I am planning on getting a new dining room table and china cabinet
and I need to know if the floor will support it. Dining room measures 12'
x 16'
Thanks for any info


If it does not support that weight properly, the house should be condemned.
All that weight can safely be put on one joist, let alone spread out over
four or five of them.
