Fixing legs to the table top. It is much easier to fix three legs. The more legs you have, the easier it is for them to be wobbly.

(It also matters if the floor is really flat or not.)

Although a rectanglar groove may be sufficient, an L shaped groove like in the photograph, may be used. It depends on where the most weight will be focused.
