Not too stable - you wouldn't want build a house of cards or perform surgery on it - but still pretty neat.

If the y-axis runs top-to-bottom, the x-axis runs lower-left-to-higher-right, and the z-axis runs higher-left-to-lower-right, it's going to have some play in the (horizontal) xz-plane (e.g., it will be susceptible to twisting & oscillation parallel to the ground).

Yes, you couldn't push down or lift up on this table, but you could clearly twist the table from the tabletop.

In my experience in civil construction, this is exactly what is wrong with engineers. We'd all be better served by engineers who've spent a couple of years working in the field so they could understand how things *actually* work.

It can't go too far as any deviation from the vertical on the center chains would demand that the top rise in height, so the corner chains would be more taut, not less. With a stiff enough chassis I would imagine it would be quite solid.
