In a nutshell: metal table legs/struts/brackets where do I get them?
I'm building a small free standing counter/bar top for my kitchen (big
enough so I can sit on a stool, drink coffee and read the paper in the
morning and stare out the window), roughly 24" X 40" about 40" off the
floor. I'm using MDF doubled up with 2x2 cherry to trim around the edge and
Formica laminate (bamboo cane) for the top. I want to use two metal posts
with brackets to hold it up. Does anyone know of a source for ordering such
hardware on the net? It's not the kind of thing you find at the borg. Or any
experience making tables. I'm debating welding the legs supports myself or
finding someone to weld it for me. I'm also planning on building an
accompanying kitchen table for the breakfast nook and I'd like to keep
everything in the same style.
IKEA sells these round legs exactly as you describe, in various colors.
They also started to sell online.

Don¹t know if these fit your needs, but the company I work for has some
really great metal legs for this type of purpose. We sell some nice steel
"bases" as an alternative to legs as well. Not intended to be a plug per
say, but it's really nice stuff, and it's all I can think of, and you
asked... Quality on all of this is really good. Hope you find what your
looking for.

Thank you that is a good idea for pre fab legs.

They do but the legs are more suitable for woodworking benches. I guess what
I'm looking for is a 3 to 4" square or round steel tube 30 to 40" long, with
a flat plate welded to one end which bolts to and holds the table and some
sort of foot mechanism on the bottom to give it support. It might just be
faster to have a local metal shop fabricate something to my specs. I also
thought of going to the second hand stores and buying an old table for parts
but that's pretty hit and miss.

I was looking for something similar a few years back and ended up at a =
wrought iron fence maker. He made the legs for me for a fair price.
