Like the industrial look of the plumbing pipe shelving here, here, and here? Here's a somewhat heavier version translated for a dining room table:
This project uses off-the-shelf pipes and fittings that are easily found at any big box or neighborhood hardware store. The pieces screw together with no tools whatsoever. Follow the step-by-step how-to, complete with a shopping list, at Frugal Farmhouse.

Love it!
Have been wondering how to have a long, skinny (but cheap) dining table (for up to 25 people!) for the family holiday house and I think this may be it!
I made something similar years ago for the eweekend house I shared with a boyfriend. I used 4X4 cedar posts for the legs and used pipes and flanges as spacers between them (rather than pipes as legs). I made the top out of 3 8X12X1 boards, and attached them to a skirt of 1 X 6s, which was sized to squeeze in between the legs. The top came off the base, then, for easy moving. And I only had to have the wood for the skirt cut -- everything else was off the shelf, standard lengths. Took just a few hours.

Maybe in another kind of space, like a modern loft. It looks a little too heavy here.
Yeah, it's kinda industrial and loft-y...
...but I still like it alot.
Yes! Awesome!
What about when the wood expands and contracts? Wouldn't it crack the table top eventually? Is there an easy way to keep that from happening?
I like the country look of the boards, but I don't like how thick the main legs are. I think that this kind of table base, that uses Kee Klamp would probably looks a little bit sharper.
just made a version of this with my husband yesterday!!! LOVE IT!!! thank you so much for the awesome idea.
