IME, and I tried to make a cricket table, a three legged table is a royal p.i.t.a. to build. All those compound anglew where the top frame and the stretchers contact the legs. meh.
I did succeed in the end but it was no thing of beauty and it ended up where it belonged, on the bonfire..
Unfortunately where it is going to sit is a bit uneven hence 3 legs rather than 4. I will be ok with the table top but yes slightly concerned re the legs and the angles joints etc. I`ll work something out in the end.
Maybe four feet, to make it simpler, and use simple adjustable feet, like
These will also keep water from soaking into the endgrain of the legs.

Yes that could be an option, thanks for the link.
Make a pedestal instead, then just stick three feet on the base ;-)
My suggestion is to find a fairly chunky cable drum. Stick three feet on whichever side you decide is the bottom. Varnish or paint it as required. Throw the bed slats in the bin, or screw them to the top of the cable drum, whichever suits better.
I'm not sure why folks are making such a big deal of a simple project. Just make the table!
