Any idea how much the following would weigh (roughly)?  I'm trying to
select a table suitable for some of these and don't want to
overencumber a table that can't take the weight.

Table 1 (in theory):
2 Apple //e's
2 pairs of 5.25" drives (one Duodisk, one pair of stand-alones)
2 ProFILE hard drives
Possibly a 13" CRT TV or color Apple II monitor, if it isn't too much
on top of the rest
Then some miscellaneous stuff like mice, joysticks, etc.

Table 2 (in theory):
2 Apple IIgs's
2 5.25" drives
2 3.5" drives
1 AppleColor RGB monitor
couple keyboards, mice
1 Mac LC 600
1 color monitor for the Mac LC 600
Possibly a 13" CRT TV, if it can go here rather than on the other
table

I'm confused - if you had a table that _couldn't_ take the weight of either (or both) of those configurations at once, that would be a sad table indeed.

I would reject any table-like furniture I wouldn't feel comfortable standing on, structurally speaking. Maybe not jumping up and down, but surely any flat surfaced-furniture should hold the weight of a grown person - which would be way more than any Apple setup would ever weigh?

I've been accused of over-engineering when I build furniture, so maybe my expectations are a little skewed...
