Chrissie,
If you want a podium that will last for years and take the abuse of moving in and out of closets I would recommend talking to MAX-R. They color matched my institutions colors and created a beautiful logo. Locking doors, computer shelves, laptop rest, easy to add gooseneck microphone or microphone arm to. I got great response from my campus when we replaced our older formal wooden podium with our new Max-R version.
Thanks
Michael

Hi Chrissie-
We used Executive Wood Products:?https://executivewood.com/lecterns-and-podiums and went with “The Counselor” model. They have held up well to the wear and tear we put them through and are a good size for laptops and other presenter needs.?
We also added this product in black to add microphones more easily to them.?https://www.pulse-audio.co.uk/product/pls00424/

At the Rayburn Student Center we usually have lifted them onto our big conference room stage, with 2 or more people for safety. But last semester we have had a ramp on the backside of the stage which makes rolling things up on stage a lot easier!

Harbor Freight makes a folding ramp that will hold 500+ lbs- we have used them in the past to roll wheeled Podiums on the stage.??
