For an even more customizable solution check out 8020(1)

They’re not cheap, but they have engineers on staff who will help you finalize your project.

I’ve used them for several things in the past and have been quite happy.

This is, in fact, just a (more expensive) version of 80/20 Ready-Tube with a wooden option, which is really nice (80/20 is aluminum only). It should be compatible with existing 80/20 hardware.

80/20 also offers project plans for some furniture: https://8020.net/xdiy1601

Wow, I made an account to download the BoM and that coffee table’s total price of materials is $1108 and the end table is $1378. I was expecting less than half that.

If I have to almost design my coffee table from scratch, including sawing all the pieces to length, then I don't really expect the parts to cost much more than $30. The real investment was my time...

You can buy 8020 compatible stuff from other retailers for much cheaper.
