Truth be told, soft wood makes this more difficult. Clean joints are all but impossible.
Yes it looks nice now.
Will look much better later!;)

Pine can be a really attractive wood, especially when clear & also when quarter sawn. The table looks great. If it were mine, and the nails are recessed, I'd use some contrasting wood plugs as an accent.
If you plan on staining before final finish, I'd recommend a sanding sealer first to limit blotching that pine is prone to. I use Zinsser's sanding sealer and sometimes when staining, I even thin it a bit more. Best to practice on scraps first.

Morgan you did a very nice job. Before becoming acquainted with hard wood I built a few projects from soft pine. Never with that nice a result. Congratulations. Jim

I might have gone with pocket screws from the underside into the legs to avoid having the visible holes that draw my eyes.

Very nice job of which you should be proud. My personal preference is to use biscuits in place of dowels. Then also use the screws in a hidden position as suggested. But, you did a great table. Thanks for showing.
