I've had these and given them away. They work great as a workbench with handy clamping ability, but are kind of a drag to set up and take down, so I found that I just kept them set up - taking up valuable floor space in the shop, which sort of defeats the purpose.

I've found other, easier, portable options, for when I need to work somewhere else.
Worthines is relative to the user. But to your point, it's a portable work bench w/ clamps for when you can't take your fixed workbench with you. Some say the build quality is not as heavy-duty as the original model from 30-40 years ago, but what is nowadays? It still serves a valuable purpose.
I just got the Keter Folding Work Table — 750-Lb. Capacity with Extendable Legs, Model# 17209954 for 100 bucks after using the Spend $100+ and Get $20 Off Orders with Northern Tool Promo Code

Seems like a big upgrade over this one

I have my table saw and some other bigger pieces of equipment in my garage and a "fine" woodworking shop in a shed in my backyard. I keep this permanently up in my shed and it's very handy.

I had something similar. This one seems to be a little better, the one I had had Mdf wood top, and after a freak rain during a project, it swelled up. I think from the picture this may be plywood which is better.

Also the whole thing was hard to open and close due to the tightness of the joints. Had to oil it, but I don't like oil and grease around certain type of jobs.

For people asking about alternatives, the Worx Pegasus and the Kreg Mobile Project Center are both great options. I have both and am very happy them. Worx is cheaper and goes on sale frequently. The Kreg is nice if you have other Kreg items as they can integrate. Both of those table ares quick to open and close so its not a hassle to actually store them when not in use.

I have this as well. My top boards are solid wood so it clamps decently. But it's really short. I don't really like it but Its ok for what it is. Prolly not worth more than 30 imo.

For portability, I either just use sawhorses or a Husky/Keter/Hart portable workbench with integratable clamps similar to this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky.../205887786 (mainly because I found a great deal on them, but they suit my purposes well)

Though lots of people really like this other Keter design that frequently hits the front page here: https://www.northerntool.com/shop..._200803851

(Note: links above aren't necessarily deals, just other options to look at)

It's okay. I have one and I ultimately wish I would have just not got that one and instead saved for a Kreg one or something. If you NEED one, just set up a couple of saw horses and a piece of plywood and use some clamps to hold stuff down.
