I think that will do just fine for a small maltese. It has the convenience of the grooming arm, to keep the dog in place, and can be stowed away when not in use. You will have to use it on top of another sturdy table though. I know a groomer that had one of those, and she hated it...but for home use, I think it would suit your needs just fine, without having to deal with attaching an arm to a table, or storing a table and arm.
