Very nice! They should get a lot of use out of it!

The table is 100% furniture grade white pine. Table tops and bench tops are 1 1/8" thick. I had some 12mm birch plywood, so that's what I made the drawer out of. The ply worked OK with the half blinds. Not my favorite look, but the drawer is meant for napkins, so it's light duty.
I ordered the legs from https://carolinalegco.com/. The legs looked great and were paint ready upon receipt.

Nice job. Great idea buying the legs. I don't have the skill to turn one, let alone 4. Love the finish too!

Only I would have done differently is not make the drawer out of plywood (maple???). I don't like seeing the exposed edges to the plywood in the box (or are they DTs?) joints.
I agree. I don't like the way the drawer came out. Won't do it that way again. I ran out of drawer stock and didn't think it would be too bad. I normally use poplar or other paint grade materials for drawer boxes. They are HBDT's, but I still didn't really like the look. There will be no effect on function, and my kids didn't even notice.

That table looks great! Good idea on the benches too; now you only have to build two Windsor chairs.
