I bought mine 3 yrs. Ago. I used it in the middle of the room without any support. It got shaky and then started leaning so bad I was afraid it would collapse (it does appear that the legs have been modified to ad some stablity). My hubby tried adding metal braces which only worked for a short time. I replaced it with two folding tables that can be set up at a nice height. I bought the tables at BJ's warehouse for around $25.00 each. I have a long one under a sunny window for my sewing machine (sometimes more than one), my ironing pad and iron and my Ott light. Also have a little flat screen TV mounted on the wall to the side.
