Hi..
I'm looking to make a table that I will place a mud oven atop. I'd like to minimise costs so am looking at pine if it is an option and will hold the weight.
I've done a mockup here:

The image isn't to scale and I was intending to place a third beam through the middle to support the table boards. The table will be 1.6m by 1.6m, and the legs will be 0.6m. All timber inc legs will be 100x100 and the table top boards 200x50. The legs are only short because the table will be placed on an existing raised deck which is sitting directly on a concrete slab.
With those measurements what load do you think it could comfortably hold whether pine or a generic hardwood?
