As I said, it's only a 3' x 5' top, and if kiln dried 2x4s, it's easily movable.
But even if not, one could always assemble it upside down and then flip it upright.



About 75lbs. Not too bad.



These smaller thinner maple slabs are a little heavier :

Yes, heavier. But VERY expensive. 2' x 6' x 1.75" equals about 24 board feet. $329 divided by 24 equals $13.71 per board foot. I don't know what Cocobolo or Teak cost, but I bet they are pretty close to $13.71 per board foot.
