Can anyone recommend a good quality, easy to erect, stable kitchen stand?

I need to buy one but the more I look the more confused I get.
I need one large enough to take the 2 burner camping stove/grill and still have space for me to prepare food for 6 as well as somewhere to store pots and pans.
Don't need a larder as we have a seperate one.
I did see one on eBay a few weeks ago that had a lantern hook over the grill area which I thought may be useful?!

Any suggestions? Price isn't really an issue although cheaper is always good!! I'm happy to pay whatever it takes to get the right product!

Many Thanks

Concertina stands can be very heavy and awkward, I could never get on with the one we started out with.

Have also tried the alu fold out type with integral windshield, as in the post above. That one looked very nice but I still seemed to need a table to hand for food prep, dishing up etc.

My preference now for a flexible, practical set up would be for a table or two, and store pans etc underneath them in the crates they travelled in. Plus a cooker with its own or an add-on windscreen.

I do have a really neat kitchen stand which is purpose designed for suitcase stoves. I like it a lot because it does a good job with the minimum of fuss but even so it quite often stays at home if I'm just going for a weekend

Thanks for the replies everyone.
Really like the look of the Sunncamp Workstation! Loads of space for pots and pans and plenty of food preperation space for feeding the hungry mob.
Just have to persuade OH that it's an essential piece of kit I can't live without!

Yes, well spotted surfspud! I wonder if its possible to put a board or something over the washing up bowl hole, to make it more useable?

Anyone seen one up and/or folded down, to get an idea of what it would be like to pack? I'm guessing the legs fold under but the worktop stays the same length.
