I'm building a relatively large live edge table / desk out of a slab of maple. The slab is 2 5/8" thick, 72" long, and 30-36" wide. It's heavy. I'd like to use a pair of cast iron legs, but am weighing my options based on stability and price.
A set like these look nice, but I am a bit concerned with the top mounting allowing the top to rock forward and backwards. This is a desk, not a workbench, so perhaps I am just paranoid:

A set like these look like they'd offer more fore/aft support, assuming the center beam is strong enough (it appears very stout):

These also appear to be a strong option. Of the 3, they appear to have the strongest design, but I wince at the price:

Am I over thinking this, and would the first set actually provide reasonable support for a desk?
