Substituted the galvanized pipes for heavy grade (Type M) copper pipes for a prettier, warmer look (I'm obessed with copper accents!)
So happy to have found these plans, and proud of how it turned out! It was even better than what I was hoping/looking to build. (I can't stop staring at it! :) It looks like I paid over $1000 at some high end furniture store like West Elm, but managed to make it for under $200!!!
Thanks Ana White for these plans and all of the others on your site. You have shown both me and my 65 year old mother the confidence and joy of woodworking! (And saved us a lot of money, too!)
