I have a hunch the former style will have a Much longer lifetime. I've
repaired/maintained a few tables, and I think the new design is (1) Not
as strong and (2) More difficult to repair. I suspect that the
"mortise" is the weak spot---partcularly if it's cut in particle board.
By the way, don't underlook "duct tape" as a possible repair
medium--assuming no one looks under your tables. PDAMHIKT.
