    Where is the triangulation of parts for maximum bracing so as to avoid racking?

    This can take place from the legs diagonally to the top.

    The simple question to answer is: if I push from one side, what prevents the table tipping in that direction?

    The alternative is to hang the table top with a skyhook.

    I am not overly concern with racking but rather with warping of the top
