And boxing all your open ends of tubing will increase the structural integrity of that square tubing allowing you a smaller gauge over a non structural aesthetic end cap. That is all I really have to harp on, the design is awesome.

Well said! Thanks again for the feedback... looking forward to building more of these for any interested.
