TLGREEN Multifunctional Folding Work Table, 7 in 1 Work Benches for Garage, as Portable Workbench, Sawhorse, Scaffold, Platform, Car Creeper, Dolly and Hand Truck, with 4 Wheels

A week with a 7-in-1: how the TLGREEN folding work table actually performs

On a recent week of mixed tasks—hanging cabinets, cutting trim, waxing an SUV, and shuttling boxes—I put the TLGREEN folding work table through every one of its seven modes. It promises a lot for a single piece of kit: workbench, sawhorse, scaffold, platform, car creeper, dolly, and hand truck. After living with it in a real shop and driveway, I have a clear sense of where it shines, where it compromises, and who it’s best for.

Setup, build, and first impressions

Out of the box, the unit folds and unfolds without tools. The frame is a blend of aluminum legs and a steel substructure, with a plastic tabletop. The table has two working heights: about 31.5 inches for bench/sawhorse mode and 20.5 inches for platform/scaffold mode. The legs lock securely, and the folding joints have positive stops that inspire confidence. Fit and finish are better than I expected at this price: no loose rivets, no wobbly joints on my sample, and the latches engaged cleanly.

It’s not light. The upside is stability; the downside is that you’ll feel it when carrying it up stairs. Thankfully, the integrated handle and towing hole do help, and the folded package is compact enough to live behind a shop door or in the corner of a garage.

The four included wheels are heavy-duty, two with effective brakes. The “self-adjusting” feet provide decent compliance on uneven slabs and didn’t mar finished floors in my tests.

Workbench and sawhorse mode

As a bench, the surface is wide enough for most medium-size tasks. The plastic top is easy to clean—paint drips scrape off without fuss—but it also means you should avoid heavy hammering or high-heat work directly on the surface. The integrated clamp holes are genuinely useful, though you’ll need to supply your own quick clamps. I kept a couple of F-style clamps nearby and used the holes to corral small parts and secure trim for miter saw cuts.

Load-wise, the 330 lb rating for bench/sawhorse felt conservative. Plane pressure and router passes didn’t introduce noticeable bounce, and I had no racking when pushing against the front edge. If you like a dead-flat, sacrificial working surface, lay down a sheet of 1/2-inch plywood—drill a few countersunk holes and you’ve got a smoother, more rigid surface without committing to permanent mods.

As a sawhorse, a 2x plank across two units would be ideal, but a single unit handled sheet goods crosscuts in a pinch. I appreciated the leg geometry; the triangular stance feels planted even on broom-finished concrete.

Platform and scaffold mode

Drop it to the lower height and you’ve got a 20.5-inch platform for tasks like painting, installing ceiling fixtures, or detailing a vehicle roof. The platform/scaffold rating of 440 lb is generous, and I never felt uneasy standing and moving along the top. The wheel brakes must be engaged—obvious, but worth emphasizing—because the plastic surface is slick compared with wood. Work boots with decent tread solved that, and adding a strip of anti-slip tape to the top would make it safer for ladder-like use.

For waxing the top of a full-size SUV, the lower height was perfect. I could shuffle along with a buffer without stepping on and off constantly, and the table didn’t creep or rock.

Dolly and hand truck modes

These modes are where the design earns its “multifunctional” label. Converting to a dolly is quick; the frame locks into a horizontal cart that rolls smoothly on hard surfaces. For cartons, small tool chests, and stackable bins, it’s markedly better than a cheap, flat furniture dolly because the brakes stabilize the load while you position it. On rougher terrain—gravel and pavers—the wheels are small, so expect chatter and an occasional stall. This is an indoor/outdoor hard-surface mover, not a yard cart.

In hand truck mode, the handle profile feels comfortable and the center of gravity is predictable. The 330 lb rating is ambitious for most people muscling loads up a ramp; I found 200–250 lb to be the practical sweet spot if you want to maintain control without straining. The frame doesn’t twist under load, and the plates didn’t deform when shuttling a compact compressor and a stack of hardwood boards.

Car creeper mode

It’s clever: flip configurations and you’re on a creeper that’s wide, stable, and rolls in any direction. It sits a bit higher than a dedicated low-profile creeper, so you’ll lose an inch or two of undercar clearance. On a standard sedan, that meant I could comfortably slide under to drain oil and inspect skid plates, but on lower sports suspensions you may need ramps. The brakes are handy; click them on and the table won’t drift while you work.

One practical note: throw a padded mat on top to save your back and protect the plastic from sharp edges on belts, buckles, or tools.

Portability and storage

Folded, the unit slips into a narrow footprint. The handle makes a difference, especially when you’re juggling other gear. If you plan to toss it into a truck frequently, consider a soft strap to keep it cinched—while the latches stayed shut in my tests, straps are cheap insurance against accidental opening during transport.

Usability details that matter

• The detachable tool tray is more than a gimmick. Hung on the handle, it kept fasteners and a tape measure at hand, and it snaps into the tabletop when you want a cleaner footprint.
• The clamp holes are standard enough to accept common quick clamps; they also work for bench dogs with a little creativity. I’d like to see more holes, but the ones present are well placed.
• The wheel brakes engage solidly and are easy to operate with a toe. On smooth epoxy floors they held fast.
• The locking latches for mode changes are intuitive, but they can pinch if you’re careless. Gloves help the first few times while you build muscle memory.

Durability and maintenance

The steel and aluminum structure shrugged off the normal dings of a busy week. The plastic top will show scratches; functionally it doesn’t matter, and it’s easy to wipe clean. Keep the hinge points free of dust and give them a drop of dry lube periodically so they don’t bind. Because the table is often used outdoors, rinse grit from the wheels to keep the bearings rolling freely.

I did a controlled test: a 300 lb static load on the bench for an hour. No creep, no permanent deflection, and the locks released as usual. The only audible complaint was a slight creak when shifting diagonally across the top, which disappeared after I snugged a fastener on a leg brace.

Limitations and trade-offs

• Weight: it’s robust but not featherweight. If you need a grab-and-go, one-hand carry for third-floor walk-ups, this will feel burdensome.
• Surface material: the plastic top is versatile and easy to clean, but not ideal for high-impact work. A sacrificial board is a smart accessory.
• Wheel size: excellent on smooth surfaces; merely adequate on rough ground.
• Height options: two useful heights, but no micro-adjustment. If you rely on precise bench height matching, you’ll need shims or a separate bench.

Who it’s for

• Mobile trades who want to replace a small scaffold, a step platform, a compact bench, and a dolly with one item.
• DIYers short on space who value a fold-flat solution that truly covers multiple roles.
• Home mechanics who appreciate the quick swap between creeper and work platform without dedicating floor space to both.

If your work skews toward heavy metal fabrication, cabinet-grade glue-ups on a dead-flat surface, or moving very heavy loads over rough terrain, look elsewhere or supplement this with dedicated tools.

Recommendation

I recommend the TLGREEN folding work table for anyone who needs a compact, do-most-things station that transitions cleanly between bench, platform, and light material handling. It earns its keep by combining several single-purpose tools into one sturdy package, with sensible load ratings, solid locks, and straightforward setup. Pair it with a plywood topper and a couple of clamps, and you’ll extend its utility even further. The compromises—weight, plastic top, and small wheels—are sensible for what you gain in stability and versatility. For small shops, garages, and mobile crews, it’s a smart, space-saving addition that you’ll use far more often than you expect.
