Step 2: Connecting

To connect all parts you'll use 18 hinges. Left image shows outer side of leg and right inner side of it. After connect legs to desktop with 2 hinges each.

This is one of the best ideas to make a really nice portable table. Is it as sturdy as it looks?

It is really stable. I was not sure how is it going to be when I thought of it but after making it I realise it is sturdy design. Thanks for your nice comment, do not forget to vote :)

Awesome. Well made and very well documented.

It occurs to me that you could make the top/legs interface modular with some removeable pegs, plus maybe a hook & eye bolt pair per side of each leg assembly, and thus make a desk/table/trestle as wide as you like. Maybe another leg assembly for the middle if you made a very wide top.

Again, very well done! I used to live in a studio apartment and always love to see well executed space saving projects.

Brilliant planning and working out. The next level would be to use wood hinges, instead of metal.

[sschoemann]

wood hinges would be self limiting in lifespan. Instead Complimentary colored piano hinge would be a better choice, as they would be less obtrusive and much stronger

[naopak_lik]

That is good idea. I was thinking about them but this hinges were much cheaper and I did not know how would it work. But now that I known I would spent more money on them.
