[Test-Equipment] Looking for test bench ideas

[k6xyz]

That's what I was thinking too......
I KNOW my stuff weighs a LOT more than that.

I use banquet tables that have a composite wood top to avoid equipment
alignment problems.

I just looked ant the Jerker stuff and my gear would break that thing.
Honestly, I haven't seen anything in an IKEA store yet that I would buy.
Pretty low quality.

The IKEA website says the max load for Jerker is 165 lbs.  Might be a
problem considering the equipment he has.
