No assembly required! Overall dimensions: 14.6”W x 12.6”H x 14”D. Collapsed dimensions: 14.6”W x 5”H x 12.6”D. Top surface dimensions: 14.6”W x 13.5”D. Weight: 12 lbs.

Too heavy ... not easy lug around

Bought this to use it at a hotel gathering that didn’t have their own podium. It folds up nicely and is easy to carry. It worked great for our event and we will be using it in the future.

First, it's a nice looking piece of equipment. I got the woodgrain model. It's worth the extra few $$ in my opinion. To a man riding by on horseback, it looks like real wood.Second, it sets up and unfolds pretty easily -- unfolds almost too easily. When you get ready to fold up, you set the thing with its front skyward and its back on the table and just press upward slightly the front lip of the top section, whereupon one or both side sections come crashing down, making a big bang -- which you may not want made. I quickly learned to lift the front of the top with one hand, and control the speed of the side fold-down with the other. But bottom line, it's super easy and quick.As is set up. Set it with its back (which will be the part facing the audience) on the table), lift what will be the top part that holds your notes so that it is straight up, and fold open both sides, which click into place nicely, holding the top part up while the top part keeps the sides apart and in position.And it's fairly sturdy. I wouldn't lean on it. I don't think it would fold on you, or break -- but I've not tested it. But the bottom of the two sides and the front are the only parts in contact with the table it's sitting on, and I could see it scooting. But at 12 pounds and with pretty good engineering in the way it fits together, it's not going to fold up on you in the middle of your presentation because you bumped it, let alone because a gust of wind blew thru the roomHowever, its Achilles heel is the strap that holds it together when its folded, allowing you to carry it or store it in a smaller space than when it's unfolded. First, there is only one strap on one side, and it is a made of cloth, and it is a little longer than it should be, so it does not hold the heavy pieces together snugly. Which means there is movement, which, along with the fact that it's cloth and there is only one of them, means it is going to wear faster than it would otherwise. So while it is technically portable, when that strap breaks/wears out, it will no longer will be. And the looseness means that it doesn't feel comfortably portable when you're carrying it. Or at least it means that it didn't feel comfortably portable when I was carrying it. In fact, the last time I had to carry it from one building to another, although a very short distance, I carried it set-up; one can easily carry it that way, given where the handle is.If you don't plan to carry it much at all, I'd give it a 5. If you plan to carry it a lot, I'd give it a 3. If you plan to carry it about as much as i do, I'd give it a 4.

Looks good and I find it to be sturdy. Not flimsy as mentioned in some other reviews.

I ordered this because one of my clubs needed a podium. I thought there would be a lightweight plastic one but not any more. This was particleboard, rather thick.It arrived with a large chip broken off from apparently inadequate packaging against the rigors of shipping or perhaps, weak glue holding the particles together. It was also very heavy. If it wasn't chip-prone and so heavy perhaps my desperation for a podium would have endured the clunkyness.
