Looks good. I would call it Shaker. Can we assume that the fastentening

A Shaker table would be more likely to have round legs.

Pure Mission, would show more through tenons... even pegged ones.
The skirt could have had a slight arch to it and still be valid as
'Mission'.

IF I had to call it anything, I would call it Metropolitan.

There are so many 'melds' of the above styles that the most important
aspect survives.. and that is simplicity. Clean lines.

Then again... Mission is in the eye of the beholder?
