Anyone having a 5th wheel or travel trailer can always use another flat surface for their laptop, television, hobby, "stuff." For that matter, an additional work space that will gladly free up the dinding table for ... dining. The size was just right, in my case, to hold a large, heavy 17" laptop, mouse pad, coffee cup, external drive, and heavy pro DSLR camera/lens for downloading photos from camera to laptop. More than sturdy enough to bear the weight of everything without any signs of stress on the thick top wood surface or the supporting members attached to the back of a seat bench for the dining table. When the 5th wheel was in motion, we either left the table in the upright or down position. Didn't matter as both positions rode perfectly. Highly recommend this folding table ... for home, or on the road.
