No one replied to this topic, but in case you are curious, I went ahead and ordered a children's folding table. It is 21 inches tall and 24x24. It could not fit my chessboard more perfectly. It is also the perfect height when sitting at my desk reading a chess book. The one I ordered is made by Lifetime and extremely sturdy.
I'm looking for a table for chess study, I could place it next to my desk or use it while sitting on the sofa with a book. I have a standard tournament vinyl roll up board that is 20x20 with plastic pieces. I'm a student and I live in a studio apartment. I was thinking a small folding card table or even a folding child's table would convenient. My desk is 29". I don't need any extra space to speak of on the table. Has any else tried this? What height do you think would be comfortable?
