Your WP_List_Table will be different — this was adapted from WP_List_Table – a step by step guide and using the GIST: Sample plugin for usage of WP_List_Table class (complete version). You’ll want to adjust your methods to include CSS on the front-end as well (not included in this answer).
WARNING :
Since this class is marked as private, developers should use this only at their own risk as this class is subject to change in future WordPress releases. Any developers using this class are strongly encouraged to test their plugins with all WordPress beta/RC releases to maintain compatibility.
