No wobble lengthwise? Seems it would need some bracing.
The aprons keep it nice and sturdy. Although now I'm at work and wondering if I added a stretcher along the bottom lengthwise… I can't recall.
Yea, the aprons make it really robust, but that lateral stress on such a small area seems like it would flex. I'd either want that stretcher or some cross bracing at the rear.
If you don't expect to move it, you can cheat and drive a single lag through the apron into a stud. Then it'll never move, for sure.
Though I admit I'm impressed it doesn't already flex, what a beast!
