Yes, it looks not particularly sexy but it I was made to fit and it is for sure very functional. You shall not worry about attractiveness as when I pile up on this thing TT and whatever else will be located on it then it will have completely different look and fell. My experience suggest that is a few month this thing will be coved with CD boxes in multiple layer, so you will not be seeing the thing. I am not sure you did not made a shelf or two at the bottom of the thing as the empty space looks a bit conspicuous. I presume that you have plans for it. Anyhow, I think shelves under the bottom will make the assembly more solid.

Yes, those pneumatic feet are marvelous. BTW, there are some of them with built in highs adjustment, including the auto-adjustments. I did look at them years back and they were quite expensive around $1000 for a set of 4. You need a small compressor to power this thing, get the smallest you can get but able to do 80-120pci.

The most important question how will it sound. For sure as the DIY project it is wonderful; the direct impact to sound is totally different matter. In some cases those type of tables do not have sonic effect, in some they do. It would be depending from many indigents, including type of your TT, what it will be sitting on, location in the room, type of speakers you use and many other things. I do not think that you will be able to get the direct relation between new TT and sound. I think the new table is a good based that clear some concerns and upon which it is sensible to built up your sound.
