One-Way Road Sign End Table with Black Pipe Legs

We decided to put this in our second home. Dimensions: Length 24.75 inches, Width 18.75 inches, Height 25, Weight 31 pounds. The stark graphic design will make a statement in a living room, den, or bedroom. A polished-edge, removable glass pane covers the sign. Legs are ½-inch back pipe—a product measured by its internal diameter; the external diameter is a little over ¾ inch. The crisscross legs add some unexpected flair. The flange “feet” are adjustable, which is great if the floor has any unevenness. Was asking $200.

The Story

I literally stumbled on the sign, still attached to a pole, while walking my dog in a wooded area, a good distance from any street where such a sign would be posted. A year later it was still there, covered by leaves. I figured since no one seemed to be missing it, the finders-keepers rule applied. I separated it from its pole and scrubbed the sign clean. I built the top out of plywood and pine trim and painted it semi-gloss black. I glued the sign down with Liquid Nails and purchased a custom-cut piece of glass. I crisscrossed the pipe legs for a few reasons. First, the standard lengths of black pipe were not an ideal fit for a more traditional approach given the table’s dimensions. Second, without a connecting piece, it creates more stability than if the legs were parallel with the sides. Third, it’s just an eye-catching deviation from the norm, showing there’s not just “one way” to build a table.
