    Loved my Lp12 on one back in the 90s. I still ise them on and off today but the construction of the legs has changed a bit over the years. Not Sure it will make any odds though and I'd still expect a good sound with an LP12 at least.

    yes i have read that the legs are not solid any more just the first 2 inches,but for under a tenner its worth a gamble i think.

    Jamie , I bought the Lack bench and a table the same colour . I pinched the legs off the table and used them on the bench , making the bench much higher . I use my server , Rega Brio R and Rega DAC on top and love it . You can't cut it though as it's hollow inside . However because of this it has similar characteristics to Torlyte .
    You can then use the legs from the bench for your turntable

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    That's a brilliant idea.

    I’m using LAC coffee tables.

    I also found that the legs are hollow so I popped down to B&Q and found some square pine timber which fitted inside the leg perfectly.

    So cut to 5 inch lengths and glued inside the leg with resin worked well and allowed spikes to be fitted to each leg.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Like them.

    Cheap and easy to add to as the HIFI pile grows.

    IKEA 'lack' tables are a decades old Audio Rack idea.
    I have some in my loft space. Hey! Cheapest tables etc., money can buy as my excuse.
    My Kids broke one once.. surprisingly/astonisingly flimsy lashups.
    Consequently I've never put any audio gear on them.. seemed as too risky TBH.
    Linked table at least looks like Furniture.. likely far more acceptable to the housemate
