[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by SD40T-2 First of all, it's bad to use particle board. Plywood gives smoother operation and more reliability and strength. [/quote] you are right but beggers can't be choosers when its free. i have used plywood before on my old layout mixed with this particle board. Only issues i had with the particle board was warpage due to lack of braces and supports. this particle board is atleast 10 years old and was still in great shape.right now on this table i can crawl around the table top with no bowing or flexing of the particle board. maybe someday when money permits it i'll splurge for better table top material.
