I just finished a little oak and tile table for our lanai. It is nothing
special, main reason I posted is the oddball way I attached the feet to the
center column. It worked out well, all is rock solid, thought it might be
useful to someone someday.

The 3/4 ply top is attached to similar brackets via bolts into brass
inserts.

I like it! Enough design to make it interesting, and it looks
perfectly functional.
Back in the mid 70s I built a round dining room table for my sister
using the wrap around legs over a square 8"X8" center. I did the same
thing, legs and supports were the same size, all cut from 2"X6".
(Hey... it was the age of massive waterbed furniture!)
Although not elegant like a cabriolet or french taper leg, I had so
much area to attach the top and bottom to the center it never worked
loose. And it was her only large table for years. About 5 years ago
she sold it and it was still as sturdy as when I made it. That is an
incredibly sturdy design.
Although I must say, that orange/brown stain covered with varnish that
we used in those days was sure butt ugly to look at compared to
today's finishes.

I like that! Nothing oddball about it.

Don't think it looks oddball at all. I like the looks of how you attached
the legs. Good job. Looks great.

Looks GREAT! But what a decision making problem you must have had.
Square the table tiles to the floor tiles or the feet to the floor
tiles. I would still be spinning the table around.
