Not Compatible:

Three examples of folding tables that are not compatible with Lift Your Table® folding table risers because they either have a flat bar across the bottom of the legs so no riser could go on, or the horizontal bar is so close to the ground that there is no room for a riser to go on the legs.

We DO NOT design risers for these types of folding tables (as there is no leg to go inside a riser on these styles)
