Not too shabby. Put some 3/4" ply under that and you should have a
nice rigid top.

This is the one I was thinking of, about 25 x 50 for $89.00, for some reason
I remembered it being more like $50 but apparently that's for the 15" deep
version which is too small for my purposes.
While on that page, select 'oak' and zoom in on it.
Doesn't look like oak to me--looks more like stained rubber wood
or ramin. The beech does look like beech.
After selecting oak the page does claim that it is solid Oak.
product description & measurements
Solid oak, Oil
I would guess that if it wasn't solid oak that they would be sued.
IKEA would make a pretty big target for false claims lawsuits
It doesn't say what KIND of oak.
Oak is a bit like a DOG. just because you recognize one breed doesn't
mean you recognize another. (think Jack Russel vs St Bernard)
So like, if you don't recognize what sort of dog this is:
http://slayeroffice.com/gr/javascript_the_cat.jpg
would you suppose it is some sort of dog you hadn't
seen before?
My thought exactly - many DOGS look more like that CAT than like a St
Bernard, or Lab, or Wolfhound.
But if you DO see an animal that you DO recognize as being a cat,
would you suppose it is really a dog you don't recognize?
If you only knew Jack Russels as dogs you might think a wolfhound or a
St Bernard as some kind of Horse, cow, deer, or whatever else you
might be aquainted with..
Likewise, you might think a particular oak was ash, hickory, or some
other wood - just like some mistake them for Oak.
Indeed but also irrelevant as the wood in the picture does not look
like
ask or hickory. It looks like rubber wood or ramin. I can't tell
the
difference between rubber wood or ramin, but neither looks at all
like oak, ash, chestnut or any similar wood.
