For my next project, my son wants a dining table, and of course he picks a fancy one from Restoration Hardware:

Looking for some advice on two points:
1. How to attach top to base? I'm thinking I can run plenty of screws down the center-line stretcher, but what about at the ends? Those legs are very thick and the diagonal supports take up all the free space.
2. How to make this knock-down so it can be moved in to an apartment. Dimensions right now are 6 feet long and about 40 inches wide, and usual height of 33 inches or so. I can't think of any way to make the base as a series of components, I think they all need to glued/tenoned together. I guess I can trust him to screw/unscrew the top from the base, but even that makes me a little nervous.
Any thoughts?
