Best way to Reinforce this stand?

[chinkalink]

Hi guys,

What would be the quickest most effective way to reinforce this stand? It wobbles from left to right just a tad. Pushing it front to back is fine. I just don't want to fill it and end up having issues down the road.

Shear the back panel.

Does that mean put plywood on the back?

Or if you want to get fancy and spend a bit more get a sheet of HDPE

Take this offer. Or just get a new stand. That's an mdf stand?

Yeah, I wouldn't trust it. You can always build a 2x4 stand and skin it. Although 2x4s are pricey now a days.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust that stand at all. Judging by the rusty hinges, it's seen better days.
