DIY dinning table ends up wobbly

Hi,

I made dinning table using below table legs from Bunnings. It's wobbly. Not sure what I can do to fix it?

What is the table top made of and how did you fix it to the legs?

Table top is couple of timber panel from Bunnings.

Fixed to legs using 12g 25mm screws.

To be honest, based just on this image, I don’t think you would get much purchase with just 18mm thick timber. Personally, I would use something 40-50mm thick to get more bite to tighten the fixings.




Given that you have what you have, you could think about attaching some kind of cross-bracing to connect the two legs so they act more like one unit. Of course, given that you can't get the screws in tightly enough, you might just end up with a unified wobble across both legs.

Found the problem for you.

Thanks for your input, this is what I did and it's now very firm.

Well done - that looks great.

Yes it does looks good. Now need to paint it black so looks more like part of legs.
