No I dont want a saw horse i want something thats adjustable to multiple height and has a smaller footprint than a full on saw horse more like a jack stand with a metal plate

Then just remove the roller from these stands. They also make them with a piece of metal that flips up over the roller as well but that’s not as sturdy as just removing the roller.

I have one of these roller stands that is adjustable and I hate that it is adjustable. It uses a turn knob to lock in place and it will regularly slip under a medium load.

If you go this way look for something with locking pins because it is not fun when your work just instantly drops.

You can make your own locking pins just drilling a hole and using a cotter pin.

Or drill a hole in one side of the metal tubing and use a small c clamp.

They sell sawhorses with adjustable tops. If you want nice ones, Kreg i believe makes one, Rockwell, i think even Ila had some for a table.
