Abstract: A portable work station having legs, a central storage compartment, and a work platform. The legs are telescopically adjustable, permitting the overall length of the legs to be changed. Each leg is pivotally connected to a respective side of the central storage compartment so that each leg is movable with respect to the central storage compartment into an open position forming an A-frame with the central storage compartment at the apex of the A-frame. A work platform is pivotally connected to one of the legs and movable entirely on one side of the A-frame from a folded position to a working position so that the work platform is disposed on one side of the central storage compartment. A storage device can be attached to the other leg, and can act as a counterbalance to the work platform to enhance the stability of the workstation.
