I need to make a new dining table to more realistically fit the space. That space is confined by 2 walls and a kitchen counter top so I am looking at roughly a 48 inch solid (no leaf) square table. Because of the confined area I plan on putting a generous radius on the corners. I'm open on the final thickness but right now thinking of 1 to 1 3/8 inches.
I have done some research on the pros and cons of legs vs pedestal but those comments were always related to much larger tables. I have made tables and benches in the past always with legs and have not made anything with a pedestal but am not concerned about that challenge if that seems the best way to go.
So with all the experience on this forum I thought I'd ask for opinions on which way you would go with this design and why. And for those of you that recommend a pedestal could you give me some idea of the span at the floor for this size table.
