I will measure for you tonight, but I believe it overhangs about 12" on the front, maybe a little more. There is no stability issue at the front but when I open the lid all the way up it wants to tip backwards due to the weight of the lid. I had some spare free weights laying around and I just stuck those on the sides in between the freezer and the skin to balance it all out.

I did assemble most of the parts once I got it upstairs mainly due to space restrictions and carrying it up the steps. I did all the tiling once it was assembled upstairs as well. I imagine that the lid weighs close to 200lbs with the wood and tile and cement board on there. One of these days I am going to take it off and weigh it. A friend of mine said he can get me some hydraulic props to install to hold it up but needs to know the exact weight.

Thanks both of you. Jester was obviously the original inspiration.

I actually want to make the stools Ohio Bobcats but cant find any fabric. I am an OSU fan but I am an OU alumni.

I have put in a stout tap in the center since those photos were taken and added chalkboard tap handles.
