It is actually good enough to stand on its own. Never mind the sustainability talk and just give us the table.

Never the less, great looking project which incorporates traditional techniques with industrial process in an innovative way. me likee Although only a hand saw and an hour are needed to cut tenons (mortises are another story) I tend to agree with Justin.

I can appreciate the idea of the wooden legs being replaceable, and how that ties in with "sustainability, timelessness and a dynamic function". One detail I take issue with however is the fact that the legs fit into the cast elements in a mortise and tenon fashion. To replace the legs, one would have to have the skills and equipment (or of course, the funds) to produce wooden legs that can't simply be bought, cut to length, and inserted. Of course one could just use stock lumber, but the overall 'look' of these pieces would change, and the effect of timelessness would be lost. This design is aesthetically pleasing.
