I have a studio apt and no counter space in my kitchenette. Would I be able to use this board securely on my fold out table without a wall to lean it

If your table is sturdy, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I've used it on my kitchen table and also on my counter. I primarily use it for working with baked goods: breads, roll cookies, etc. Good luck!

When I use mine, it never sits against the wall for support. To be honest, I'm not really sure what the top lip is for. It's the bottom lip that secures the board's place on you work surface. Hope that helps!

The question is how sturdy is your fold out table? I lean in to dough when I knead and so need a sturdy support under the board. I use mine on top of my stove without any problem.

Yes you can. There is a lip on the front of the board that will help secure it to your folding table.

If your table is sturdy i would say yes. It is not small nor is it a light weight board so you would need a stable spot for it. Hope this helps.

I haven't noticed stability problems but I do have to move the table further from the wall than I would like. So you have to consider your space requirements.

No, not very much without the board tipping over. Also, the angle of the support in back doesn't allow the board to be less upright. So if you want it to be more horizontal, this won't work for you.

yea you can work without the shelf if you want to if the holes for the shelf pins don't bother you then you're good, you can always makeshift something to cover them up. I was gonna do the same but I needed space management eh, the keyboard part you can leave out as well if you don't need it, and on the sturdy side this desk looks like is gonna be solid for years to come, again make sure you got the space cause this thing is big. The back of the board edges are not laminated but you can always laminate them, but overall its a great looking desk.

It is a very sturdy table and could be used for either of these purposes. However it doesn't fold up so you need to be able to store it flat against a wall etc.

Good question, but the answer is no. This board is so compact, it isn't built to be rack-mounted. At less than a foot deep and 10" wide, it doesn't command much table/desk space.

You would need more space than that. I have a shelf right there as well. I installed it at an angle at first, got it snug and then rotated it underhand tightened it carefully with a plier. But there is not much space to play with, they should have put the fasteners on the bottom

Not really. You could use it that way but I don't think it would hold up very well. Its very thin, there's no backing or support. I have it hanging on a wall by my desk and its great for that, but its definitely a light duty board.

Absolutely no, you don't need a wall (actually mine is not resting on a wall ). It has all the support it needs to stand by it self. Hope I helped !

I would say no unless your table is extremely low. The intent of this bench is storage.

The idea of using this board/table is to have the movable straight edge at the bottom of your page. It makes designs and plot plans much easier. If the straight edge is something you could use, great, otherwise (I suppose) it could be considered a nice slanted portable table for painting ... just remove the straight edge. I'm sure there must be something else available where you aren't paying the premium for the workings of the straight edge. (pulleys and wires on the back make it operate.)

Please do not try to fold this table and lean one side against the wall. This table comes in two equal pieces, imagine two card tables held together by a net. You see what I mean - you can't do it. M. Clancy

I have it on what would otherwise be a small 36" circular kitchen table. The table has a drop-leaf which makes it easy to back up against a wall. Tipping is not gonna happen, that would take deliberate effort. My first shipment was broken but got it re-sent no problem and there is no comparable option. Good value.

If you don't want shelves, simply don't put them in. This unit is sturdy enough it does not use the shelves to stabilize it. You can also order extra shelves. But you cannot order it without the shelves. If you have shelves you are not using, I would be interested in buying them - if I haven;t ordered them online yet. But you could also sell them on eBay. Just be sure to name it correctly so people searching will find it.

I initially tried to fit it on the bar portion of my counter which was not enough space for all four legs of the hut, but I ended up putting it onto the counter itself and it fit great there. So most countertops are pretty standard in width, so if there is no cabinets over the countertops it should fit fine. Mine was over the counter and the sink, so it was really cool to make an ice chest out of the sink. Should fit well on those fold out tables people usually have too.

It may be used in the flat position. Why couldn't you use it as an artist's table?

I do not advise using as a stand-alone unless the table is against a wall or some other sturdy surface. We use the table half folded against a wall. It has a tendency to wobble without this support because it is top heavy. We LOVE this table and use it every day.
