The Tri-Function Pedestal stand is very good. It was easy to assemble and construction seems good. I have another stand that only has the roller which doesn’t work the best with the table saw. Having the ball bearings and roller options make this much more versatile. The delivery from Home Depot was very timely and I was able to use it that same day. So far I’ve used all three aspects and each have worked effectively. Overall, a great product that I would recommend to others.

Nicer than expected. I’ve had several similar stands over the years in my workshop. These have a few features that make them pretty nice for the price. The #1 issue for stands like these are they slip unless you crank down on them and cranking down on them usually breaks the handle eventually. These stands have a tapered shaft meaning that applying weight to the top makes them tighter. This means you don’t have to crank down super hard to get them to stay at the right height. The mechanism to flip the tops is more simplistic than some of the other multi-top stands, but that may be an advantage. It is pretty no fuss. There’s nothing to loosen, tighten or break when you switch.Setting them up is fairly easy, just a few parts and bolts to put together. The instructions were not the clearest, but there are only a few pieces so it’s pretty straightforward to do even if you manage to mix it all up!

Product requires assembly, height adjustment is sticky tight requiring down pressure on legs. The plus is the non roller plate that rotates up to give a more stationary holding point. Bora makes some creative products but this is average in performance. I would have chosen “maybe” for recommend if the choice was available.

easy to assemble, very stable, easy to adjust height, well designed. the powder coating is strong and attractive. very intuitive to put together. the directions provided are wordy and awkward. it is much easier to assemble than the directions would suggest

These stands provide solid support. The three-position head offers versatility for use with a variety of tools.For me, these stands are replacing two lesser roller-only stands with a single-hinged leg. I should have done the replacement long ago. The design of these stands allows for rock-solid height adjustment and solid leg stability, the two MAJOR shortcomings of stands with a single-hinged leg.. By having two hinged legs, the natural downward pressure in the open position effectively locks the legs for multi-directional use. Folding legs – nice for storage – definitely do NOT compromise stability in use. By design, the height adjustment is made even MORE solid when weight is placed on the stand. Changing from one head position to another is easy, and the head is held firmly in the selected position.The adjustable leveling cap on the leg is a nice feature to allow all four legs to contact the floor if the floor surface is irregular.Steel legs and head assembly are of heavier gauge than I was expecting. Bearings and roller are also even better than I had expected.The plastic handle on the height adjustment lever should be adequate, but given how solid all the other parts are, I’d vote for a beefier lever.In short, VERY nice stands.

Needs assembly which should be mentioned

The assembly had good instructions and went easily. I ordered two and like the ease of adjustment and compact stowing. Definitely makes running long sections of wood easier, better and can work without helper.

The rollers work smoothly and the stand is stable (on a hard floor). No complaints. I would buy it again, and I would recommend it.

They were easy to put together and work just fine. The only problem was the time it took to get them. We could have used them much earlier.
