Trusted Advisor Tip: The "Sag-Proof" Standard Before buying any "pre-packaged" craft kit, check the shelf thickness. Most big-box laminate shelves are only 1/2-inch thick and will sag under the weight of a sewing machine or bulk paper. We recommend 3/4-inch solid wood to ensure your workspace remains level and safe for life.
