Mine is quite a bit "heavier..."

More like this one...

This is not a pic of mine (it was dark when I got home, so I didn't photo it yet).

But mine is built of 4x4s for the knee braces and 2x6 for the back boards and top boards, with 2x3s for the cross boards. About the same "weights" as the one in this pic. But different styling.

The part I loved is when the "admiral" came out to check on progress, she loved the bevel cuts on the ends of all the cross boards and said "These look store bought..." I said "Sure, they're perfect!" I had set up a jig on the table saw to ensure that all the pieces would be be cut exactly the same and sure enough the look was perfect.
