Y'know, the legs do look like they're "hangin' out there" and the table seems prone to rack but I could use a lesson on stretchers. I know they've been used since the original table but, really, how much do they help ? It seems like the only real good they do is to add a 1/2" or, at most, a 3/4" deep tenon to each side to keep it from racking. Does that really do any good ? Now, if were a diagonal brace it would really help.
