That would work.

I have been using 4x4 tables for years. I can honestly say the cheapest, easiest way to make a stand, is to use two 4 foot 2x4's and 8 cinder blocks. I place my res. in the middle and place the blocks at the four corners. Then just place the boards across and your done. Sounds ghetto right? After using the stands and building fancy ones myself, I realized none of them worked as well as the cinder blocks. The blocks are really easy to level, as every floor is different. I just use shims or cardboard at the corners and raise/lower the boards. Works great. Plus, it breaks down and moves super easy. Good luck man!:S1:
