While it looks nice it's too unstable, you really need to get both legs further under the table. For some reason, some people eventually end up sitting on or plonking large weights on tables, baby bassinet, box of books, large tray of drinks. Of course this will happen when a small child is crawling underneath.

I was expecting that comment and yes I must remember to take children into account. I think the stability would be easily fixed by increasing the length of that first leg underneath the table.
