Where to find a non-wiggly folding table?

Where can I find a sturdy, non-wobbly folding table?

It'll will be used only to support a laptop and should not wiggle or shake as I type, as most folding tables seem prone to behaving, and should fold up and fit somewhere out of the way.

This one is a bit too big (and expensive) but is along the lines of what I mean.

This one may fit the bill. The legs are similar to an ironing board for stability.

Costco usually carries a decent selection of fairly sturdy folding tables.

Go look for folding drafting tables. They're made not to wiggle/shake, since they're especially made as a surface for drawing. Where do you live? I've gotten a table very similar to this off of craigslist for $20 before, used it very well for a year before giving it to someone else.

Seconding jjb's suggestion of the Costco tables.

They're 30 inches deep and available in 4, 6, and 8 foot lengths. and very rigid when set up.

I use an 8 footer and a 6 footer in an "L" configuration for my lavish office furniture.
