I reside in Maine and know Tony personally. He has a great reputation in the state so I am sure he would stand behind the product. I know the tables are sturdy as I have seen them at local shows. I don't know about the other brands. I bought a '80's cabinet second hand (frugality is rampant in ME!!) that works great for me with a motorized shelf so I can change outmachines and always have an ergonomically correct setting. Good luck with your decision.
