Yes, all the small things would be sliding around I think. (And it looks heavy). I would like to see a picture just when the box is opened, before things have been put in positions and so.
But it is practical with a bag and table in one =)

Am I the only one wondering why there are so few sponges (I bring a lot more to events) and only one brush?

Well, I know that there are some sort of inserts that she puts over both sides to secure her paints when she's packing up. I don't know if they snap in, but by the looks of the fixtures around the inside perimeter of the box, I would suppose so.
I like the idea because I hate the setup/breakdown aspect of painting, but I just don't see myself using it enough to justify the cost. Some of the power painters, I could see, but not moi. I know there's costs for manufacturing and whatnot, but I think this table would be too cost prohibitive for the average painter...and I'm haven't even gotten up to being average yet.

I think if I did similar I would just shut my paint/ brush cases/ boxes up as I do now and bag em/ pad them with my towel as I do. I wouldn't want stuff fixed in as I often get asked to do bits in situ away from my table, and also mix and match bits of kit and would want it all easily removeable.

I use a small carry-on rolling suitcase to move stuff about in anyway so its not that dissimilar. This sort of table-roller would be the same but possibly sturdier -have been thru 2 Fat Max things (handles broke, wheels broke, clips holding sections together broke) and several shopping trolleys (wheels broke, stitching gave) and am on 2nd suitcase (stitching went, zip about to go on this one). I am acreful with them - OK n HK I have no car so is a lot of long walks & lugging them up stairs, but still!

So TBH a solid wood & strong metal thing with tough wheels would be a good option. Too many concrete staircases here and too many bumpy fields in the Uk is the problem I think..
Will have a go when i am back in the UK in June.

I don't want anything heavy or too big for me to carry up stairs, lift into the car, roll across fields. Wood is just TOO heavy a material.

And I really don't have a problem opening my own kit to set-up my table, and packing it up again. The client's provide the table for me anyway.

$35 for a new rolling toolbox every 5-10 years is a much better investment to my way of thinking.
