My dad actually built this. I had been drooling over the table at Pottery Barn for two years but couldn't afford the $3000 price. Found the plans here and gave it to him with adjustments on the turnbuckles underneath. I wanted the V shape instead of straight across. The tabletop was obtained from an old wood bridge in Eastern WA. I love, love, love this table. The materials cost was $250. The labor was my birthday present.
