Can these be set on a table or will they collapse? And will they sit on a table?

Yes they can set on a table....they won't collapse because they come with a center pole that keeps them from doing so

This lantern in made for hanging and will not sit on a table by itself. If you want to use it on a table, you will need to create or purchase a base or stand that will accommodate the wire that goes across the top and/or bottom mouth of the shade. The rectangle-shaped wire piece holds the lamp shade open. Also, because it is paper, it is very lightweight. Unless there is something to help it to stay in one place on the table, it will roll around.

They will stand up. They are made of wires, with a central wire that holds it open with tension like a spring. They might sit on a table if you flip it upside down. Otherwise they will roll around.

I wouldn't ship them if you aren't with them to make sure it doesn't collapse on them. Very easy to collapse or fall over. This is only to be worn so you can fix or adjust

Definitely not. They will collapse. I'd say no more than 3 lbs max on top of them.

Kinda...on a table yes they could be freestanding. On carpet, with little kids, for whom this product is optimal for, it's not very stable. I guess it also depend on how thick your carpet is.

They don't collapse. For travel, you might want something like the Slappa full size case (which I use for my Beyers and Denons)... Slappa Full Sized HardBody PRO Headphone Case (SL-HP-07)

No. They look to big for use as dining set. They will not fit under the table.

No they have a threaded end that needs a nut on it. A cross piece between the legs to bolt them to would work great and help stiffen the table as another idea.

I don't reallyKnow how to answer this question except to say that mine have never collapsed & I use them all the time. The locking mechanism it's be better on these ones. When they snap shut. They stay that way until I manually unclamp them.

No, they don't collapse. I mean, I suppose they would if you jumped up and down on them, or made them climb a tall mountain without oxygen, but they're produced as rigid non-collapsing bowl-like baskets.

This is from memory, but I'd say if you set it on a table, you could press it down to about 2" without much effort. They return to their round shape fine, but they are pretty squishy. A small child can get a good grip on them.

No, unfortunately once they're assembled they should stay assembled. If you tried to take them apart they might tear or bend.

Nope. They're screwable, so you shouldn't have a problem with that. I will mention though that I found the table kind of wobbly.

If used as a toy, sure they will eventually get broken. They arrived from China on UPS without being destroyed and my son loves having them on display in his room, but does not use them as toys r throw them around. They aren't glass, which is great just in case one did end up breaking somehow. I think they are a plastic resin, which looks great and creates the accurate look to them.

They have a base that has holes in them for mounting, if you want to mount them, you can mount them in any position. Otherwise you can have them loose, for tabletop use. Word to the wise they are plastic, so mount them so they don't get bumped or ran into. My hardware store mounted them to a board, and put a chain on the board, so they do grow legs and walk off.

They are not sturdy enough. My then three year old broke every piece at least twice ( we glued them several times). I recommend getting ones that are solid pieces like plan toys furniture.

If you mean "fold easily" then yes, they slide very easily to fold. If you mean "are not steady or sturdy" then no, the tables stay steady and don't fold on their own.

I bought mine for inside use. I didn't weigh them. They're good and solid, but could certainly be used on a table I would think. I haven't used the 2 smallest ones yet. I had an immediate need for the largest one. Saucers don't come with them, so I picked up one at Lowe's to use with mine.
