Hey everyone.
I am wondering if anyone has found a really good fold up table that is nice an high for a balloon bag so kids can walk up and grab any balloons inside the bag? I am looking for a table that goes higher than my waist but can fold up and hold my swifty bag. |

Kevin....I use a portable laptop table from Instand. I don't have a swifty bag, so my table top is probably smaller than you need. They do have larger table tops that might work. I've been using it for the past few years and it has held up really well. It has never fallen over, and I can make the table as high or low as I want. Here is the website: http://www.instand.com/.

Kevin,
Try a waiters table. Check a restaurant supply house, I use the legs for a cups and balls table and only spent about $20.00 for chrome. DAT

Unconventional as this my seem. I have used this as a table for years.

Love that stand, Mark. Barry Mitchell actually has a plexiglass top that fits it to use with stage shows.

Yeah.... find a square box lid. It will do the same thing.
Got mine at office depot one of those snap together storage boxes. Laminated. $5-10 BTW depending on how large you need the table top determines your table height

Great idea, Mark! Also thanks for the link. I heard about the stand a while back, but as you know, our lowes in Florida don't really carry leaf bags. That link is perfect!

I use the InStand tables for my Magic Act. They will crumble under the weight of a fully loaded swifty bag. Not a good table for what you're after.

The biggest size table InStand has even in the heavy duty model is 15x20
Not big enough to hold a swift bag. |

David Brenion's balloon rig from what I can tell from what little I can see of it in his video's looks AWESOME! It's not a Swifty, but a custom job someone made for him. It's on casters, and from what I can tell, doesn't require banding the balloons up together and it appears that it can hold twice what a Swifty can hold. I could be wrong.
David told me that one day he might release the plans to it. I hope that day is sooner rather than later. Come on David...inquiring minds want to know...
