I did the same thing to our kitchen table. It was just getting to be too dangerous for our toddlers who would climb up in the chairs and then promptly fall out of them. You can find out step by step with pictures how I did it on my blog, Homemaker For All Seasons. 1. Determine how much you want to cut off (research which chairs you plan on using with it first. Typical table heights are surface to ground varying from 29 to 30"

2. Wrap masking tape all around the table leg (this helps with clean cuts) Mark your table leg across on 2 adjacent planes (just do 1 leg first because you will use the cut portion as a template for the other legs.)

3. Detach your table leg from the table top and clamp it down to a table or garage step with your saw guides clamped to the leg. Set up a cutting jig for use with a hand saw. Line up scrap straight edge wood scraps along your cutting lines and clamp to both sides of your table leg. This will be your saw cutting guide.

4. Line your saw blade on the lower side of your cutting line and start to pull the saw to make an initial cut (don't start on a corner, start sawing on one plane or flat surface. but keep blade lined up with the 2nd plane you traced your cutting line on.

5. Take the part you cut off and use it to mark the cutting lines on your other 3 legs...use the same template piece to mark the other 3 legs.

6. cut the other 3 legs, ensuring tour saw blade stays on the same lower side of the cutting line.

7. Reassemble the newly shortened table.
