I posted a piece on my blog on building an easy to set up and break-down product shooting table.

It consists of a hollow core door cut in two different sized pieces, foldable sawhorses and a couple of heavy duty right angle clamps. There are photos posted of the one bedroom apartment living room without the table and with the table in place. Also brands and prices for the required items are also posted. When the set is broken down it can be stored flat under a bed or standing in a closet where is is only about 8" deep. The working surface is 43" for the foreground flat and 32" for the background vertical. Total cost of making the set-up was just over $100.

If you think you may be interested in the set-up, I invite you to view the article at www.foto-gizmo.blogspot.com (external link)

Personally I would also add to that an open back frame as well as the current solid back. This way you could clamp lights and such for shoot-through while also laying the back wall close to the stand.
