What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: dimensions appear as 7"D x 18"W x 8.5"H, 18 x 7 x 3.5 inches, and 18.8 x 7.4 x 4.1 inches, while another feature gives a 2.5-inch-thick pad and 8-inch rear and 7-inch front heights. Confirm the actual folded and assembled measurements. Customer feedback is mixed on sturdiness and reports stability and hinge-locking concerns, so verify secure setup before use and avoid assuming the advertised stability claims are established.
