Volks:

The "Blue Table" that is being sold by REI is not the exact
same item that is being sold by Wal-Mart.  The blue table
can be viewed at:

The Wal-Mart table, while nice for the price ($20), has
softwood table top 'slats' and all four legs of the table
are braced to each other (very sturdy).

YMMV
