I like the idea of the adjustable height.
I must look at the feasibility, of possibly adding a threaded something =
to the bottom that will accept the threaded glides.
Something else to add to things to do list.:-)
I imagine we all have a long list, of round tuits.

  About 20 years ago, I ordered a 'folding table' made out of aluminum, =
with wheels, from a specialist in wheel chairs.
  I gave them some specific measures and to this day I greatly enjoy =
this neat regulation help.
  I had them make it so, that it would be approximately as high as the =
key bed of a grand piano.
  It is thus very easy to pull the action onto this 'table', without =
having to lift the action.
  I use this table mainly to temporarily store the action, and to do =
technical work which does not require the stability of the keybed, such =
as positioning wippens, positioning back checks (bending wires etc) and =
positioning jacks.
  When I don't use that very handy table, my colleagues in the work =
place use it all the time to put whatever stuff on it they are busy =
with.
  It shows clearly that these kind of trolleys or moveable work =
platforms are indispensable.

    What's the brand, John?  I had been thinking of purchasing one I saw =
at Wal-mart for $45.00  Hmm, I think it's made for camping, folds in =
half with a handle for carrying, but only five feet long (space is =
sometimes a problem, but 5 feet would do it).  It looked pretty sturdy =
in the picture (not one of those light weight, flimsy things).  I had =
just said to my husband that I thought I'd go buy it, take it home, get =
it out of the box and see if it was good enough.  If not, back it goes!

    I had seen these foldable tables before, and always thought that one =
might be a good thing to have.
    Well they went on sale, about $60 Cdn, and I purchased one.
    It folds in half, and has a handle.
    I took one to a house, set it up on a drop cloth. I was able to =
remove the action from the piano, to do some work on it, without having =
to worry about scratching the customers furniture.
    It seems to be fairly sturdy, and is 72" X 36" when opened.

    I should have bought one years ago.
