Layout on wheels?

My 6' x 10' table layout is mounted on wheels, with legs on all four corners and two in the middle. I made the four by four inch-square legs by screwing 2x4s together, with 2 inch appliance-type rubbber caster wheels mounted on the bottom. I used the kind with wheel locks on the four corners so the layout wouldn't move unexpectedly. I think if your legs are sufficiently cross-braced, you should have no problems. It does make it handy to move the layout if need be, such as giving the furnace repairman room to work, although I've not had too many occasions where it's had to be moved out of the way.
