Does anyone make a rolling, folding worktable that is pretty inexpensive?

The Sunex worktable is nice, but more heavy duty than I need. I'm just looking for something to organize fasteners and small car parts so they aren't all on the floor. And I need it to foldable/collapsible as I don't have space in the garage to dedicate to a worktable. Wheels are a plus so I can roll it in/out of the garage as needed. And something with greater surface area than a Black & Decker Workmate is preferred.

I figured Harbour Freight would have something like this made of the thinnest steel possible, with crappy casters and a TV-tray folding mechanism, all for $50, which would be perfect, but seems they haven't gotten around to this yet.

Here's the Sunex:

Tool carts are great, but the usual setup is for a top section that eliminates use of the lid as a temporary storage area.

Or let me throw this out to the home gamers who work on their vehicles in the driveway. How do you organize fasteners and parts for larger jobs?

Find an old tray table designed for use with a hospital bed?

That was my 1st thought. Hit up the local hospitals and see if you can find one they are trashing.

Stuff like this and the power bank that guy made from a HF side cabinet makes me wish I had a welder sometimes.

ya, hospital bedside tables are great Make sure the lift mechanism still works. I see them often at the thrift stores around here, prices are usually around $5 for a rolling model in good enough shape for garage use. You can always replace the top with a piece of lightweight plywood.
