yes. they do stand out in an unwanted way. Maybe make a fabric skirt to go around the table and hide the legs and make a great hidden storage area. just get some fabric you like, buy some stick -on velcro for around the edge of table and there you are! If you pick a fabric that doesnt run then you dont have to even hem or sew! Just cut and stick. Post after pics so we can see. Love the antique piece!
