      A minor suggestion @ design: what about carrying the curve of the leg all the way to the short support pieces that hold the top, as if the "leg" were one long piece?

      Doesn't show well above but it is one leg with a continuation of the curve.

        Cool, sorry I didn't catch that. What if, instead of having the apex somewhere in the middle of the curve, the leg tapered so that it was fattest at the bottom and a little skinnier at the top? It's a small table, so the top won't be supporting huge amounts of weight. To my eye it appears a little too heavy up top. Just my $0.02, hope you don't mind the suggestion.

          Not at all, please feel free to have a play with it yourself if you are inclined.

            Gave it a quick go. The leg is one Bezier curve, smallest at the top, fattest at the bottom. Oh, and just for fun I added the curve to both outside faces.

              Damn! I think I prefer yours, tho' perhaps a little too beefy.

                I agree it's too beefy, but it was a quickie πŸ˜„

                  Seems to have been given an "oriental" flavor: nice (and not too beefy from an oriental point if view)

                    In my humble opinion the design would be greatly improved by losing the bit on top. If you think you might need extra space then a simple hardwood pull-out panel at the top should suffice. It would also make a nice feature. Perhaps something like this

                      I have a bedside table that has that kind of shelf on top. I really like it- a good place to stash a book or two...

                        Yeah, I tend to have a bit of stuff next to the bed, I expect most people do. At present there is a clock radio, phone, tablet, kindle, notebook, water glass, tissues, spectacles, spare spectacles, ... you get the idea 😞

                        BTW The 'Oriental' look is very much part of my style.
