I have used a fold up black and decker workmate with a lee pro 1000 and it's completely workable for pistol cartridges. If you are going to reload rifle rounds you'll need something pretty solid.
Jim, where should I look for one of those? I need one for my grinder!http://www.redmondmachinery.com/browse.cfm/4,2.html
Believe it or not, these are way more stable than any kitchen table and they're available used for next to nothing if you know where to look.

EC, is that a case trimmer next to the arbor press?
If space is really a problem you could try the Lee hand held press, as shown here. I have never owned or used this. I have a mental picture of mashed fingers or hernia surgery....
I wonder if anyone here has ever actually used one? I'd be curious as to how effective it actually is.
I bought a small stand for a single stage press years ago from Midway. I use it for pistol cartridges and occasionally for 5.56. Not sure if they still carry them but it works pretty good considering what it is. www.midwayusa.com
I have that press and it works well.
The fired primers are ejected into a smallish cavity in the ram that fills up fast.
I decap with another lee tool before sizing.
If you don't put your finger over the stop that projects from the handle, you won't smash yur fingers. If you do, you won't do it twice.
