Looks fantastic, a great design too. Have you considered real wood veneers?

Well I finished most of it two days ago all that's left is to wire LEDs to switch which I will hide on back side of table between seat and table and Im waiting for 1/2" chrome trim to come in so I can finish tray and large cup holder
I was gonna wait to post pics until but it still didn't come in so here's what I got so far
I'm pretty impressed with the 3m vinyl I used for woodgrain
