Gluing metal legs onto tiles as a side table

[oscrug]

I want to glue metal legs onto a large tile and use it as a side table.

I'm thinking of finding a really large slab of porcelain stoneware, for example, 100 x 100cm.

How should I attach a pair of legs like these directly to the slab?

I could screw and embed a screw sleeve, but it would be much easier to glue...

What should I glue/silicone with in that case? Will it hold, or are screws needed?

Epoxy, but are you sure the tile will hold?

I'm thinking a 20mm thick slab, it should hold I think.

There are tables with marble tops and metal bases available for purchase, but the top lies in or on a frame so that it has support all the way around.

I was thinking of finding a really big slab of granito-ceramic, like 100 x 100cm.

I could screw and inset a threaded insert, but it would be much easier to glue...

That slab weighs 60 kg and you want a leg in each corner? Hmm...

Granite slab anyway. But what you're looking for might weigh less.
