I loved building my Coffee Table, thank you Ana White! I built mine to be 42" long and kept all the other dimensions the same, (but didn't do the X's). I also installed leveling feet. I stained it Minwax's Early American, and used 3 coats of Polyurethane and applied everything with a rag. I used 2" Corner Brackets, spray painted with Rustoleum Metallic Charcoal. I bought the baskets from Michaels.
