Slot Stand - Build it yourself $25
TODSZX:
Hi,
I built my slot stands based on FireballJackpots design. Hope Fireball is cool with it.
My issue was the plywood and cutting angles.
I drive a Honda Civic and there's no way to transport a 4ft x 8ft sheet of plywood.
I'm using 2x6's for my top piece and just cut square pieces.
It seems really stable and strong.
I just have some basic wood working tools.
A square, worm-drive Skilsaw and a drill.
I wrote the dimensions on the lumber. Think is readable with some zoomage.
Hope you like:

I'm drilling pilot holes so as not to crack the wood.
Drilling the 2 1/2" drywall screws deep enough so they don't stick out and catch anything.

No issue with gravity loads. A 2x4 post will carry a substantial amount of weight.
Was worried about lateral forces.
I've pushed and pulled without any deflection.
The sheer capacity of the screws seems adequate.
I have 3 friends that are structural engineers.
Mostly I don't have a clue what they are talking about.
Picked up a few smart sounding words........haha.
Not sure why they hang out with me ???

This is the final product.
I built 3 of these guys this afternoon.
These I made 22" tall. I've done 24" & 26" - Just need 4 taller legs.
I like the 28" width for setting drinks and using as a foot stool.
The 22" depth works for all my machines and (4) 2x6's pressed together is easy.
Dimensions 28"-wide 22"-deep 22"-high
Items purchased from Lowes for one stand:
(1) 16" 2x4 = ? (had a 2x4 piece lying around)
(2) 8ft. 2x4's = $5
(2) 8ft. 2x6's = $10
(1 1/2) cans Valspar paint+primer spray paint = $6
(1/2) 1 lb box 8 X 2 1/2" course thread drywall screws = $3.50
Total cost $25 (+-)
Like that there is storage space underneath.
Cheers!
Todd
