i may have not alligned the straps properly, the strap fasetenings to the table itself may be too weak and i need another opinion on finishing touches

Perhaps have a friend test it to fit it

MrCool's Plan does sound like a sensible option to me.

Thank you, I am just trying to be sensible

it is sensible but there is no friend available to test it. i need to keep the tickle table hidden since all my local friends dont know about the tickling stuff lol

What material(s) are being used for the straps and fasteners? How thick are the boards that hold the fasteners? Did you use a table shown in a video as a model or an idea of your own? You can pull on the straps yourself (unbound) to get an idea of where it might break.

velcro straps, held by thick screws to the tongue n groove table top. it was a basic 12 strap design built to go on top of 2 school student desks. will take some photos soon

You might want to put the screws through some fender washers(larger,flat,metal washers) to give more surface area holding down the velcro. Just a screw head would be easier to tear out and come through the velcro. Any metal or wood slat piece could be used to cover/hold the velcro, but the fender washer already has the hole drilled. You can also put a 1 by or 2 by board piece under the tongue and groove table top attachment points to give the screws more wood into which to sink. I assume this will not interfere with the table top then fitting/sitting on top of the school desks.
