Found mine as a free giveaway on the side of the street!! Before that, I had just used a drawer in my sewing machine cabinet.
The freebie is a lot larger surface to work on. The handle makes it easy-peasy to carry. Mostly, I leave it set up on top of a wooden TV table with all the "stuff" (markers, clamps, painters' tape, flashlights, etc.) inside it. Otherwise, I have a zippered pouch I put it all in, and leave it with the drawer in the corner of a closet.
