You could even hang some servers underneath your LACK, aka the LackRack [0]

This is hilarious, but I can't imagine relying on 4 screws into the cheapest wood known to man, all at the one end, holding up a heavier rackmount server without it sagging dangerously. On the other hand, I can imagine two LACKs stacked, with the servers on top of the bottom table, their weight being borne by all 4 legs evenly, and just mounted to the legs of the top table just to hold them securely in place. Anyway, thanks for sharing that awesome link!


The legs on lack tables used to be solid wood. IKEA is on an ongoing quest to make the production cheaper though and these days the legs are hollow.
