Glad you found it. Its very simple to make. I saw a design online that was suspended from the ceiling, and used rubber feet instead of the wide plates on the floor - that may work for you. The rubber feet for chair and table legs should fit the 1/2" pipe.
If anyone attempts this, these are my comments:
1. Home Depot Canada does not stock pipe in 8-12" lengths. Home Depot in Bellingham does.
2. Measuring is a PITA. I have no clue how any of the measurements supplied work. With those measurements it would hit a standard 8' ceiling. I had to measure to the 1/8" to get everything lined up.
3. Even with measuring, things won't line up. For instance the height of the pipes of the long bottom shelf in my project are off by 1/4" Luckily since the pipes are spaced apart there's enough flex in the board to deal with one pipe being slightly taller/shorter.
4. Cleaning and painting pipe sucks, especially in a condo. I wish I had a house or garage, I would've hung all the pipe to paint.
