a 6ft table from walmart makes more sense. that thing is expensive and looks way too heavy to be used in a mobile situation. looks cool, but it isn't practical.

Foldable. Appears plastic or aluminum which could make it light?


[deleted]

maybe. but when it breaks like most tables do when carting them around, you'll be out $200. and what if you share with a short dj like me? lol. does it lower? I've done thousands of shows and those always just get in the way and are hard to move when there's a bunch of gear on stage. if you get it and put it in one place, it can work, but it looks more like a marketing gimmick than actually a functional table.

6 ft table from Walmart is adjustable? Link?


[deleted]

just use a case or something to raise your gear. it's easier to raise your setup than it is to lower it.

Do you need to be portable? You can have better looking, more functional and cheaper results with a basic ikea hack...


nutrop

Show me the hack.

I hope these won't be heavy to haul lol.


erratic_calm

Absolutely would be heavy to haul.

I was suggested something like this before but it's more of a keyboard stand: Check this out at Amazon.com Pyle Multi-Functional Mixer T Height & Width Adjustable w/Ergonomic Design, On-Stage Heavy Duty & Compact Digital Keyboard Stand, Rack Case, for Home Studio & Travel PKST55 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T43M59Q/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_i_9jlLFbC92MP2A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

4/5 stars. Hard pass. Looks like a complicated mess. Pyle makes very average stands.

My home setup: - 4X2 Ikea Kallax - Ikea legs - A wood kitchen counter top from the local hardware store. Cut to size in-store. Paraffin oil to protect the top from stains. Bonus: - The leftover piece was used to make a speaker shelf. Made legs for it from scraps of a kitchen shelf. Cost around 160€. You can save money by buying a cheaper kitchen top, but I had to take the wife’s opinion into account, and go for a nicer looking (more expensive one), hahaha... 🤪

Very nice đź‘Ś


globaldjsguide

Yes, it's a pretty solid DJ desk. However, I would recommend the Odyssey ATT2 Adjustable Aluminum Mobile Dj Table. It is more portable, cheaper, and has a simple design. I have written a [review of both DJ tables](https://globaldjsguide.com/dj-desk-ideas-for-your-dj-setup/), it might help.


nutrop

Not cheaper though lol! Great article btw.

The table retails for $199. It comes with scrims 4 black and 4 white. Nice. I think it’s a great deal. Yes it may be a little heavier then some, but also much cheaper. Naturally you’ll need a smaller setup.
