Dick Clark IV on Mar 25, 2014Oops big fingers...... Then one day I found a table leg off an old Duncan Phyfe table. The kind of leg that comes down then splits into three feet. For support I screwed a round piece of thick plywood to the leg, centered the table on this and screwed from the bottom to hold the whole thing together. We painted it and it is now our kitchen table with seating for four.Helpful Reply

Bonny McDaniel on Mar 26, 2014Sometimes thrift shops have those big, iron bases that used to hold a glass top table...the glass gets broken and the base ends up in a yard sale or at the thrift shop. You would need a big, heavy one to hold the oak top and you could use the above method of putting a piece of plywood on it first.Helpful Reply

Jennifer G on Mar 26, 2014I once used ready-made table legs from Lowe's (four of them) on a random round table top I had laying around for a photoshoot… It turned out so cute, the model bought it after the shoot! I spaced the legs evenly around the circle and braced them underneath with cross beams (like an X) inside the circle since it had a deep 'skirt' around the outer edge.Helpful Reply

Pat on Mar 26, 2014Agree with Jennifer G. Go to Lowes and find some legs. If you are really daunted by stripping the refinishing the wood, you might consider chalk paint and maybe a graphic art on top of the chalk paint. That is what did...Helpful Reply

Mark Hopple on Mar 26, 2014it shouldn't be hard to find legs in a second hand store.. perhaps old sewing machine base.. Depending on the size ...maybe use as a head board...I like the tree stump idea also...u can take off the bark and stain it...good luck to you..Helpful Reply

KathrynElizabeth Etier on Mar 26, 2014Table legs at Lowe's are expensive. Hunt for a beat up table with decent legs, or more than one table if you're willing to mix styles. Or you could buy a small, square, used table and mount your table top on it. A sturdy old night table would also work, if you found one the right height for your needs.Helpful Reply

Claudia on Mar 27, 2014I really like Katherine's idea of using a night stand (or washstand) to mount the top on.Helpful Reply
