Hi Everyone,
It's finished.
I'm happy with the look of it overall and it's strong and stable. Adding all those screws to it did the trick:
I don't think I'll use shiplap pine again for a top or a shelf without a strong frame around it and underneath it. There was just a little bit of movement when I was picking it up and working on it and I think it possibly could have broken in half had I handled more.
The stain color is different from the other table I made long ago. I'm not sure if the manufacturer has changed the color or if the color on the other table has faded a bit. I would prefer it a lighter shade and so in the future when I make the bed headboard I've been planning I'm going to experiment first with mixing and matching colors first.
But the table is strong and there's no movement in the top or shelf when we picked it up so time to call it a day with this one.

Next project
I'm thinking of making a long low console for my living room that I could place either some baskets for storage or make some drawers for all the stuff around the living room. I'd like a less cluttered look as my living room is smallish. More on that as it develops.
Anyway, thanks for dropping by the woodshop and stay tuned for the next adventure!
Best,
VW
