Hello everyone, first post here!
I've made some stuff for myself before but this is the first big project I'm making for someone else, so I'd like to make sure I get everything right.
I'm going to build a small dining table, I made a couple of renders:

The table is 800mm x 1200mm x 700mm, the bench is 400mm x 1120mm x 400mm
What square tubes should I use to build these so I can make sure they won't wobble? In the project I made them 20mm x 20mm, my local supplier has them in 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5mm thick walls. Of course I could also go with larger tubes, but that would drive the price up significantly. Is there any sort of reinforcement of the structure you would suggest? I'm considering adding a "T" on the middle of the bench since it's supposed to sit 2 people
I'm planning on welding everything except the length one on floor of the table, with it I don't think it will be able to maneuver through the door thresholds of the client. This one I'm considering screwing both ends like this:

I'd have to make a tap on both ends of the tube but I don't have a tapper, or I could just weld a nut on the inside, which I have done before but had some trouble with smaller nuts. Is this a good idea, or should I do it in a completely different way?
