...sorry about the abbreviation - that's Oriented Strand Board. It's
compressed wood chips and sawdust that has a generally flat orientation.
The chips are aligned in plates on top of each other in a flat plane instead
of a random assortment of chips and wood shavings. Makes things very
strong, is cheaper than regular lumber, and has tons of glue infused it
holding it all in a nice flat board structure. The price is some extra weight.

You're correct, Nicole - it's not much of a problem. I placed two of the
tables next to each other and connected overhanging road plates with small
plates, and it's a tight, cohesive unit between tables. Probably not
necessary to have spaces installed underneath.
