The legs should be fine if you add some angle braces from the top of the table. I agree with the others who like a layout higher, as it is easier to get under, and gives a view that is more like standing on a small hill trackside instead of in the helicopter, or drone as I've seen in some recent videos. My past layout was 48" high but when the kids were small, I had to hold them up to see the trains. If you have small children, you may want it lower as Carl inferred.
