A long time ago, near the end of dark ages I suspect, I bought 2 CRT Sony Trinitron 21" monitors at an auction for $15 each and somehow survived. They took up so much space I could only use one at a time. Hardly had room for my keyboard.

 

I should have put handles on them and used them for exercise equipment.....dang they were heavy, thank goodness for my sturdy steel desk.

Don't mind the mess I'm cleaning up. The legs fold up on the table.

That is a 4u rack mount server lower left, Antec 1200 Desktop, my 17.3" Laptop, and my 3 27" dell ultrasharp 4k monitors.

 

Hey man.   Can you tell me if this 6 foot folding table is similar to yours in terms of dimensions?  I am going to order one very soon.  It says 180cm which is around 6 feet which is the width correct?  The height and depth is 74cm?  However, description is a bit confusing as it seem to translate

 

INSTALLED MEASUREMENTS Length: 180 cm. Height: 77 cm. Width: 71 cm.

I am located in Mexico so have to order from Amazon Mexico.  There are many 6 foot folding tables and many that are 180cm, some of the other 2 dimensions of height and width seem to be different?  They are all around 180cm wide but do I have to make sure it's at least xx cm for the depth and height?  Depth is most important here because I want the monitors further back right since I don't want to sit too close to it?  The other thing is if the height is too high or low, isn't that going to be an issue?  I am using a a regular chair but will most likely buy a computer chair after this.

 

 

Anyone here could tell me if the link I posted is good enough for me?  If you google 6 foot folding table on amazon mexico, there are lots of options but this seem to have more sold compared to others?  There is a home depot here as well and they sell it and I think it's lifetime brand and cost a bit more but is this good enough?  Can people here give their opinions on this?  I have to order it as soon as possible.

As an ex-Caterer, I can tell you one thing.

 

The appearance of the top is what will persuade you to buy. - It's unimportant 

 

But it is the legs, and how they are attached to the top, that you should worry about

So the amazon mexico link I posted, you say that 6 foot folding table is good enough for my use then right?  Someone did comment 180cm is a bit less than 6 feet but almost all these tables seem to be 180cm where I'm located.
