Altra/Ameriwood Wobbly, untrusted cart
I bought this altra laptop cart as a direct replacement of another mobile laptop cart on wheels. I have several issues which I will point out here.
1. I bought from amazon warehouse deals, it was listed as "Like New" but came with damaged parts.
2. This table is EXTREMELY wobbly compared to an almost similar but older model table I had. I am going to try to come up with a brace to go from the legs to the top to help support it, but I shouldn't HAVE to. The weak spot for the wobble is the new design of how the top part mounts to the bottom h frame in the center. one post with 4 screws holding up mouse, laptop, hands leaning on front, etc.. but barely NO support. Eventually the spot welds will come apart and I guarantee you, it won't be another table bought over the internet without testing in person first.
3. The height adjustment is not designed well at all. the previoustable you could loosen a knob and get prescise height for Your situation, but with this table it is either too high or bottomed out. Very unhappy with lack of the fine tune adjustment.
4. The mouse side needs to be adjustable too, spend more on materials and make a product to be proud of Ameriwood.
I would not recommend Dorel/Ameriwood/Altra carts unless they improve stability and build quality. It just FEELS CHEAP.
