Step 6Build the Table
Building the table is actually pretty simple. Just as the table top is made from a re-purposed Ikea shadow box Ribba frame, the table legs are ripped right from their $7.99 Lack Table.
Cut down a piece of plywood to a 19 3/4" square that fits perfectly inside of the Ribba frame.
Next, replace the the double pointed lag bolt like hardware from the Lack table with something that better suits the new tables design - a normal lag bolt and some washers.
Then, drill some countersinks for the lag bolts and washers in the plywood at the four corners. If your plywood sheet is a little too thin to take up all the space created by cutting down the Ribba spacer, you can bulk things up by including the factory made Masonite frame backer in the new stack. I drilled out holes in this too to allow for the top tiny bit of the bolt head that still stuck up over the plywood.
With everything nice and flush, use a ratchet to drive the lag bolts into the Lack table legs and mount them to the masonite & plywood support boards.
