I am a Knife Sharpener & Maker.. I set up one of my Knife making belt grinders on a table at my local Farmer's Market every Sunday.. The Plastic table I had before only lasted 3 years and a few Months and it costs about Twice as much.. This NPS Table is Sturdy and I should get many years of service out of.. Has a well thought out handle on the under side that really helps with loading it and unloading....
