Probably OK, we're not going to be putting much if any stress on this.

I tend to agree, but then again, take a look at this pic:

I just want to be sure it won't crack on drilling and that it can't be broken
easily while people pull on it. I'd hate it to break and hurt someone.


If we didn't choose to use the higher tables, these would work fine with the
existing banquet tables, but otherwise the height difference is a pain.

Personally, I like the higher table level, so would prefer to adjust
everything else higher.

All things considered, I say that doors with sawhorses is the way to
go.


I'd prefer the higher tables as well. The "Real" Train guys tables are MUCH higher
then ours. So our 36" (or so) is a good height.
