Andy, yes the tables *seem* hollow, but I don't think they all are; and I know for a fact that the oak veneered table has some type of honeycomb core. I don't think the salesman knows. There are many different philosophies on isolation and vibration control. I'd recommend that you do an AA search (key words: lyon, rigid, low mass) to learn about one point of view. All I can say is that I was about to build a TNT Flexy Rack and Mr. Lyon and others saved me some money and time. I am experiencing considerably better PRaT, tighter base and more natural timbre with the Ikea Lyte. There is no real downside...you spend $9-15 bucks, buy some cheap speaker spikes, spend 2 minutes screwing the spike into the shelf and finito. If you're not impressed, you are out 1 hour and $25.
