Greetings,

I was considering making something very similar to this product and was going to use 3/4" pipe. From the pictures, I can't quite tell if the pipe is 3/4" or possibly 1/2." Can you let me know the diameter (maybe it is even 1").

Also, I might like to spraypaint the black pipe with an oil-rubbed-bronze spraypaint so it matches something else in the house. It would be easier to do this if I could remove the table top (it would prevent me from having to mask it off). Do you know if the tabletop can be simply screwed off or is it fairly permanently attached (like with rivets).

Thanks,

Dorothy
