I ended up with dimensions taken from the first photo, construction similar to the video. I ripped an inch off the 1x4s to yield slats 2.5" wide. Two across the bottom, three up each side. For space between them, I just used a couple of nickles. The slats are about 3/8" thick and the end panels closer to 5/8". I did not make the end panels swivel legs, they are just two halves on each end. Overlapped the slats about 1/4" (spaced with a 5mm piece of plywood). Layout of the end panels just sketched out. Middle support leg ended up being 5x7 based on width of bottom and need for support. The one thing I wish I'd done differently is to cut out the slot for the handles before putting the whole thing together. Would have been much easier when all the ends were together. And not put so much carpet tape on the ends -- they were tough to get apart.

However, my nephew is now 2 years sober after having a problem with alcohol. Being a bartender at a country club was not the best vocation for him. He's doing real estate now.
