If you dig the straight-down look, then you&#8217;re set.\n<p>If the angled-out legs melt your heart a little more, head to your local hardware store and ask them to angle the legs off for you.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll first have to remove the screws, and once the legs are cut, put the screws back in.<\/li>\n<li>Now, before installing the legs, apply any finish you desire to the legs.That might require some sanding and staining or painting. Either way, you&#8217;ll definitely want to do that before attaching them to the table top.<\/li>\n<li>Your last step is to screw the midcentury legs into the base of the Lack table top. And voila!
