. Can a well constructed plant table provide the same isolation as an audio rack??

I am getting tired at looking at my vertical audio rack which is a Sanus 4 shelf rack.  Audio  racks often make it difficult to hook up components and also clean them.

I once used a sturdy plant table that was about 51 inches long .I realize that such a table has to be at least 18 inches wide and waist high. Large power amps ( 65lbs) can always be placed on an amp stand under the table if their weight will warp the table top

Not looking for a  piece of  stylish component furniture which can be equally difficult to clean and can cost  $2000-$3000 plus.

Recommendations needed

Thank you

S.J.

A rigid wooden table with low mass that keeps the units still should always work well and look nice.
 
There is also additional question of where the table is sited. Wooden floors are ok as long as the boards aren't too wobbly. 

Concrete/tiles are easier to work with if you want to get and keep the resonant frequency <10Hz. 

As sometimes with benign distortion, some might prefer a modicum of resonance a desirable ingredient to add flavour to their sound!
