The legs are your typical hairpin legs. I bought them on Amazon

I am lucky enough to know someone with a thickness sander, so that leveled it out quick. As for the finish, it was a coat of boiled linseed oil followed by 4 coats of Arm N Seal satin poly + oil with a very light 400 grit sanding in between each coat.
Thanks man!! Actually the unit is a Besta Ikea hack:

Just buy the Besta TV Stand from Ikea, buy it with no legs. What I did was buy industrial hairpin legs and attach them to the unit:

Any other questions you have about the DIY let me know!
Attach some legs onto the media cabinet to give it more of a presence in the room.
For example
DIY, baby:
these instructions, ish
pre-glued/planed wood panel from big box hardware store (cant' find the link now, but the table is ~18"x48"x3/4") Tried to assemble boards but without a proper way to plane them afterwards it'll never be straight. Plus, I can't lie, I am a joke of a woodworker.
small wood strips for cleats (per those instructions, tweaked for my dimensions)
these hairpin legs
Only difference between me and the instructions is that I used spray polyurethane due to time/space constraints. If I was doing it again, I'd do a proper urethane job.
they have a baseplate with screwholes. like this
If you like DIY that coffee table is an easy and inexpensive one. It's just a sanded piece of wood, stain to color preference and seal, and hairpin legs.
Metal hairpin legs. Matte black. Multiple sizes depending on what you'll use it for.
