This is NOT  a wobbly card table.
It is a strong table. It is like a strong fold up  picnic table. Because it 
folds, each section is a reinforced moulded  square, and is is much sturdier 
than a single length folding picnic  table.
I was hesitant about buying one before, as I was thinking wobbly,  but it is 


I've been using a double X keyboard stand for quite awhile.  It has  worked 
quite nicely; folds up into a very thin and portable unit, and has  adjustable 
height.  Using that, and Bill Spurlock's action shelf, I have  had plenty of 
room to work on grand piano actions, and/or store them while I  clean the 
inside or work on dampers.  This was before I went to the recent  PTG conference in 
Sacramento.
 
I happened to see a flyer flying around the convention that had pictures  and 
descriptions of this really practical looking fold-up grand action  caddy 
with wheels, built in keyglide simulators, and and a jig for  simulating string 
height.  It was designed and built by Laroy Jones.
 
I sought one out so that I could see one in the flesh.  David Anderson  had 
purchased the last one, and he was happy to show it to me.  I ordered  one a 
week later, and it got here last week.  
 
The cost is certainly more than any of the aforementioned products, but it  
seems to be that much better in terms of accuracy and ease of use than the 
other  table devices I've used in the past.  I will give a report as soon as I get 
 a chance to play with my new toy.
 
Back from the wedding and still alive(and a big thanks to all for the  
well-wishes!  It was great!),
