Hey guys,

Third time trying to post this... I am building a pedestal style table. The table top will measure 54"x36". The base, as it stands now is, 36"x18". This allows for 9" overhang. This distance seems quite small. The table will be 36" tall which puts it in the 'counter height' category. According to my research counter height tables typically have a 15" overhang. I realize that simply is not possible with these top dimensions. However, I would like to increase the overhang by whatever amount possible.

This table will only have chairs pulled up along the length. Not along the width.

I cannot imagine this base being 12" wide to allow for 12" of overhang.

I think 36"x15" for the base may be acceptable. 10-1/2" overhang is not much better, but it's something.

Any thoughts guys?
