I have a dining table project in the works and was considering making the table extendable via one leaf. I attached some screenshots as I basing the plan from a Fine Woodworking article. The table base design will be simple with simple tapered legs similar as shown with substantial mortise and tenon joinery. The length of the table closed will be 72” and will extend with one 24” leaf. I like the idea of using drawer slides as the extension slide hardware as shown in the article.

How strong would this design be? I could add a third slide assembly. Has anyone experience building a table like this?
Thanks in advance.
