I need to build a 9' x 3' table that can support a selves filled with gear and tools, as well as leave enough space underneath for a couch to slide under. I designed a torsion box that looks pretty good on paper, but now I'm starting to question the design and stability of the box. Could I get a second opinion and see if there's any major flaws?
The outer frame is built with 1x4 pine and the inner structure along with the skins are 1/2 MDF. I'm wondering if I can use 1/4 MDF for the top and bottom to lighten the weight of the table without compromising the strength.
