Hmmm...
"You might also want to first stress test your bench by piling at least 800 lbs on it. Better it should fail under buckets of sand or something than with your new mill."
"I'm sure the bench will hold it with no problems..."
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I think Ken (PixMan) is correct. I do notice that you appear to have a shelf under the bench. I would clear that off and also remove everything else on the bench top so I could work freely.
In addition to adding legs, you might drill a hole in the shelf that you can pass a piece of iron pipe through. Once you have the bench leveled you could insert the pipe and add these to the foot and cap:
That way you could use them as a screw adjustment to fix any future settling or other deviations. They are about $7.00 at Home Depot.
