I'd have to see it to believe it Mike.  I had this thing on a tv cart, 
an el-cheepo chipboard thing with castors.  I had to put a new 1/4" 
plywood back on it early on after it wore the nail holes out in the 
original piece of 1/8" solid cardboard & it all fell apart.  I put the 
plywood on with drywall screws & they seemed to do the trick.  That and 
a yearly tightening of all those big bugle head allen screws that tried 
to hold it together.  Its still sitting on it but I haven't checked to 
see if the unheated, and well ventilated from the bottom shed its in 
now is causeing it any further damage.  When I can get the shed 
excavated back to it again that is...  I'd drag it back in and hook it 
back up to the coco in the basement, but I'm running out of basement 
too, darn it.
