I love the Phil & Ted's me too, we use it weekly for all the reasons listed. However, it DOES NOT FIT ON ALL TABLES. The ubiquitous 6' Costco table and the like used at large gatherings all have ledges right on the edge more than the inches that the 'me too" allows for it's clamp. Also, when dining at someone's house with tablecloths, etc, it takes some finagling.
