It is what it is... - Frankford Arsenal Reloading Stand 155025

This is a great product if you know what you're getting. Don't expect a heavy, all metal product that is waist high and you can use standing up. This is a 27" max height lightweight portable reloading table intended for use in small workspaces and people with limited resources on a budget. It's made of plastic, has a wide base but isn't heavy enough to keep it firmly in place on heavier magnum sized loads.

I use mine with a Lee Challenger Press with the perfect powder measure on the other side. I'm also in the habit of placing my left foot on the far side of the base to keep it sturdy while I run the press. The 2 bins they give you for placing on the sides are very handy and help increase the space by a little bit, but when I say the workspace on the table is small I'm talking 9" square.

Optics Planet has the best price on this anywhere, and while in a small townhouse with no area to set up a permanent reloading station, this works well for me. I hate having to take the time to get my things out of the closet every time I want to reload, but this stand coupled with the end half of our kitchen table works well for what I need to do. I still think the price is high for the material and weight that it is, but again if you go into it with knowledge of what it is you'll do fine.

It is NOT out of reach for small children as it is very short and intended to be used while seated so watch their fingers while you operate the press! Not speaking from experience here, I could just see some little tears flowing from failure to keep an eye out around this thing.
Pros: practical, portable, lightweight, breaks down easy
Cons: too short, small work surface, lightweight,
