The legs might be a bit heavier at the top than they should be.

Dave,
Very nice, as usual. I like the finger joints for the turned-up ends on the top. To my eye, though, the long stretcher might look better if it flared slightly at each end, rather than run straight its entire length. Easy for me to say, 'cause I don't have to model the piece.
Best,

Thank you, David. I think you're right about the stretchers. They'd be easy enough to draw with the flare using Follow Me. On the original table the stretcher is a cylinder as I've drawn it but there are blocks a third of the way along that join it to the top. The original table is so long that the legs wouldn't show very well in the model so I made the table shorter and omitted the blocks. There's also some brass L brackets with scroll work wrapped over the top and down onto the blocks. I don't think they really fit with the table. Besides, I was too lazy to draw them.
