Small Wood Fold Table

Excellent mount. Very sturdy. Would recommend placing a wood block between the table and the screws to prevent damage and even out the pressure.

Easy to fold away, small and light... just what I need

This is a perfect compliment to the monitor. The handles fold out so you can place the monitor on a table or flat surface for easy viewing if you don't have a stand. Nice soft touch handle. Really quick and easy to remove. Highly recommend!

and it is wood.

Took some time to figure out how to fold it back into a small disk, but it's all good.

I like the fold in plug, the small size and overall solid feel of its construction.

*knock on wood* so far so good.

This is a solid block of wood, does everything you'd want a block of wood to do.

I have owned a few slates, but this is my first from Birns & Sawyer, and I was quite impressed by the quality. The biggest difference is the wood, which is actual hardwood, and attractive wood at that. My other slates were made of MDF, and that's why they have work out or broken. I expect this to stand up to much abuse for a long time. The metal that hinges the two sticks together is in the center, in slots cut into the sticks. There is no wobble, and the tension can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the hinge screw. The color stripes are made of individual stripes of solid color plastic. My color is simply printed on my other slates, and that eventually wears off. One of the reviews for the stand-alone slate complains that this is a toy because it is so small. This size is called an insert slate, and it is intentionally small so it can be used for close-up insert shots. One would normally also own a full-size slate. The Elvid soft case holds the slate loosely. It has soft lining, is padded, and the exterior fabric and zipper both seem tough. There is a loop on the outside to hold a dry erase marker.

There is a surprising variety of good specimens in this small set. The wood case design and construction is perfect for safe storage and ease of slide selection. The quality of the mounting process is very good, insuring clear viewing and inspection.
