Would 2400 x 25mm MDF flex if only supported at the back and ends? I
need a long bench with no legs at the front. I will be cutting it to 700

That'll be damn heavy bit of MDF... Like the skipweasel says just put
something along the front, doesn't have to be a box section just a
bit of 100x20 or similar, broad face vertical, fixed to the legs at
each end. With 2400 length I'd also stick a couple running front to
back to stop it wibbling or fix it to the top somehow along it's
length.

or a length of anle iron
