Did you make them higher? My dining room table is too low and hurts my back to cut on.
I'm using an old oak table with ugly metal legs, that I put on four coffee cans. That gives me six extra inches and my back loves it. For a dining room table, I would also place a small plank of wood across the top of the coffee cans to disperse the weight. Wouldn't want those table legs to bust through the coffee cans!
