This would be perfect and provide more than enough support. I would use plywood rather than cross-bracing however. You may have a hard time finding straight, non-twisted lengths of 2x2. Personally I'd use 2x4's. I've built dozens of temporary tables like this for work and they are able to handle hundreds of pounds of fittings... plus my fat @$$ during lunch.
