What dimensions did you end up using?- the proportions look great! Even the shorter legs look great! And did you just use 2x6's for your trip on the top? We would love to follow your design to a t!

We were thinking of increasing the overall height to 84" and the width to 48" (keeping the depth) but weren't sure if that would mess up the ratio.

I think your looks much nicer than the original due to the finished top. It looks complete with the way you've made the overhang. How much of a overhang is it? 

I love the rustic x console and coffee table but hated the bookshelf due to the odd looking top, thank you for your inspiration!
