    That looks "sturdy". I think if that were at my house, I'd be using the cabinet space underneath as my bad weather safe room. I really like the thickness of the top. Great work.

    This piece is so interesting. Love it! Any more pictures with a close up of the "plaid" legs? I'm curious how those were made up.

    Love the Dali look and the fact it runs backwards.

    Great job!

    Wow! I really like this design of an old classic. How are the legs attached to the seat? Something about the leg/seat area reminds me of something from a Tim Burton movie.

    I'll say what the others have already said...This is a prototype?

    I really like the design. It reminds me of a bongo drum. Wonder who will be the first to act like they are beating on it?
