The Versatile Veteran

Sometimes, you need a player who can fill in again and again and again. Like this DIY collapsible table from @lifeonsummerlin, these players look good, get the job done, then pack it in for the night and do it all over again the next day. Okay, so we stretched the metaphor a little — but this collapsible table is the real deal.
