The table's final dry fit. It's almost perfectly level which was one thing I was worried about.
Also, the glue up with shims.
Tomorrow, the finishing goes on and it should be ready to attach the top

Lego table is coming along. The center piece is done. And ready to be finished. I need to make the legs for both sides (4x) and the two leaves.
We have a good idea on the finish. The "walnut" color on the top right is so far the preference.
