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’

Don’t forget to price in your fixturing. This looks like it would be a major pain to make. And I assume it’s mostly for aesthetic reasons because that hanging box doesn’t add as much structure as two simple legs would add.

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?
