Heavy table on Target vw1 'pro'?

Add reinforcement? The shelf is crappy?

IMO - Do your own thing, it's got to be better.

Kenny - Not an option for me unfortunately, I am terrible at handywork and I hate doing it!

Just to follow up on this - the hole through the metal piece is only 5mm in diameter, and the smallest lag screws the hardware store had are 1/4". Am I missing something?

Current Target Wall Mounts are crap. Use one at your own risk. Seek out an original like this one that just sold:

and compare them, even visually, online.

I use one like the one linked to above. Secured into studs there will be no problem with the frame with a 50 or even 75 pound table.

The MDF shelf (which should be replaced anyway) will flex and sag a bit with a heavy table. A 3/4" or 1" piece of baltic birch should fix that and be relatively inexpensive.

Ideally, a constrained layer shelf can be made using a couple of pieces of baltic birch with a piece of 1/8" neoprene sheeting between them without breaking the bank.

I use extruded acrylic for the top layer of my shelf and found it to be worthwhile but it's pricey when compared to the baltic birch.

Well, I got mine mounted to the wall with long wood screws on either side into studs, and a screw in a metal EZ anchor in the middle.

It seems to be pretty stable and sturdy. Granted, I still have questions, ie. why do the little metal leveling rods have 2 nuts, and what are the adhesive pads for?

You'd think they could have taken a few minutes and written out some instructions...
