    Hinging concept is cool. A few things. - a door is not a good table. If you got the door for that cheap, it’s hollow core and will not support any weight on the skin of the door. If it is solid core, it’s still not a good table. The skin will get ripped up and you will start to expose the glued together, rough chip wood core. - Those table legs are not going to be sturdy. I’m planning on building a collapsible table soon and I plan to have 3 pull out supports that will be hinged up against the wall behind the table and swing out to support the table. Haven’t plotted out “locking” them in place yet though.

    thank you for the comments. It is hollow and have used it for many years without any issues, I have put 300 pounds on it with no issues, the legs are extremely sturdy, It is a workbench and has performed very well since day one, it has wear and tear but any workbench would.
