SOD- If your work stand is a cheapy like mine then change the MDF tops asap. Cut the new tops from scrap ply or whatever. I'm saying this because mine collapsed when I sat on it and caused some injury, and bent the pressed tin frame. The MDF was a bit damp but never wet.

I don't think I would have admitted to that one.
