Folding table legs

I am trying to find some folding table legs better than the stuff at HD - I have a customer who needs 30 tables built, and while the table he has now has an HD set of legs on it, they are really crap. I'd like to upgrade a little to heavier gauge and smoother function - any ideas?????
