You need 2x4s between the upper and lower frames inside the corners you have built on that stand. Whatever fasteners your yousing will almost always sheer trying to hold that kind of load without any true supports between the upper and lower frames. Good luck on the repairs!

Ha ha St. Louis really can’t even get a good bagel or pork roll past Delaware
What is a pork roll?!? I don’t know what NJ pizza is like. Can you mail me one?! I’ll trade you an Imo’s pizza and toasted raviolis!
