With the holidays right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start stocking up on your party hosting supplies. Two of the most important components of a successful party? The seating and the food setup. Luckily, Costco has the perfect solution for any last-minute guests, or if you’re lacking counter space for your holiday spread.

Costco’s Lifetime commercial 6-foot plastic fold-in-half tables are currently on sale for $59.99 in-store, and are a great investment if you often host family and friends during the busy holiday season, or even year-round. Available in three different colors (white, beige, and black), the tables can easily fit six adults, and rely on rust-resistant, powder-coated steel frames.

The Kitchn’s Food Editor, Patty Catalano, first took note of the steal for all of the other Costco-obsessed editors — noting that she’s had two of these versatile tables for over 10 years! She can attest to their ability to hold up for years of holiday hosting, kids’ birthday parties, and spilled food and drinks.

Not only is Costco’s hosting staple sturdy, but it also conveniently folds in half so you can easily store it away when it’s not in use. It’s multifunctional and can be used for anything from barbecues and crafting tables, to game nights and even as a laundry ironing station. The table has an auto-locking frame for stability and built-in handles for easy transport.

One of the best things about Costco is the store’s flexible return policy. And if you buy a pack of folding tables in-store or online — where they’re slightly pricier at two for $159.99 — they automatically come with a 10-year warranty, so you can rest assured that Costco’s got your back in case anything happens, or you decide you want a different color.

In case you haven’t yet committed to a Costco membership, Home Depot sells the same exact Lifetime table for $10 less in an almond shade.
