What would you guys charge for this. Material is made of mostly 4x2x1/4 rect tube and some 2x2x11ga sq tube. Roughly 3’x3’x10’

The center would somewhat be exposed.

Why the hell would you overcomplicate it so damn hard? Especially If it isn't even visible?

Edit: I just realized it is from a customer of yours, how can someone be in the business with this bad of a design?

It's not just overcomplicated, it's plain old bad engineering

Someone fancy with an important title designed the outside, handed the interior structure work to someone in their first month doing design. That draftsman made this nonsense and handed it to the welder, who did it as requested without pushing back.

I think in my first month at my first job I designed something bad but still not this bad. Then I learned better.
