In Reply to: Hollow legs / Solid legs.. how do you define them? posted by WBWB on January 19, 2007 at 22:40:04:
This is an email exchange with Ken Lyon some time back regarding the legs:Ken replied: "The solid hardwood dowel legs that you propose should work just fine.I'm not sure that it would be necessarily better but so long as the legs are rigidly secured it definitely would make assembly easier (esp. if the Lack side table has the hollow legs)."
The hollow legs won't work (or will take much extra effort) because you need to be able to affix the spike to something solid. That's the reason the hollow ones don't work. So go with a Lack table that has particleboard legs, or use replacement legs of solid wood.
