The table is a solid, stable, and level platform to work on. I've used mine with a Festool plunge cut track saw wtih great results. I placed a piece of heavy cardboard on it to make a simple table top as well. There are a couple of small issues that I would redesign if it was up to me to make the product a more professional. First, the folding leg locking mechanism is terribly cheap for a item in this price range. It should be made at least to the same quality as that of a folding work platform that you can buy at Home Depot for less than $40.00. Secondly, the tool tray should have a method of locking the tray in a vertical position. As it is, you have to strap it to the table frame to keep it out of the way when you try to fold the table up for transport or storage. Overall, I've enjoyed using the table and would recommend it to my friends.

Outstanding Product and Customer Service

I'd built a similar product out of 1x4s and saw horses. That took up a lot of storage space and took a half hour to set up and tear down. This product is relatively light weight (about 60 pounds), sets up and folds for storage in seconds and takes very little storage space. It was easy to assemble (the last task for my shop made saw horse system) and is very sturdy. A couple of parts were damaged in shipment and the manufacturer responded immediately with new parts. Have started to use it on a built-in dvd cabinet and it is a pure joy to use in cutting dados and drilling shelf pin holes. I highly recommend this as a portable work/assembly table.

Very strong and well thought-out transportable wor

Shipment: The table came well packed. No parts were damaged.
Initial thoughts on material quality: I was VERY happy with the feel of the parts. Even the plastic seemed close to bomber. My only worry was the supports that hold the tray in place. (More on that later.)
Setup: The setup took a bit of time >1 hour. All parts went together just as described and expected. I did NOT have any trouble over-torquing the screws that hold on the plastic side plates. As I was putting on the knobs used to modify the level of the feet, I discovered that one of the set screws was wobbling around in the plastic. (More on this later.) When I installed the tray I was NOT impressed with the supports for the tray. They seemed flimsy and not well constructed.
Contacting Benchmark: I was shocked that after an initial message was left that the owner and creator of the table called me personally. I shared with him the problem that I had with the knob and he was VERY accommodating. He told me that every-now-and-then he came across such an issue. He also told me that he was sending out NEW legs and NEW side pieces and NEW tray supports for the table at NO charge. I was impressed with his level of commitment to the customer.
Final thoughts: The table is VERY expensive. But I have to say it is also very well-made. It is a very solid table. I think with the new modifications the table will be something that can be used for generations. I do however have one major concern regarding the table. I spent a good bit of time working with the table and found that if I press very hard on the very edges of the side rails (maybe while drilling) the table will actually TILT due to the fact that the feet are NOT at the outer-most part of the legs. To understand what I mean look at the rounded corners on each leg. This might pose a problem. A simple solution would be to install another aluminium piece just below the plastic leg support. The table IS also pretty heavy but, for the stability, it is worth it.
I would purchase this table again and will recommend it to people but the tipping of the table should be remedied. Having spoken to the owner and understanding his commitment to the product, I believe that this table could become THE job site or mobile work table in the future.
