| 1. A paint station comprising:
a work table having a top surface with a roller tray recess;
a set of first legs coupled to the work table and movable between an extended position and a retracted position;
a set of second legs fixedly coupled to the work table;
a disposable bag holder coupled to one of the worktable and the legs;
a tray received in the roller tray recess, the tray having a sloped portion extending upwardly from a paint well; and
a cover that is removably coupled to the tray, the cover including a raised portion that is disposed over the sloped portion
of the tray when the cover is coupled to the tray, the cover defining a paint roller arm aperture that extends through the
cover, wherein the raised portion is adapted to receive a paint roller of a predetermined diameter when the cover is coupled
to the tray, an end of the raised portion closest to the paint well being spaced apart from the sloped portion of the tray
by a distance that is smaller than the predetermined diameter to thereby prevent the paint roller from traveling down the
sloped portion of the tray and into the paint well when the paint roller is disposed in the cover and the cover is coupled
to the tray;
wherein the set of first legs are longer than the set of second legs, wherein positioning of the set of first legs in the
extended position is configured to position the top surface of the work table at a first elevation and wherein positioning
of the set of first legs in the retracted position so that the set of second legs support the work table is configured to
position the top surface of the work table at a second elevation that is smaller than the first elevation; and
wherein the disposable bag holder includes a pair of clips, each of the clips being configured to engage a handle of a polyethylene
“t-shirt” bag.
