If I were to make these out of wood for an entertainment center (Legs would be 12" tall, 18" wide), would they be strong enough without a stretcher running between them?
EDIT:
To add some context…
Here is a picture of the entertainment center, hairpin legs as a temporary placeholder.
Will the legs be able to take the load? Absolutely. Will the entertainment center top itself need to be pretty sturdy due to not having a ton of support? Yeah. Is this fairly normal for things with legs? Also yes. To me the only thing that really different about this is the fact that you’re using three legs instead of two. This is of course assuming a wood top. A glass top would probably need more support in the center.
