How to make a tiled coffee table?

[katep1]

Hello! I am working off the Bunnings DIY project 'How to create a tiled table' and I was just hoping to ask a couple of questions.

• If I want to increase the size of the table (so it's more of a wide, low coffee table), should I add some kind of bracing, to help the wood cope with the weight of the tiles?
• Should the plywood primer be something that helps stop any moisture from the tile adhesive sinking into the wood (and causing warping/rotting)?
• And finally, if I wanted to add low legs (maybe something like this) do I need to consider a thicker wood to begin with? (At the moment the plywood is 12mm deep).

Hopefully that makes sense, any advice is appreciated, I'm a DIY beginner!

Thanks, 
Kate
