I was looking high and low for a free Table plugin. The one that comes with Gutenberg does not do the job well. it’s a bit limited. So i decided to try those “free”version of paid table plugin like Ninja table and tablepress. the experience is kind of awful with plenty of restrictions unless you pay. While searching for another free plugin , I came across this. I was hesitant but decided to install and give it a try. Basically does everything i want . Thanks.

All I wanted was a nice table builder that supported merging cells and adding rows and columns. This is exactly that plugin, and the HTML is lovely and clean with no nasty div soup! Great job, well done, five stars and many thanks!

As the title says, very nice work! The only improvement I can think of is to support pasting a full table at once and key inputs for adding and deleting rows/cells which would make editing large tables a lot faster and easier.

This plugin works as it should! That’s great! Though, I had some issues figuring out how to configure and style tables, the settings aren’t that intuitive and doesn’t follow the defaults for blocks. I would suggest that most options are moved to the Styles panel, and to a greater degree uses wordpress defaults (like border control).

Definitely 5 stars. Every other plugin I tried, implements premium restrictions to crucial functions, but this plugin provides professional table tools for free! The plugin is user-friendly and the table is fully customizable. The plugin does integrate well with the FSE editor (Gutenberg blocks), so I don’t have to create tables outside the editor. It is also the lightest plugin I found among all the ones I compared, so the plugin is excellent for the website’s performance, and this is not surprising, because the developers of this plugin do contribute to the WordPress core development!
