Looking at getting a compact table, would this be good?

The Lexan/plexiglass will generate static so I would not recommend using it as a top. Besides it scratches real easy.
Okay, scratch that idea. If I put anything on the top it will probably be a thin sheet of plywood
 
A piece of channel from top of front to bottom of back on both sides. Attached using the bolt locations from assembly will stiffin it up for when you cam down on press.
 
I use one of these:

I needed something that I could break down and stow away, that I could use for other purposes in my apartment. My trusty Lee Turret is bolted to a board that I clamp to the table. It's impressively solid, easily portable, and quick to set up or break down. I'd prefer if it was standing hight, but it's fine with a stool.

I do put my scales on a shelf on the wall where I set it up ( I use both an electronic and a beam balance), both to put them at eye level and because it's steadier.
 
Currently I have the Lee reloading stand with a LCT press on it. Works great, but I'm looking for something to clamp a powder measure to and I figured that if I'm going to get a table for a powder measure, maybe I should also consider one for mounting a press to as well, either the Lee APP press or an MEC Marksman.

I was looking online for a table under $40 because I don't want a big table and I came across this at Harbor Freight for $26:

They also have this one that fold for $18:

The one on top will be more sturdy, but the one on the bottom folds and that to me is a nice feature so when I'm done loading, I can store it easily. It would be more than adequate for mounting a measure to and maybe even using the $40 Lee "C" frame press for light duty stuff.

This person already had the idea I have, but IDK how this setup worked for him:

I have that top one. I have been trying to find it for posting in threads on some forums when people ask that same question. The flared legs make for great stability and its footprint is very small. One thing I did to not damage the top with a press over the edge, was to get a press riser from Inline Fabrication - that way all of the torque and weight sits evenly on the top and not on the edge

That raises the press up just enough to also make it comfortable using a regular desk chair
