DIY Industrial Pipe Sofa Table

I have loved all of the industrial pipe furniture that I have seen all over the internet, and knew that I had to make one for our home. I finally got a chance to do this, and came up with a design that would accommodate our "live edge" table top.
Nothing I saw online was "perfect" for me, so I quickly came up with a crude drawing of what I was wanting, and then added in some pipe dimensions that I thought would work. I took this drawing to Lowe's and started piecing it together in their galvanized pipe aisle. I am sure I looked the site talking to myself and laying it out like a puzzle.
As these black pipes are filthy, I recommend washing them before starting the assembly process.
Like I said....they were filthy! Wear grubby clothes, OR pajama bottoms like I did! LOL!
The pipes were pretty easy to work with, just don't tighten them all the way until you are sure everything is level and how you want it. I didn't listen to my own advice and had the dickens of a time trying to undo the 4" pieces on the side. Tip: Since they don't fully screw in all the way and you will see some "threads" on the pipe, you may need to alter your measurements a tad to fit your tabletop.
Here is my finished DIY Industrial Pipe Sofa Table. It is currently being used in the basement, but I hope to make room for it in our family room soon.

    How stable is this? Would it be too tippy to use as an eating ledge? Do you wish you'd made the long cross bar at a diff level than the short braces? Thx!
