I'd built a table for my daughter and her roommates at college last year. One of them is getting married this year and asked If I would mind building one for them. They found a picture of this table someone had built and I tracked down your plans. They needed it smaller so this one is 72" by 39" and I built the bench in a similar style.
They wanted a smooth top (no grooves between boards) and no breaboard ends. The table top wanted to warp a bit at the corners without the breadboards, so I imbedded some angle iron to keep it flat.
