High School Engineering Project

Hello! I am currently a senior in high school taking an Engineering Design class. In the course, we work on a year long Capstone project where we work towards solving a problem of our choice. My group chose to create a device to lift cafeteria tables. I am currently prototyping a full scale design of a system that utilizes pulleys with a winch to left the table. My structure is primarily made out of of 2x4 and 4x4. I am worried that this structure will be prone to tipping, so I would love any thoughts on the designs. the base is 42"x17" and stands at around 90" tall.

Small USB pop-up

This low-profile, USB-specific pop-up from Doug Mockett & Co. comes equipped with two USB-A ports and one USB-C port. UCS4 sits only 3/16 in. above the surface in the closed position, staying completely out of the way when not in use. It is available in black or white. Easy installation and a 4-ft. power cord makes the unit ready to plug and play, the company says.
