How many legs?

Pic is leg.
Only info I could find on the weight load for these legs is if they are used with an Ikea table top max load is 50kgs (110 lbs) all together.

I want to use the table in an art studio for general use/projects painting, drawing, stretching canvases so it won't have anything too heavy on it permanently but I would like to be able to apply pressure and not worry about the table collapsing.

Any thoughts on whether this seems feasible would be appreciated. I don't have the tools to do anything more complicated

1 inch? No. Get some timber and build a box frame under the table top. Set it back from the edges a few inches on each side and place the legs in the corners of the frame. Like picture related, bit don't have the legs touching the table top because they won't be part of the frame.

>1 inch? No.
Do you say that because of the weight? or because it's going to sag in the middle?

I don't have the tools to build a frame etc. I'm just trying to do this in the most basic way possible. Thanks for the reply.

I have those legs and they are kinda bendy in practice, on carpet though. I had them on an Ikea birch block table that's about 1". Pine is going to be softer, 2m is not going to work without support.

Ok thanks, do you think one extra leg in the middle would be enough, or does it need two?

I am a little worried about the legs not being sturdy enough because they're adjustable but I would prefer to use them if possible as I want the table lower than standard height.

Pic related is huge a conference table with 5 legs.

Now that I think about it, I've had those legs on a solid wood floor too, and they are kinda annoyingly bendy. I wouldn't recommend them.

If you do something like your pic related I think that would be better.

Damnit that doesn't sound good. I was really hoping they might be sturdy enough. Did you have much weight on them?

Just this Ikea solid birch block. I use it as a coffee table now, propped up on speakers.

hmm might have to reconsider them

It is gonna sag, especially on the 2100 mm side. That is a very long distance to have unsupported by a frame.

Would a leg in the middle be enough to stop it sagging? I don't have the tools to build an apron.

You can literally buy a cheap drill and a box of wood screws to make a frame. At over 80 inches without a frame it will say. Applying load to legs mounted directly to the table will cause stress and cause tearing, bending, flexing, or a major failure.

Probably not, no. Do you have a screwdriver and are not a limp wristed little girl? 8 screws and some wood are all you need to build a frame. Butt joints will be ugly but will work. Miters are better. If you do miters than put a block of wood in each corner and screw from the inside, through the block and into the backs of the frame. That will hide the screws and make it took nicer. It will also give you a good spot to attach the legs too. Predrilling is smart, as you are less likely to split the wood. The top doesn't even need to be that secure on the frame. The frame does all the work holding everything up.
