I've had one of these tables for a couple of years. The size is ideal. The height adjustment is molded into the underside of the top. Snap one end of the sissor leg into the slot (the height is marked next to the slot) and you're good to go. Heights are convenient from putting things close to eye level while sitting or being able to get on top of the work in a lower position. Great for laptops, reading, eating... well you name it. Getting one for my daughter who steals mine (portable, light weight and easy to move) and for grandma who likes to eat her meals in the TV room. My son at college loves his too. College kids need to stay portable and this is a great tool. I rave about few things. I think this product deserves it. Make sure you get the 30x20 model. There's a slightly smaller one I do not like as well.

I have the slightly smaller version of this table (top 26" x 18"). They both have the X leg formation and fold flat nicely for storage.

I use mine for my laptop in the motorhome and it has space for that and the mouse pad too. It can be trusted not to collapse or wobble which wasn't the case with a small stand I had before. It sits very firmly on its feet. It's lightweight and slender for storing which is important in an RV.

Bought one of these at a warehouse store grand opening and wished only days later that I'd purchased two or three more. Adjustable height makes it ideal--you can use it comfortably with a folding chair, sitting on the sofa or poolside in a deck chair. The 30X20 size is large enough for use as a laptop desk and crafters will find the table large enough to have supplies handy and still have room to work. The table is sturdy enough that I even used it for my Bernina embroidery machine while my sewing room was under construction. Ideal for crafting moms who need to keep an eye on the kiddies while they're crafting or scrapbooking.

This is the good one - due to ease of setup and more height adjustments.

I have a cheapo imitation from an office supply chainstore. That one is very hard to set up - you have to force a metal tube into two crude slots molded into the underside of the tabletop. The imitation also has only two height settings. Quite a wrestling match to take down or set up - takes a *lot* of force and you can't do it in a confined space.

This Lifetime table is much easier to set up and adjust:

* You squeeze a plastic trigger to telescope the tube - and then release the trigger to snap the tube into holes in the two steel angles that reinforce the bottom of the table. Takes a little fiddling, but doesn't require much force and can be done in a tight space.

* It has four height settings - 21", 24", 26", and 28"

* Height is much easier to change once the table is up. You can reach under, squeeze the trigger, and move the telescoping tube to another pair of holes.

I have no idea why the product description doesn't mention these features.

Beware, elsewhere on Amazon there are other tables that may or may not be this same item.

I purchased this table to put my sewing machine on, and I've decided I need something bigger, maybe an actual sewing machine cabinet, but overall this is a pretty nifty thing to have.

Pros: folds up nice and small for storage, pretty sturdy for what it is, adjustable height.

Cons: a little tough to snap into place, not exactly elegant looking, you probably shouldn't set anything hot on the surface

Overall: I think it was a good purchase

This is the handiest little table. There is a smaller size but this 30x20 is great for most anything. I used it to temporarily store items while doing a kitchen remodel. It's larger than a TV tray and it has 4 height adjustments so you can change it from where it'd be in front of a sofa eating to a taller height for putting things on it from a higher place. You could use it to hold cards or a portable DVD or just as an extra table to use when serving buffet style. It's quite sturdy.

Easy to store and setup for many things around the house. Doesnt require assembly and durable material. We use it for our laptop whenever we need a quick break and it isn't always bothering because you simply put it away afterwards.

I have several of Lifetime tables but these are really handy. The price and availability is excellent throught Amazon. Hard to find on the street, (for me anyway). Make sure you check Amazon site carefully because of the same item having different prices. These tables are easily adjustable and are quite sturdy with some weight on them.

We owned one for 2 years using it as a TV tray or for our lap top. Last summer we put the table at it's shortest height and it was just right for our 3 grandchildren with their child-size chairs. We bought a 2nd. table so my husband and I could each have one. We Love This Table A Lot!

This is the second of these tables we have purchased and we really appreciate the versatility of it. The 4 or 5 levels of height adjustment make it useful for a number of applications. This was also a good price.
