Only complaint I have with mine is sloping either side of the fold, round things notably my X-Acto blade handle tend to side roll.
I had a small wooden drafting/hobby desk. Worked great for about 10 years. For Christmas my Wife bought me a new one. It’s 35% larger surface area and steel supports so it is very stable. Used it the first time last night working on 1/350 A-6E’s for my Vinson project.
Here is what I used for 10+ years:
Here are pictures of my new one. I like the tray in front. Very handy.
Here is one of the new large Xacto self-healing mats:

“One of those put together computer desks designed for a kids room works.”
What he said!
The Boss bought a white veneer covered particle board computer desk and matching printer table almost 30 years ago when we bought our first home. About ten years later when we bought our current home (apparently we’re moving out in pine boxes, so I’ve been told!) we bought new furniture for the office. I still use those original computer tables in the model room and they’re fantastic. It’s sturdy, has lots of storage space and it has ample construction area. For me, it’s perfect.
If you can get away without spending money on a brand new table, why not find a decent second hand table or computer table? I found mine practically for free at my workplace.
