Here's a pic of the frame: https://i.imgur.com/BViZJri.jpg

The bottom rectangle is 12" x 24", and then the top/side pipes are 36" each.

It's a bunch of steel pipe from Home Depot, and sturdy enough you could do pullups on it. The pipe isn't super cheap, was around $200 total I think. I went with 1 inch diameter because it would hold the monitor arms better, but you could go thinner and cheaper with a different monitor mounting solution.

Three-quarter- or one-inch diameter EMT could give a similar look, be easier to cut (if required), be less expensive, and be strong enough. It might take a little figuring how to do the joins, but that can be the case with threaded iron pipe as well.

Somehow a search this morning sent me to Pinterest with a lot of photos of decorative knots. That might be a way to do some joins between crossbars, as well. (I hear macrame is coming back!)

I've used Maker Pipe [0] for constructing with EMT before and would recommend it.

Nice. Hacksaw, 5mm hex wrench, imagination.

Makes sense, I imagine someone with more handyman skills could get this done for 1/10th the price. The pre-threaded steel pipe has a good amount of weight to it though to keep it stable, and it took zero skill to put together :P

I think chair is the most important part. It looks so comfortable.
