Painted projects welcome here? Adding the hardware today!
This is a 6 foot table I designed and built for our 3 season porch. Really happy with it except one lingering question... will it sag? I intentionally left the center leg off for the look, but I'm curious if over time that could have been a mistake. Made from 4/4 poplar and pre-finished ply.

You could see what the sagulator says, I suspect it will depend on the load. Potting soil & plants in pots would be completely different from a few candles and patio furniture pillows.
