| name | weight | area of table top | max capacity | work height | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toughbuilt Quickset | 32 lbs | 0.64 m² (40x25") | 1000 lbs | 31" | |
| Worx Sidekick | 14 lbs | 0.37 m² (24x24") | 300 lbs | 32" | While it can be a bit unstable, this can be improved by putting weights on each leg. |
| Stanley Modular Rolling Workshop | ? | 0.13 m² (20"x10") | ? | 33" | This was manufactured in ~2000, and used a lot more metal than modern versions. |
If I can't find a second work surface that matches the Worx's 32" height, I listed a number of matching sawhorses over here.

| Black&Decker Workmate (WM125) | 15 lbs | 0.21 m² (24x13.5") | 350 lbs | 30" | Each board is 4.5" wide x 24" long. So if the vice is closed the dimensions are 24x9", and open it's 24x13.5". |
TODO — explore options that includes the Stanley minimalist sawhorses. I'm particularly interested in what a version with an ACP (aluminum composite panel) top would weigh/cost.
TODO — explore options that include the Bora Centipede that's 2x4'
