For an indoor coffee table, could I use L brackets at each of the legs? It is made from particleboard and I don't have more with the same finish wood. Or what would you recommend to make it more sturdy while not compromising the aesthetic appeal? Thank!
Brackets work well. I would personally pre-drill pilot holes and use wide-toothed screws that don't have a taper. Putting some wood glue in the holes wouldn't hurt either. If you don't have wood glue you could use a CA glue as an alternative. You have to work pretty fast with the CA glue though. (super glue) Particle board can rip out fairly easily so the addition of glue might be a good idea. Thank you for watching Sophia!
Why didn't give it a shake after finishing the setup?
I don't know if it's still shaky or not......
Definitely still racking with those pocket screws
Exactly

How could I strengthen a table made from two cast iron legs either end, with wooden planks for the top. Where best could I brace it?
Does the bracing need to go all along the table? Or can I just have the brace in the back of of view?
This thing was rock solid but I'd definitely recommend at least doing three sides if you are able to.
What if the legs are cylindrical legs?
lol I have this exact same “table”
