Me, I would grab a tree... slice a bit out, roll the log into the room, tip over DONE!

But, if you wanted to use your flat concrete top... you could have a forest of thinner logs as legs, or ANTLERS

go thrift store hunting and collect rot iron use it as the legs will keep with the industrial feel and give you a different medium to add contrast and interest to the concrete top
 
Al, I'd love to use a log, but like I said, if its wood, it needs to be oak. And a big enough piece of oak, well... that's pretty expensive. I saw a super cool table made from a whole log resting on it's side and it looked really nice.

or you could do plywood with an oak veneer then cut the slots so you can make supports like @Beer can 's dad did.

Back in the dark ages when Water beds were all the rage My water bed was supported completely with those X style supports. Nice thing about them is when you move they disassemble flat compact and take up less space in the moving van.

When you make your concrete table you can cast in grooves for the X's to fit so in case someone stubbs a toe on one the table wont be in danger of wiggling.

Id use 3/4 inch thick for esthetics but My waterbed was supported by about four of those X's made of 1/4 inch thick plywood... The matress we calculated weighed at least 2000 lbs. or about 907 Kilos
