Help with non slate table, anyone?

I have this 7 foot table that is non slate, just MDF I believe. I know that nobody talks about these cheaps tables in this forum, and I understand why, but maybe someone would want to spend some minutes giving advice on how, if possible, do I get this table level. I believe the whole frame (not only the mdf surface) is warped in a way that center of table is a bit lower than the extremes, so trying to level the table with the 4 leveling things won't work. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
If your serious at all about the game I would get rid of that table.

keep checking craigslist and you will be able to find a table with a slate bed for under a hundred or possibly free. If you can afford to spend more than this then by all means do.

I would love to give you some better advice on what to do to level out the MDF table but if the MDF bed is warped then you would need to replace that and your spending money that would be better spent on a table with a slate bed.
 
look for table

you can find a good used slate table in the i wanta or the clasified .
you know the mdf is warped what it is sitting on is out of line also.
i built a non slate table from scratch looks and plays good .
used mdf board main support beam solid oak . cross support oak ply board
set the two end cross support pulled a line each side to the other side
of end cross support set eight other cross supports the length of the
main support beam set to line . not a brunswick or diamond, but rolls good.
said all that to say this you can buy a slate table cheaper than you can build one or repair the one you have. when i learn to do pic. will post pic.
of my home made pool table .
