AWT Sidekick?

Anyone have any experience with these?  Just finished building my one arm bandit table, which is on casters like everything in my shop, and I would love to use something like this instead of building a counterweight system up off the back of the table.  Any idea if it would hold up the weight of a 58x46 frame?  I will probably order one and try it out anyway, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Any issues at all?  How large are the frames you're using?

There are a few on the market. Not always meant for real large screens, maybe 23X31 max.
Maybe throw a beefed up do it yourselfer mimosa spring on it if needed.

Had to respond due to the Dick Blick- haha seemed like another life it was so long ago buying supplies from
a DB store. Glad they are still around.

Edit- ha they don't have springs anymore!
