Troy, Your not going to go wrong if you keep the table flat and smooth. But you will proably want to recheck it every once in awhile as you will use the tables longer than you think. I had made my table out of 6" x 16ga steel stud and 3/4" particle board. But i didn't have to buy the studs as they were in the scrap pile at work. Good luck, let the adventure begin!
