8 mm galvanised chain ( chinese anchor chain, nothing special) will break at 3+ tons.middle chain id suspect not strong enough and i bet it wobles like a git too
That's what I though they had done, until I had a closer look. A quick web search suggests I am the only person on the planet who hasn't already seen these designs..just to make sure, why not just weld the links of the chain up.

Yes totally, and for that reason, the frames need to be much stronger than a normal table. For this reason, I accept it's a dismal engineering design, because it needs far more steel to work properly.. more of a novelty conversation starter..if you intend to make one take note
that all the bolts need to be tightened up so they pull those chains stiff so they dont move
Keep looking, I had toI am sick of staring at it to see how it works. They are link chains so I assume they are made solid as opposed to moving and if so how are they done? Surely they must be welded link to link?

Not welded..Or vice versa? Either way the chains become "not chains" when the links are welded together I presume.
