If I were in the market for something like that, I'd want the front to be enclosed.
I also agree with the "A" framing idea. Seems like all the force will be pulling the stand forward.
Shoot video of you testing it!

While it may not look it, it's very stable. This isn't actually the first design I've built of this table - the last one was ... damaged ... when my 12 year old accidentally stood on the bottom shelf when he backed up and didn't notice it was in the room. (It wasn't anywhere near as sturdy as this one - as it was hand-made, from terribly unstable melamine from Home Depot - and didn't have the mortise and tenon joinery this one does.)
--- Quote from: Malenko on June 03, 2014, 07:08:09 pm ---I'd lower the bottom shelf (the one directly under where the wheel clamps on) a couple inches to make room for a console like a PS3 or XBOX360.

Now that's an idea I like! Never thought of that. (Without the wheel, it does house a keyboard and mouse nicely as well.)

--- End quote ---
Agreed. This was our "home model", so yeah, cupholders were a must for my kids.

I considered that, but if I did that, I'd want it to have the smooth, curved flow, which would mean kerf cuts... I've wanted to do that for a while now, but haven't had the time.

We'll agree to disagree. The look is part of the table's charm. (That, and when you're sitting, you can lean back like you're in a driver's seat for maximum effect! Works nicely on an Ikea Klippan sofa!)

That ... is a wonderful idea. I'll do just that!
