I'm having 'Center of Gravity' and 'logistic' concerns with the dinghy wheels as applied to a 10' tall folded table. I just can't visualize myself getting a 10' folded table through a doorway quickly and gracefully using that setup. Personally, I think Art's suggestion is the most workable: http://www.mytoolstore.com/trojan/troj009.html --Winston
