Hi Eric, From what I saw, the pin is a way to set the table to different
heights, which would be nice. But I would like to find a way to lock it
for traveling without having to reach under and turn the knob under there.
I don't see how a person with large hands can even do so. Perhaps with the
pin, it can be set at a higher level, and then lock with the screw?
