IKEA cabinets strong enough?

Nice! I like that a lot. I just can’t bare to click buy on ikea cabinets…just too pricey. But I could put together a table like that in a day or so.

I like your retractable casters, too. I wonder if I couldn’t integrate a step-on lever to help raise it up.

Do you wish you’d used melamine on the top? I’m not planning on doing a lot more aluminum any time soon, but plastic wrap sure didn’t save the stock wasteboard. I’m thinking I might buy a sheet of MDF and a sheet of melamine. The scraps would be good for mold-making, anyway.
