Built a single beam with two columns with a counter top. The reason was to break the flow of the room and also to improve acoustics. The main challenge was location to avoid two registers in the ceiling along with an outlet and two sets of light switches. long story short I ended up moving the light switches. My biggest surprise was this is the first time I've worked with MDF and absolutely love how straight and true it is.
