Portable Stand or Table

I have done a bit of searching but didn't see too much on this topic. What are you guys using to put the Axe-GX rack on? Portable table, folding rack of some kind, or what? I have a six space rack and tried using my buddies amp stand. It kinda works, but the arms aren't long enough and doesn't balance well.

I may be searching poorly, so if anyone knows of a thread thelat discusses this already, please let me know and don't flog me too hard.
 
i usually put it on the ground.

depending on the gig, i'll have it stand facing straight up if i need access to it.

i used to use this amp stand thing, but it's more hassle than i feel it's worth, and takes up a bunch of room:

recently i bought this folding table and keep it in my car if i absolutely need some table thing, but i haven't used it yet. i have a small black sheet to cover it:

Ya know, facing up might work. One of those why didn't i think of that moments.

just be careful about heat. i'll put a rack cover on the ground perpendicular first, then sit the rack on top of that. provides a bit of clearance and air flow, and room for cables.
 
I found a Worx portable workbench that might do the trick. It says it will support up to 300 lbs and it has a 24 x 24 inch top. I am playing sitting down, at least until i get my hip replaced, and I like to have it close to where I sit.

I completely forgot that i also need to have my GR55 on top of it, and that negates the facing up idea, even though it looked like a good one at first.
 
An older version of this is what I have (on stage stands mix 400). Axe III is in a Gator 4u rack bag that sits nicely on the stand.

I put this together out of 1/2 cabinet grade plywood. To cheap to spend the money on metal to weld something up but I recently picked up a couple cheap keyboard stands I plan on building this out of. I want to add a guitar hanger on the side as well as some type of bracket to hold iMac laptop or iPad above it. This is usually behind me. Sometimes I use a 2x12 upright behind me and just set the rack on that. Depends on the room and space.

Not real sexy, but lightweight, cost-effective, portable, and plenty strong enough to hold my 4u rack:

Search Amazon for "Tablecraft 31" Double Bar Metal Folding Tray Stand"
 
I use the quicklock too usually, hard to travel with is my only gripe, it folds into a T, and is heavy. Recently I've been using a small foldable plastic table i got at homedepot, that allows me to put my rack on one side, and my guitar stand case thingy on the other, and all lids and stuff below it. I like having my guitars up where it's easier to reach. folds up nice and is light, yet sturdy enough.

Aside from the spring loaded adjustment knobs, I'm trying to tell what is different between the WS540 I posted and this one. The product pages from Quik-Lok don't help :(

It appears the WS640 may be able to be adjusted lower...

The knobs seem like something prone to break or cause injury during setup for a gig.
