This is a simple model of a home made downdraft table, modeled from plans on the Rockler website, designed to match their downdraft table panels. Thought I'd share it, just because.

RE: How to Map Rattan Furniture
This is as close as I know how to get it. It isn't really correct, because the texture maps to each face individually it breaks up the pattern into little triangular shapes.

A flush door, even hollow-cored, has solid wood as rails and stiles and mid-rail/blocking out...
I knew it had some solid wood for the door hardware, based on the image it looks as if the solid wood pieces at the top and bottom of the door are roughly the same dimension all the way around. I suppose it would depend on manufacturer but that would work.

I believe, after installing this table, you will eventually be adding legs to the free corners due to sagging and deflection, cyclical loading, wood shrinkage, and localized material fatigue at the fasteners.
@Mitcorb- The table top has an overhang of 1" on the sides and 4" in the front. If anything wouldn't the sagging occur in the unsupported span in the middle? Which really gets back to the question at hand, how big of a span can I have without additional supports?
@DaveR Of course, that makes sense. I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks.
@TIG the problem for me with a hollow core door is the attachment points for the lower supports are going to be in the middle of the face of the door. I would need to find a way to attach the door without protruding through the top of the door panel.
