The designs look good. Why did you feel the need to make them heavier than
previously designed tables? Have you experience an issue with tables not
holding up to the weight of the layout? We have actually been trying to make
our tables even lighter for simple ease of setup. Of course we don't have
club members wanting to walk on our tables either.
We're actually in the process of converting our layout to use 40x40 tables
with folding legs (i hate carrying around all those loose legs) and have
worked on making them lite weight as well. The protypes worked well at the
last show.

| (...) I was one of the people advocating much lighter tables, mind you. But since we tend to do these really BIG layouts (in many cases, 90" from the outer table edge to the inner central space for many many feet) it gets hard to do the setup of the (...)
