The table top is connected to the base at 4 points with 4 screws, 3” each of them... rather, a little shorter than that, but more than 2”... don’t ask me more about those screws, because I don’t know! But that’s the way they were.
One day, after removing the top so as to move the table outside the room for an event, we were not able to put back the screw... as much as we screwed it, it would just slide out.
So, I got a longer and fatter screw. This one must really be 3 inches long. Made sure it wouldn’t go through and through the table top and screwed it in. Worked perfectly well.
My second option, if the screw had been too long for the table top, would have been to insert extra wood in the hole. That would create a sort of sleeve that would make the screw hold the table top to the base. I guess it should have worked as well.
