Leg Placement Question (1 Viewer)

[Ghoti]

Does this look good to you guys?

The table is 225cm long. It's 65 cm from the ends to the middle of each of those legs. I have no idea what I'm doing, so I'd appreciate any input.

I think you may have it upside down.

To what kind of base will the legs be attached?

Haha! There's a heavy flat base to be attached to each of those.

One sec, I'll snap a pic.

Looks good to me, but I am by no means a carpenter...

Love the legs, did you make them?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the general rule is half the length and or width.

So if your table is 8 feet long the legs will need to be at least 4 feet apart. If it is 4 feet wide then the legs should be 2 feet for the width.

Does that sound right? I was gonna tag chanman but I must not be able to remember is correct screen name.

OMG, that beautiful table and you attach it to some cheap cardboard bases?

Alright, based on the I put them a few centimeters too close.

No, Amazon

They look okay to me, also I'm not even sure where I came up with that figure. @T_Chan would know for sure about the table leg spacing.

No, Amazon

I'll usually take the width of the table and place the legs half that distance from the end.

I'll usually take the width of the table and place the legs half that distance from the end.

Based on that, we're about 1.5 cms off I'll take it.

Thanks for the help.

Just went off this advice and cannot say thank you enough. Was struggling on placement and after following this rule of thumb, everything came out perfectly.
