I am planning to make a dining table, dimensions 2000mm x 960mm x 40mm, in

The company selling me the timber suggests this would need 9 legs, which
is ridiculous. (I don't think I've ever seen a table with 9 legs before.)
It's a crucial part of the plan that the table have only 4 legs. But I like
this company's tabletops.

The only sensible number of legs is three.
