Title: My matching Q*bert table *************
Post by: koolmoecraig on July 21, 2005, 02:27:28 pm

I made a custom bar height table to go next to my Q*bert. It's painted the correct color code and I installed the correct t-molding on the edge.

Opinions?

I can make these to match any cabinet. $225 + shipping.

Peace,
Craig

Looks nice - great height for those 2005 BYOAC tokens...

Looks VERY nice!  I am not sure how many you will sell for $225 though.  Not saying that it isn't worth that price, just that this is a DIY forum, so people generally are looking for ways to save money where ever they can on this fun hobby.


Nice job!

I agree. Too pricey, but such is the cost of supplies sometimes.

You could BYO foundry and cast those little leg assemblies.....

(I think the heat is getting to me.)

Anyhow, dude, you are a big geek!  (Which is, I believe, the highest compliment available.)

The table top looks insubstantial because it's too thin in comparison to the center pillar of the base. I'd probably double the thickness.

Also, $225 seems pretty expensive. After all, the base is $70 or so from a restaurant supplier and the MDF for the top is probably less than $10. I'd agree that most people here would probably build one instead, unless the price were closer to the cost of the supplies.
