Is it worth the money?

I dont have any personal experience but judging by the picture, its not. Any thing with creases is going to be a problem. For $102 build your own. Just my opinion.

Someone here got one, TenPercenter if I remember correctly. He spoke well of it. One of the big box stores carries these now I think, you might save a few bucks if you look around.

Yeah, I bought two of them. Long story short: I'd build your own if you asked me right now. The cup holders are already falling out, and the vinyl is coming unglued. I've used them for three sessions, and travel was involved all three times. They are not holding up well.

I build my own version for about $50. Took a sheet of 3/4" ply and had the Home Depot guy rip it to 44" and then cut 3 pieces 28" wide from that. End up with 3 28"x44" pieces. Rounded two of them off with 22" radius arc to make the ends. When assembled, the make a 84" x 44" table top 3 pieces. The pieces are joined by a technique called dowelling, 5/16" holes 1" deep are drilled lined up on the adjacent edges and joined with a 2" dowel. I used one dowel every 7" starting/ending 1" from the sides.
3 yards of headliner cut to size on top, and fabric of your choice over that. I didn't glue the foam or fabric down, but I did hem the fabric all the way around and put through there a cord with a stop on it. Pull it tight like your sweat pants waistband, it works great. When I'm done, fold up the fabric, roll up the headliner, and break down the table. I set it on a banquet table 30" X 72" with a length of non-skid shelf liner to prevent slipping. I took pictures to show more details but I haven't uploaded them yet...
