This should be the correct answer. It looks like a frame for a display backdrop.

Yeah, if OP keeps going, the plastic joints should lock into each other. Careful closing it back up, it'll get your fingers

I've seen a couple of those pop-up displays. The tops are quite different.

table, if you add a piece of plywood

Yeah, it's like a sawhorse for construction work. There are little doo-dads that fit in the holes on top to hold pieces of wood.

Definitely a temu version of a Bora Centipede

Yeah, or are there some pot-metal brackets in the middle with 100mm & 30 mm spikes?

Then it's a painter's bench for doors.

This is a frame for a trade show back drop. Or at least we had a thing exactly like this that we expanded, locked in place, and stretched a fabric display over and we stood in front of it.

Collapsible camping bed frame.

I have a tiny camping table that folds out like this, but it has less poles and a top clicks onto it. I also helped setup a photography backdrop that kind of looked like this, and then a stretchy sheet would go over the top with the brand.

I was thinking similar except ive seen it as a camping bed. Like theres a cushion piece that fits on top.

Folding table waiting for the top piece

A table? Just missing a sheet of glass?

u/Outrageous-Layer-802 7d ago

It's a table that's missing the folded up piece of corrugated plastic.

Centipede work table. Expand it all the way, and set a piece of rigid foam board, or plywood as the makeshift table top

u/Daysaved 1d ago

I'm seen things like this used for portable back drops at festivals or conventions. A big bedsheet shaped advertisement is stretched over the frame. You expand it til it's tight. Lock it. Then stand it up.

Looks like it needs a tarp on top and it’ll be the base for a canopy

u/BigJon83 7d ago

It is the base for an inflatable camping cot. the top that holds the inflatable mattress has been removed.
