right now i have my bella in a 2x3 c&c cage and im thinking about getting her a friend. I would like to make her cage a 4x2 if i get her a friends but i cant find a table (that is under $200 the right size to put the cage on. Also she's in my room and gets dialy visits from my mom and younger siblings but we also have a dog so i really dont wnat her near the floor. so what do you think? is a 2x3 gonna be too small for tow piggys? let me know thanks

You can build a stand from another box of grids. It's much cheaper than buying new table. I don't think 2x3 will be enough. My 2 boars fight when they were in 2x4. Now they're in 2x6.

The following link shows a table that I use for a 2x5 cage with no issues what-so-ever. Not the more elegant table, but you can put a cloth of some sort over it to pretty it up. I paid less, as it was on sale when I bought it, but it's still a lot less expensive than 200$. It keeps the cage around waist high, so it's a nice height for viewing, too.

You could also go to the local hardware store and purchase a piece of 1/2 inch plywood or particle board.. have them cut it to the proper length for your new cage. Center the board on your table and put the cage on top. The plywood should have no problem supporting the weight of the over hanging cage.
