For what it's worth, I helped install an S4 on a yacht, they had cups 
made to match the lower leg taper that were bolted to the deck. Very 
solid installation. Painted gloss black they were invisible until you 
looked closely. I cant imagine doing anything less. Anyone see Superman 
where the kid threw the piano across the deck?
