I have an extra large laminate desktop that I'm wondering if I can convert into a dining table. I have never done any DIY projects, but I'm eager to learn, so any advice about my approach is appreciated!
I have this wooden laminate desktop:

Specs:
- Fused melamine laminate over 45lb density E1 particle board
- 80"x30"
- 1" thick
- 65lbs total
My plan
- Purchase 28" hairpin legs
- https://www.homedepot.com/p/Crates-Pallet-28-in-Black-Steel-2-Rod-Hairpin-Leg-4-Pack-6420211004/305048854
- Attach one per corner
- Call it a day
Concerns
- The table likely wont have that much on it at once, but I'm wondering if only supporting the corners for such a large table could cause warping over time.
- Do I need some sort of center support for a table of this dimension or are the 4 hairpin legs enough?
​
Any advice/help is greatly appreciated!
