The table top is 1.5 inches thick made up of 2 layers of 3/4 inch think plywood. The top layer of the table top is hickory plywood (the top and bottom layers of the plywood are hickory). The base layer of the table top is 3/4 inch general plywood from Home Depot.
Thanks, again.

What is the metal accent?
I love this!!! Where did you buy the metal accent that goes around the perimeter of the table top? What is it?

Thanks! I bought it from Lowes. It's just 1.5in Wide aluminum painted black and connected with a bunch of black, flat headed screws.

Another Question
I actually looked at the hardware stores for something similar before you answered by comment. I wasn't able to find anything that I thought would work. Do you remember what the aluminum is used for in other jobs? Or what area you found it in?
A family member suggested using the metal stips that hold down the end of carpet, but it's not long enough for the table.
Thank you!
