A while ago I was searching for a load rated work table that would do my brewing needs (and thanks to those who gave me some great ideas!), but remain inner city friendly. Well, after a half dozen batches, the Keter table is working a treat. It costs a damn sight more in Australia than in the USA, but if you have the need for space it does the trick. I'm running my 20L BM on it, and it's a pleasure to work with every time.
The upsides being it folds flat (it's a bit fat when folded) and is rock solid when engaged correctly. The downsides being it's a bit taller than I thought (i'm 6'). Lifting the grain up through suction was [very] hard on a flat surface (i'm a step up now on an upper level bit in the garden). Also, depending on application, the BM feet are side on to the clamp channels giving a possible level issue. This isn't a massive problem, the load is spread out well though if you're unsure a sheet of marine ply etc will level it out entirely. All in all though, this is a great option (and slides under my brew table when folded keeping the wife happy!).
So if your looking for something outside the box, apartment friendly perhaps keep this in mind! I got mine from Masters delivered, and loved it the moment it arrived. Shame it doesn't have built in levels though (4 cheap bullseyes got the job done fast and cheap!).
