Hi,
I'm planning to build a simple dining table using hairpin legs, and was hoping to get some advise on whether or not the design will work.
My main question is whether or not you think this will be sturdy enough and not sag/bounce in the middle too much? Do you think I need support across the width of the table, or will the thickness of the top be adequate? And is the 50mm support thick enough or should it be thicker (in height).
This is the design:
1800x850mm top made from 24mm birch plywood, with a 50x48mm center support bar/stretcher, made from the same 24mm birch ply (two pieces side by side). All glued together. Four three rod hairpin legs.

Thanks!
