    Default Dimensions and stabilty

    I have been asked 2 additional table of similar design to the coffee table in this thread

    I am concerned about the stabilty given their dimensions and would appreciate any comments. Sorry I have still not mastered sketchup so will attempt to explain.

    Both tables will be 650 high and I think a minimum of 50mm overhang is required to be asthetically pleasing.
    Table 1 will have a top 300 x 450 this would make the base 200 x 350
    Table 2 will have a top 820 x 300 this would make the base 720 x 200
    Cheers,

    Howdya

    You're right to be concernerned HDT, I think they would both be very unstable.

    Instead of having straight legs, angle them out at the bottom, sort of like the bottom half of a letter A. I guess this makes it a different style, but is one solution.
