=user_uploads&app=youtube_gdata&rel=0&wmode=transparent
