Steel frame (homebuilt)

I'm currently building a home 7' table, designed to hold a K-pattern slate. Since I've never had a level floor in any house I've lived in, I'm using a steel frame design rather than the typical joists-in-box design.

2 x 2 square steel tubing, 1/8 thick, held together with 3/8" grade-5 bolts. I've attached a couple of pics (excuse my poor photography skills). If anyone has used this design and run into problems, please post up.

So far level and rock steady.
 
Pic files were too big to be accepted.

Nonetheless, would be interested in hearing from anyone who has done steel-frame construction.
 
could you resize your pics? I'm eager to take a look. Or send to my email (hope you can find it in my profile). I was considering standard wooden frame for my future table but would like to learn smth about steel as well.
