Outside the Box Thinking: A One-Legged Camping Table
Uneven terrain? No problem
Like all tables, camping tables have legs. Outdoor gear brand Ruck & River got rid of the "s" in "legs" for their unusual take on the camping table.
By reducing the legs to a single stake that you drive in the ground, they've eliminated the need to compensate for uneven terrain. (Your skill in setting the table, however, will depend on your ability to determine plumb.)
A fabric hammock beneath the worksurface serves as storage. The smaller of the two metal sheets (which I assume are aluminum, as the kit is billed as "lightweight") hangs off of the side of the larger one via tabbed connectors that sit in slots. The serrations in the bottom are presumably for hanging implements. The precise functions of the strange series of cutouts in the top aren't explained; perhaps it's obvious to campers?
The table runs $80.

$80? Oh well. The addition of the hammock to a common design isn't a bad idea, but the price seems high.
One-legged camping tables are nothing new, I bought one years ago from a 'tat shop' for a couple of quid - though it was just a roughly 8"x8" square plastic top with the edge raised maybe 1/8" to stop glasses falling off.
