So before the phone show we hit up the MSU Surplus store,  Well I scored this folding monstrosity for 10 dollars,  heavy duty casters  6ft long 30 inches deep.   This is one heck of a workbench.   Going to use it for phones, building my step switch and working on old computers.

That's pretty awesome.   How compact is it folded up?

About 5ft high folded up and about a foot and a half wide.  Rolls right out of sight if you need a quick bench.

Wow, that looks really nice. I like the double decker, so you can place your solvents on top, etc. You could also put a workshop monitor on it, and slide the keyboard under.

Is it good quality? Do the wheels lock well?

Wheels lock great,  i could put a monitor on it,  but my asterisk server will sit nicely on the bottom shelf out of the way.  Thank god for SSH connections for remote access.   I also plan to mount my Panasonic 308 above it,  and eventually my step switch once I get it fully operational.

Just looking through more pictures, are these your phones? Or is the bench from another collector, as it makes a good display table, as well.
