I've ordered from Levenger.  Their stuff seems OK, but the table you speak
of is tricky to assemble and not as stable as I would really like.

A company called BackSaver sells a "Rolling Desk Mate" that *appears* to be
a sturdier, larger, version of the same thing.  A little more $, too.

BackSaver has an interesting catalog.  Their # is 1-800-251-2225.  Call 800
information (555-1212) to get Levenger's #.

I have not actually ordered anything from BackSaver.  Would be interested
in hearing from anyone who has.
