I think this is pretty well a judgement call. You just have to make up your mind about the strength, stability , likelihood of damage , etc.
They're not called boatanchors for nothing.
The AR88 is particular rupture material and the problem with the little feet on a lot of sets is that they perish and leave scratchy screws bare.

Finally don't forget about floor loading. Many modern floors are made from chipboard and will crack if you concentrate weight between the joists. Loads should span the joists and be kept close to the walls.

That's how I got mine. Saw it in the skip and pounced. Sometimes it comes up at salvage places, but it tends to be pricey. Never pass a skip without at least a glance.
However, even with Dexion , you have to load it sensibly and make sure it can't topple.
