Anyone using a laser printer stand for their Core One?
I've been looking for a table for my Core One. The size I'm focused on is 24x24x24 (~600x600x600). I've found a few side tables but noted that some laser printer stands might work as well. They list high static load limits (200lbs) but wondering how they would handle the movement of the printer during use. Some side tables have the same load limits but greater bulk being made of wood and thinking they'd handle the active printer.
Has anyone used one of these and if not what are you using. I'd expect the non-wheeled versions of the stand would be a must.

There's no standard design for a "laser printer stand", it seems. You would need to share some links or pictures of the specific type of stand you are considering.
But as a general rule, I would not consider any stand with just a frame made of vertical and horizontal rods. You want something to resist shear forces: Diagonal bracing, or back and side walls which are securely bolted to the frame. Or a table with chunky legs and frame, where you can trust the 90° connections at the corners to withstand the shear forces.

Fair enough. And on your point, this one appears to have front to back bracing but not much side to side. Printer stand
I also found this one which seems like a fairly solid side table.

Right -- with the first model I would definitely be concerned about wobbling left-to-right; probably one to be avoided.
The second one looks chunkier -- but the fact that the manufacturer did provide bracing on the sides seems to say that they don't consider the corners to provide enough stability on their own? And lateral stability looks worse than front-to-back, since the additional black rails below the tabletop exist on the sides only. Probably the two sides come pre-glued and just get screwed to the tabletop? Not ideal either, I'd say.
