Surprisingly Good Quality and Very Useful
I usually write reviews if I've owned a product for a bit and can test it's longevity. But after using this Pegasus for a couple hours I thought I'd give you my early thoughts on it.The ABS plastic is thick and feels durable. The stand is reinforced with aluminum which adds to the over structural integrity. The surface has little pockets where you can keep small items like screws or a pencil, so that's handy.The clamping system works well. At first I thought it might be kind of cumbersome, and not as versatile as Kreg's offering. But after a short time positioning a 'U' shaped 2x4 structure for sanding, I'm impressed! I included some pictures that show the piece in a few different orientations using the included clamps and dogs. The wood was stable enough where I could use a random orbital sander on the edges and faces.I like the on-board storage for everything. I don't think I'll move mine much, but it's nice to keep things together. That was something the Kreg Mobile Center lacked, which I found odd.What I don't like about the Pegasus is that the underside of the wings don't have much of a flat spot for clamping the hand clamps to it in a vertical position. But to be fair, I haven't used it in this capacity much. It might not be that much of an issue.Also, the lower folding shelf isn't especially sturdy, but neither are similar shelves on the Pegasus' competitors.Overall I really like it. It's ready to go out of the box and gives you lots of options for handling material. And everything folds up in one compact unit if you want to store it or carry it from the garage to your house to do some work there.Finally, there's a way to connect a power strip to the bottom of the Pegasus. I don't think I'll ever use that feature, but I can see how it could come in handy.I hope this was helpful! I'll likely be giving my Black and Decker Workmate to Goodwill since this is just superior to it.

Great Work Table
I purchased a Pegasus after my usual extensive pre-purchase research. Independent YouTube comparisons showed this work table to be superior to models from Keter and Kreg. It is well designed and easy to set up and use.As you can see from my photo, the Pegasus has been put to heavy use. I have my Hitachi miter saw sitting on top, with a battery-powered circular saw and framing nailer on the bottom shelf (it does bend at the hinges a bit, but supports the weight okay).I appreciate the many thoughtful ergonomic touches Worx has designed into this product, such as aluminum bar clamp rails, depressions along each side for screws, pencils, drill bits, etc. and built-in storage for the 2 supplied bar clamps. There is also a spot to attach a power strip with zip ties, which I will be doing very soon.I do have a few criticisms: The table could be a bit taller (I have chronic back pain); perhaps Worx will introduce a model that is height-adjustable at some point in the future. In addition, one of the clamps sticks (I'll be contacting Worx about that).Minor gripes aside, I strongly recommend the Worx Pegasus. It is as good as advertised--and I haven't even bought the compatible Worx sawhorse set with clamps yet.

Inept customer service and faulty quality
Decent little work table for the money while it worked. I ran into a major problem though and it’s the reason why I will never buy another Worx product. The trigger on one of the clamps broke after only a few uses so I contacted customer service to see if they would replace it. They said no. I even said I would pay for it despite it being practically new. No deal. So now I basically just have a $100 plastic folding table.

Sturdy, but some problems...
Sturdy, very easy to set up and take down, and makes quick jobs on my balcony a lot easier.That said, there are some glaring problems...The clamps are just about worthless. The rubber clamping surfaces allow for too much wiggle if you clamp too lightly. Or if you clamp down tightly, whatever you're clamping will likely want to twist from the uneven clamping force. If you plan to hold a piece very stable against this work table while sawing, you'll want a different set of clamps. Which is another problem, because the awkward shape of the edges means you'll be searching for a clean/secure location just to secure your work piece.The surface is not flat. I don't know if I'm silly for expecting it to be, but it really doesn't even approximate flat. If you're expecting to do any joinery on this, you're in for a bit of a struggle. If you're thinking of doing an glue-up of a table top, especially, it is definitely not happening.

Nice work surface, made in China not the USA as listed.
Very sturdy well made table. I needed two but for some unknown reason Amazon limited me to buying one, had to buy the second locally at a higher price.A word of clarification, the Amazon listing states country of origin USA, that is incorrect, it's made in China. I really wish Amazon would work on more accurate information in their listings.

Needs Redesign
I find this product interesting yet with some design flaws. When you read that it can carry 300 lbs on it's work table surface, that seems to be as a static mass. However, if you apply even a fraction of that in a dynamic sawing motion, for example, with a piece of wood sticking out over the edge, you quickly realize that it lacks lateral stability and vertical sturdiness on the crucial edge where that force is being exerted. The clamps may be fine for glueing or strictly power tool applications, but if you move to sawing by hand or nailing, for instance, then you see the edge bend and twist, and the aluminum clamping rail on the top start separating from the moulded plastic housing it. So it can in no way replace a solid, edge-supported worktable without carefully analyzing your actual planned usage and work methods. The aluminum struts should have come closer to both end and side edges of the work surface. This is a fairly simple redesign. The edges should have been reinforced. Another issue is vertical clamping, outside the horizontal aluminum rails. The marketing photo shows this as a possible use but when you look underneath the table surface for a safe spot to clamp, there are absolutely none. Everything is thin, extruded plastic ribs to make the top surface more rigid, and there is not a single flat surface to clamp to. The solution is to place a flat piece of wood underneath to distribute the clamping load, but you know you are taking chances, as nowhere does the manual explicitly provide for such a use or deem it safe. Fact - the table locks open but does NOT lock closed, i.e., when folded flat, which makes it trickier to handle or stand straight on its own. Solution: a bungee around the table, passing through the aluminum channels, preferably with smooth, rounded carabiners, so not to scratch the finish. Finally, the fact of being able to stow the clamps on the legs is an interesting feature, but the design of the table does not protect the ends when stowed, and they protrude from both sides when the table is folded, making it unwise to transport it without risking damage to the clamps. So I would wait for version 2 of the Pegasus to take flight if I were you.

Como de profesional
Lo compré porque yo hago muebles pequeños y todo tipo de proyectos de mejora en mi casa y a mi esposa casi le daba un infarto cuando me veía trabajando sobre alguna mesa de la casa o la de la terraza. Elegí este modelo por ser plegable ya que no tengo mucho espacio para guardar mis herramientas y tengo un buen!La caja llegó bastante maltratada pero el producto estaba intacto. No pesa y se carga con facilidad. Se abre y pliega en segundos y sin trucos. Las prensas incluidas son muy útiles pues con ellas agarro desde tiras de madera que corto con cierta circular hasta cosas pequeñas que estoy lijando.Es bastante más grande de lo que yo pensaba, muy estable y parece que aguanta mucho peso. El material es resistente y en general la construcción de buena calidad.Seguramente no es la mejor opción para un taller más en forma pero para trabajar de vez en cuando en la casa, se siente casi como de profesional.

Buen banco para DIY
Es un buen banco de trabajo para personas que somos DIYs, es de los mejores ranqueados a nivel global, si aguanta el uso Rufo aún cuando no es para proyectos que requieran mucho peso o fuerzas de palanca, si se cuida durará mucho tiempo, además de ser portátil. Lo recomiendo para quien le guste hacer manualidades y reparaciones

Just get it. You won't regret.
I bought one and used it for my inside wall garage project. I went and got another one. Out of box. Boom flip it out and ready to. Great for all projects. Hobby, Construction, make a large table in 2 seconds, etc. Comes with 2 clamps and has a great clamping system built into the table. They remove easily and have a place to put them on the legs. Folds up small and easy to store. Very sturdy and tough.I have a funny story involving these. I was doing my garage project and had improperly stacked 12 5/8 inch 4x8 sheets against the wall in garage. While installing wall plugs I heard a big boom. I had the garage door open and had a wind gust come through and all the sheets fell right on the corner of this bench. Yes it damaged the bench and I won't even ask for warranty but half the bench is still function. It broke one the legs. The force of that would have killed me or flattened any other bench if it wasn't made of steel. VERY TOUGH. I bought another one to replace it the next day.

I like this one better than the other similar units that are higher $$
The worx unit is good, just as good in many respects and I've not had any issues of instability as some have, I have to believe its about the size of the project you are using it for.Holds my projects nicely, is it as stable as other brands, I have to say yes but keep in mind the table size and project dimension when using this.I"m going to purchase a second unit as I can connect them together and I believe there are other brands that allow this as well but I've got many other worx items and trust the brand.
