I have one also, mine works well for me. It folds up an flat for storage, but is pretty sturdy when the legs are folded out. I have not seen the Nomad, but have seen the Miller table, if the Miller table was close to the same price I would get the Miller but the Miller was over $200 when I saw it.

I bougt one of these bad boys. Only had it for a couple of weeks, so its hard to say for sure, but it is working good, the built in squaring pieces are within 1/128" according to a framing square I have laying around which itself is probably off that much. Not as solid as the Miller but for 1/4 the price?
I agree another 4 are needed for the man-cave!!!

I bought one last year, and have used it for a couple of light projects. Well worth the money, in my opinion. I store it folded. I have a much heavier table that my Dad built. However, I don't drag it out from the wall very often, because there's an anvil sitting on it.

Great value for me! Would recommend to a friend, no problem.

Sheet metal? I think not. For the $55-ish dollars I paid for it I get a bunch of use. It folds easy, is relatively light to move around and just plain does the job. Would I hammer thicker than sheet metal on it....no but it does what it's meant for. I often use it as a table to rest tools on while working on a car. Welded and grinded on it a bunch too. The tilt handles are on the weak side but when they break I'll weld on a bolt or rod.

Got one for $59. Not bad for light work and you can fold it up and put it away. Made a little better than the usual HF crap.

It kind of amazes me what kind of junk people will buy as long as it's cheap.
I bought this table at an auction. The top is 3/4" thick. 5'X5'
The whole table weighs 6 or 700 lbs.
I added the 3 point pins so I can haul it in and out of my garage easily. It's nice to be able to keep all the grinding dust and welding smoke out of the garage.
If you want to do good work, buy good tools.
I live less than a mile from Harbor Fright and never go in there.

I agree with you about buying good tools when you will get some use out of them. Learnt the hard way on my first purchases of cheap power tools and then having to step up and buy a second quality tool for twice as much. Could have saved a fair bit of money and in some cases produced a better faster quality project. On the other hand there are times when a HF tool is just the ticket. Home project where you might never use the tool again or seldom. In those cases it can pay to do it yourself with a odd tool vs. hiring it done or buying a quality tool that just sits. So, I try to judge the amount use, relative quality and price and go from there.
