In an A frame, the more pressure you exert at the vertex/apex, the more it wants to pinch together and the legs want to press outward and rotate about the vertex. It's a compressive force, not a sheer nor torsional nor tensile force, and the bolts/rivets/fasteners they must be using actually stabilize or increase that compression. If it's going to fail, it'll fail for a defect in the wood itself, in the legs, just towards the top of the A, like snapping a wishbone. Actually the opposite.

The joints between the legs and the plywood will burst quite easily, no? The chairs looks very tempting, but what if you put a lot of tension on the seating?

On the table, a glass cover could actually be very elegant. For the chairs though I don't think it would be such a problem. Great furniture, really love the work of the brothers!
