table legs, because tables are inanimate. Ellen's legs, but table legs.

Nevertheless, some people find nothing unusual or wrong about "table's legs". I'm not one of them.

Thanks! I am reading right now "Failure Is Not an Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond" by Gene Kranz who was a flight director in NASA's Mission Control during the Apollo moon program. The book is full of inanimate objects with the possessive S. This book is a best seller.
