So, why use 4X4's? I've had great luck doubling up 2x4's.
The first one sits directly under the 2x frams that supports
the surface, and then I add a second one that goes on up to
the surface itself to give that spot real solid support.
I drywall screw them together. Makes for easier assembly, too.
BTW, I always put a small (1/4") chamfer the bottom of the legs.
Keeps them from splintering if/when they slide on the floor.
