Should I be concerned that if a large board of any significant weight is used with these, that they will eventually cause the table to warp?

One more tip. My blade guard is secured to the table saw with 2 10mm hex screws. If yours is the same, Harborfreight.com sells a 10mm ratchet wrench (item #97260) that works like a charm.

I have both the side and outfeed support on my saw all the time and I find them invaluable. There has never been an issue with the table warping or flexing. My side support does sag noticeably as you extend it from the table even when there is no load on it (must be the angle). If you adjust it for extended height it will be higher than the table as you push it in. What I do take a narrow board 2" wide and 20" long and clamp it to the inside of the side shelf support above the 2 rods. Pull the extension out to the distance desired. Set a level reaching from the table to the side support. Adjust the clamping of the board so that it is even with the table top across its entire length. Keep in mind that you can't hang a lot of weight on this. The outfeed support is sturdier and I have had no real trouble with the sagging. Again it isn't sized to support ripping long boards. I build a 36" outfeed table for my DeWalt that attaches to the outfeed bracket easily handles 8 foot boards. If you have the room to leave your saw set up on the stand, take a look at item 92051 on Rockler.com to make your saw mobile.

I used the support to help me Rip 3/4" 4'x8' sheets of plywood. These are very heavy and the side support was very helpful.I do not feel that this support would effect the Table top in any way.

Hello, No, Definitely Not! Even though these are very well made tables, the top is made out of a very thin material. They are not made to hold lots of weight. Its not cardboard but it's not pressed/particle board either. Let me look on the box. It doesn't say, it just says that the frame is very sturdy aluminum. It will sag if you put say a 20 lb. object on it. Hope this helps.

No problem with mine; I use it frequently for those smaller pots that just won't heat on my cooktop. We've never had a waver of warping. Sounds quite unusual to me...

I would say yes. The table is pretty heavy duty. I was surprised how strong it felt every time I go to move it. Hope this helps.

This is a fairly subjective question, but I haven't had problems with these tables. It seems to be a good quality laminate.

Don't know. I bought this to use an a turntable platform. Staying true to form. No warping.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just be aware of possible warping of the 2x6's. If your bed is long, moisture could lead to crevices opening up between the boards. Also, you might have to add a few screw holes for sufficient attachment of the boards.

I've not had any problems so far. Using extremely high heat might make it warp--

They're huge, so if you get thick riser pads then yes. But if not, look forward to the wheels touching the board and not being able to move. If you get a drop through longboard, you wont have to worry about this

I bought mine a few weeks ago and there was some minor damage to the package, but not to the table inside. I think it is difficult to avoid damage when shipping such large and heavy items. I would give it a shot anyway as this is a terrific table.

Beware: While the heat out the bottom is not intense, but it is still enough to warp a plastic folding table. I've had no problems on typical wood picnic tables at campgrounds.

I'd give measurements but my boards are warped and the smallest one snapped in half on me the other day. I don't know if the absurdly dry climate i live in had anything to do with it, but all 3 of my boards started warping and cracking within a month of my receiving them.

I have not seen any of our plates warp or any indicators of such. We have 6 of them and they get put on the bottom rack of the dishwasher. Do note though, as per the instructions, we do not put them in the microwave. I haven't seen or owned the non-divided plates, but I'd imagine they're thinner than these. These are very thick, but light, and once you hold, feel and use them the first time, you instinctively know they'll last a while through much punishment (dropping, washing, banging, etc). They're definitely worth it.

I have stacked them one on top of another with the lids on but can not say long term if they warp as I did not keep them that way as I got a new entertainment center.

Casey, I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question. I bought the table last Fall. So far, I've had no problems. Have you gone to Strathwood with your question?

No, Seams won't line up with the edge of the table. It would be very noticable!!!!!

I just placed 50 lbs of dumbells on the top of it it looks fine. The piece is nicely well build. I am not sure if it will warp with time but I don't think so.
