I’ll have to get a pic of mine for you. Made out of 75x50mm angle 5mm section. Folds away with a folded size of 1m square, 80mm thick so stores quite easily, just weighty. But I’m not restricted to one position, I can move it wherever I want. Takes 100kg on the edge without issue

Any pics yet?

Tables constructed from 75x50mm x 5mm for no reason other than I had a few lengths left over. It’s square meter and is quite heavy, about 70kg but the table is assisted with gas struts off a car tailgate. I couldnt compress them with my own body weight so they make lifting the table open very easy.
It’s flat enough to do what I need to, and packs away nice and thin.

Why is this so expensive? Surely you can get something like this laser cut for much less?

here's one i did a few months ago. After years of welding on top a black and decker workmate........its a bit of a lump, but its solid, and flat and has proved to be very worth the effort :thumbup:

I make sure I got a good grip of it when I lower it.....unless it gathers momentum and takes the wall out!! I even added a small wooodworking vice to the end which Is really useful...you can just about see it in one of the pics?
I looked at hinged legs, but I just made some pins and brackets so the legs in effect just slot in? with the weight of the top, its not going anywhere.
