Wasted $80 on a cheap drafting table from Amazon

Bought this folding drafting table for $80 so I could work from home. The thing wobbled like crazy the second I put a straightedge on it. Tried shimming it with cardboard but it still rocked. Went back to using my kitchen counter and tossed the table after 3 days. Anyone got a brand that doesn't fall apart after a week?

Used to think cheap was fine. Man, was I wrong.

linda_dixon49, three days? That's rough. I can't believe it gave out that fast, that's almost impressive in the worst way. Guess some lessons are learned the hard way, huh? How long did you end up using the cheap one before you finally had enough?

Three days though? Did you try tightening all the bolts before you gave up on it, or was it stripped right out of the box?
