I have two of them, bought years ago. Actually, a different model, but close enough.
And they've been abused plenty but are still in fine condition.

A couple of suggestions:
They could be made a bit differently now but mine had 3 small hinges on each side- I replaced it with one long piano hinge (cost about $8 at Home Depot). It made it a lot stronger.

Also, mine didn't have a stop for the moving leg, so it was possible for it to swing wider than the table top, which would then collapse. That makes a really big sound. Like the kind that makes you jump 3 feet off the ground :roll: . So I screwed a little stopper to the underside of the table to make sure it doesn't happen. Again.

Just be aware that the box is heavy. Very heavy. Make sure you have help carrying it.
