Hello all
I just recently got QM Achille but I realized my kitchen counters cannot fit them because of the cupboards . i have a table but I dont have confidence that it can hold the machine of 90 pounds and while pulling the lever there would be more pressure applied on the surface of table. i dont want to invest too much in table . What would be your suggestions if anyone already have made such arrangement for their heavy machine. This one from macys doesnt have info on the weight it can hold looks sturdy but the delivery fee is making me second guess to take a risk.
Suggestions please - would put Niche and the machine with knockbox

Some of these are certainly sturdy enough:

I've got two of these for tables in my shop and they are way more than sturdy enough.

We got a used whiskey barrel and put a glass top on it and use it on our porch as a table. I was just thinking recently that it could work as an espresso stand, it's a good height for that. They have round wooden tops you can get at Menard's you could stain for the top that look thick enough for the weight, and probably nailing it to the barrel would be a good idea.
Another idea, we made a stand for ours out of pipes. We used the plan on This Old House, adjusted it some, and a butcher block top.

I second the Seville tables. I got one under my Breville Oracle in the past, it is perfect. Having locking wheels is helpful too.

Thanks for the suggestions.
In terms of weight of machine which can be around 100 pounds with water and a grinder 120 pounds, considering downward force, it should be safe around 250 pounds?
I like the seville tables too, i want something that i can easily get rid of later on when i am moving as I am renting a place. Whiskey barrel suggestion looks good too .
