I use this outdoors to hold a large drum (the percussion kind) so I need something stable, sturdy, and easily portable. This meets all those needs quite well. The legs are designed so that you can sit at one side with your knees underneath as at a desk. The glitch is that when folding or unfolding the table legs, they tend to pop out of the table top. They normally snap into place but the fit is not tight enough. This does not seem to be a problem at all when the table is in use, only when collapsing or raising it. One other thing, there are only two settings for table height, so if you need something with more variability in height, this won't work. But all in all, in terms of value for the money, it's a good deal.
