I'd like to quickly build a cheap table to sit in front of my hifi rack so that I experiment with pulling my amplifier forward halfway out of my rack to give it more ventilation when in use.
The ideal size would be 435mm wide x 300mm deep x 330mm high. The weight of the amplifier to be supported is 25 kg, but a decent chunk of this would still be supported by my existing rack.
I have zero woodworking skills and my dad isn't much use either so I'm looking for the simplest solution possible!
I was thinking of sawing down an IKEA Lack table top and legs to size, but I'd need to drill new holes in the table top for two of the legs. I'm not sure how easy it is to saw or drill into sandwich(?) board or if the screws alone would be stable enough support. I could also use and perhaps add an L-bracket to each leg?
Or maybe I would be better just buying three planks of wood and making a table consisting of a top and two solid L-bracketed sides?
The LACK table appeals to me as it already has a smooth black finish so I wouldn't need to paint it to match my amp and subs.
PS - I will be lowering the height of my Mac Mini to accommodate the amp table.
