How much weight can a 3/4" piece of plywood withstand?

Good news. I have enough Particle Board to make 4 of the needed size (just gotta cut one in half). Should I double up the top and bottom, triple up the top and single the bottom... what would you recommend?

I recommend that you actually get started building it

Just keep adding wood, screws, and glue till the thing is sturdy and basically unmoveable, thats when you know you have a quality product.

I build one support today. I also cut the notches with my jigsaw. I have decided to triple up on the top bench area. 1.5 inches of particle board held together with wood glue and 3" screws on the top should do. The first 1/2" layer will be attached using the included screws, same with the second. The third will require longer screws. I'll check out those 3" gold screws you recommended. On a side note, some of the cuts the morons at lowes made were of poor quality/off by 1/8", and they even left out a piece so far at glance. Dumbasses.
