Not the stand. The builder offered to do it (thanks to the wife..) at no extra charge. I just told them where to make it strongest, and they did. I didnt get the final pic of the top ( I lost my dig camera with a lot of pics on it, and had to get a new one) I added 3/4" plywood, and 1" styro on top.
