Topic: Building a table - Gamesforfun Hollow Rods?

[kotrf]

Hi,

I am in the midst of trying to build my first table.  However, I'm trying to be a bit budget conscious since this will be my first attempt.

The best price I've seen thus far is a set of 8 solid rods for $90 + $20 S&H.  However, I wanted to try to get a set of hollow rods and I see that on this page

They can be had at $22.99/rod.  Does anyone have any experience with buying from this company or these specific rods?

I'm following the plans found here

So I'm figuring these rods will save me a fair amount, and then adding this kit:

And then the only thing left will be the lumber.

Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
