As it turns out, the cleats work fine as placement guides for the top, and

Not a bad idea for the top to 'float', as the combined weight makes moving
this thing a task and the ability to easily remove the top is welcome.


just make sure the top is loose enough that friction will not lift the
base if the table is lifted from the top. could give someone an
unpleasant surprise...
