Step 4: Complete the Table
Now that you have all four legs on it's time to put the table top on. First you'll want to flip the table over. Once you have it upright place one of your two particle board tops (the 3ft by 4ft pieces) on the top of the table.
This is where your measuring tape and pen come in. I made marks on the under side of the table top where the corners should meet on the table. This usually was at 4in and 2.5in for each corner. Make sure you measure each corner twice too, else you may have an unbalanced table.
With the table lined up correctly I made marks on the top of the table telling me where the table frame was. Then, using 6 more screws, I secured the table top to the table frame. I had to do this twice, though, since the first screw pushed the table a little bit out of center. Be careful about this (again, this would be a good place to have a buddy help).
