I think the casters would tear out or sag badly over time.

If I had said that, rather than giving him a better option, I'd have been accused of raining on his parade, top tanking him, making his mom and his sister cry, sending his brother to Iraq, stealing his kids' Xmas, and possibly killing his hopes and dreams.

That's why I gave him a better option rather than specifically answering his question.

It's too late now, but I wanted you to know that I voted against you in both elections.

Ha!

When people are inviting an opinion - it's not really raining on someones parade. However, when a topic is up for discussion and the only thing you bring to the topic is the negatives, and you do it consistently (say 20,000 posts) - that may be looked upon as rain.  :)

Is particle board weaker than MDF?  When I built my (Project Arcade style) upright, I just bolted the casters through the MDF base.  

In that case, there are a few pieces of MDF mounted vertically underneath the base to help keep it rigid and avoid sag.  For tearout, I suppose it's possible that the wheels could push up through the base but it seems kind of unlikely.

Substantially weaker.

BobA:
Bolting thru rather then screwing will give alot more strength to your casters.   Screws will pull out from ply or sold wood if the casters are stressed.   Solid wood with lag bolts is good.
