What is the maximum weight a table can hold?

I’m looking for a table to hold two fish tanks. A few shops have coffee tables, sideboards and TV stands that are the perfect height and width, but all will hold a most weight of linking 50 and 70kg, whereas I need it to hold 200kg.

Is there a way to calculate whether the table will hold the additional weight, or is it trial and miscalculation? Also, could such a table be reinforced to support the additional weight, and if so, how?

It would depend on what it was made out of and how it was made.

    the safe way is to go for a metal table, or you can have a custom made wooden table but you have to tell the master carpenter what weight you should carry on it and he will be able to place excellent materials for it.
