Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner! Those are pretty damn awesome and can have swivel wheels mounted on them. 

Tracy, I owe you a few beers for finding those

I think they are relatively expensive when I checked them out. One of the things I didn't like about the build was they had power strips built in but there is an on/off switch that could easily be hit inadvertently. I asked them if they had a way of covering or removing that on/off switch and they seemed open to customization or putting some type of covering over it. Other than that, there aren't many production companies that have any type of performance table at this level of quality and high dollar presentation for a DJ performer.

My eyes almost popped out of my head when I got the price sheet. Relatively expensive is a bit of an understatement. No way am I paying $5000+ for a table. I'm back on the hunt...

I keep looking at it trying to figure out how I could possibly want to invest that much. You are right though. The concept is totally cool.

Go back to barchefs.com and see if those tables fir your bill.

I'm looking to upgrade from the usual crappy 6' folding tables that get pressed into service for stage use. Given height issues and difficulty in moving them for set changes, I really want to find an extremely sturdy performance table that can be used for customized DJ or EDM musician setups that has height-adjustment abilities and has the legs on casters, allowing speedy stage changes. It would be also nice to have build-in power strips and patch bays.

Before I go to the effort of custom-building something, I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything I can buy out there that's similar to what I'm looking for?

any luck? We're rolling into the season..

I have a stainless steel table I picked up from Sams that might foot the bill, and it's only $110

What's wrong with a 4x8 deck with different sized legs?  If that's too big just rent a smaller deck.  If you're worried about lateral stability you can use a pair of decks instead of cross braces if that's easier.  This has the additional advantage of providing storage for cases, bags, towels, fans, etc. under the deck.  Wheels can also just be moving dollies or similar.  No need to make this more complicated!

You can also DIY your own platforms - if the primary use is as a table you can make it less heavy duty: http://soundforums.net/diy-audio/72-diy-mini-stage-riser-platform.html

The Leg-a-matic II makes this a pretty easy build and they are under $10 each.

Another idea if you're going to DIY route.  You can built a housing for a couple monitors while you're at it.  The one pictures is really rough (many years old and not well built in the first place) but you get the idea.

I just used some tables at a festival recently that worked great. They were stage decks with height-adjustable legs and wheels. Foolish me forgot to check and see who make them. I'm now trying to figure that out...

This is what I use to put under my console.  It is height adjustable. It folds up to a "T".   You may want to cut a piece of plyboard to use as a top and skirt it like you would do for a table.

See it in this photo.  It is under the console on the right.

I bought one of those stands once. Dropped my (admittedly very heavy coffin) coffin on it and it never actually stopped swaying back and forth. It went back to the store the same day.
