  This is easily one of the most highly underrated and underappreciated videos on youtube. I spotted a handful of improvements for v2, but it's still incredible as is.

  Lovely table, lovely filming, but I am worried about the longevity of the table,  I've used that spray paint as a clear finish before and it itself is not very durable I would love to see an update after a month or two to see how the table is holding up

  Really neat take on the "river table".  However, I'm not so sure that styrofoam was the best choice as it does water log after it gets wet for a while.  You may find that there might be a mold or mildew issue down the road.  You may wind up have to redo that part.  Really looks cool though.

  Hi Drew, enjoyed the video.  How has the table aged over the last 2 years?  Any issues with Leakage, mold etc?

  When I was little, I had a dream of having a river in the backyard foyer that is connected to tap water. So when you need water, you scoop from the river instead of tap. Seeing this is sort of a confirmation that I could, maybe one day is that far future, make my dream real.

  Never in my life have I seen such a beautiful piece of furniture. I’m 77. Drew, this is incredible.

  I’d wonder if he couldn’t upscale these and to sell them to, say, Japanese restaurants and the like. I would think they’d love the inclusion of nature into the eating experience like this. But bottom line is this is absolutely beautiful. Great job Drew

  VERY interesting concept, has my wheels turning about summer projects.  Drew, if you don't mind people asking, what would you do differently if you were going to do this project again?  Do you think it would work better to set the plexiglass cover into a lip routed into the top, instead of setting it onto those padded pegs?  What could you do to make the flow look a little more turbulent?  I think a dining table version of this would be unique and mesmerizing, but it probably mean leaving out the waterfall.  I'm also kind of thinking about a "zen garden" version of this with nice rounded river stones.  Thank you so much for this great idea!

  I dunno how this was 8 months ago and hasn't hit 100k likes. That craftsmanship was phenomenal and the entire process was extremely satisfying to watch from start to finish. Well done man!
