I question the longevity of that leg joint. Because it's at an angle, the leg is loaded in bending. That's good in that the static load takes up the slack inherent in that slot joint, but I can see...

Apparently most AT readers, just like economists, know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

The best looking one I've seen is also the cheapest, the Moddi Ikea hack, approximately $200: http://www.mod...
