I have made one too.
I used stryrofoam onto which i glued 3mm MDF that was dyed and then got a
couple of coats with expoxy. This gives very hard surface.
The advantage is that i have a material that is 5 cm thick, quite strong
yet very light.

After all it is a just a visual appearance.

i have a foldable stand with wooden legs.
On top of it is a board so the whole thing becomes a table
The sides are hold in place with magnet looks for wardrobe doors. All looks
- no weight.
