    I built one of these a year or so ago and I love it.

    I did a few upgrades though.

    I put automotive carpet on the base so it can't scratch the bottom of the cabinet.
    I put t-molding on the curved edge. This prevents it from scratching the floor, and its slick enough that I can slide a machine across the floor a bit if I need to.
    I also bought a jack that has a 3/4 nut for the screw to raise and lower it. Now I just use a 3/4" socket chucked into a drill and I can raise/lower a machine in 10 seconds with 0 effort.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    I was considering that on mine, but I thought the slotting might weaken the wood too much. Instead, I tried flex seal spray, but it left streaks on tile floor, so I wouldn't recommend that.

    I like that idea.

    No issues whatsoever with it.
    Ive lifted dozens of games with it and not a single bit of fatique.
    Highly recommended.
