Are the materials and construction of this product of such lofty quality that a low budget alternative cannot be easily constructed?

There are two right answers for this question; the first, in regards to its built quality, I would say although it's not as good looking as the SubDude made by the same company, the product covers all the quality needs required to fulfill its function and disappear under a subwoofer, that being said, I'll give you the second answer, If you are the sort of DIY kind of person, all you will need is a piece of MDF the size of your Sub's footprint, enough carpet to cover it and three lengths of High Density Foam to carry the load of the MDF. How that turns out, well it depends on your skills.

I wouldn't.... Its pretty sturdy and is well designed. Really take the low rumble away.

Possibly / probably ... If you have a source for the proper density foam . For that matter , why not just use a couple of old phone books ??? I have , and the Gramma is far superior , it's the right tool for the job . See JLIT's response ....

Yes, you can. And lots of tools and other stuff, too. I love it. The color fits in with my backyard and so it does not stand out obnoxiously. Easy to put together. A great product professionally designed and constructed.

Not with what is provided but I don't think it would be difficult to rig something up, especially if you're the least bit handy.

I am not aware about the technical details of construction but it is not real wood, if that answers the question. This might be a question for the manufacturer. It looks quite good and serves the purpose. We don't move it around too much either.

Yes, it's very sturdy. The design is very open and airy so that it doesn't look bulky and heavy. The only trouble I had assembling it was that I was by myself. It's doable but would be easier with someone to help you. Screwing the chair cushion was a little difficult. Over all, I'm happy with it.

I really don't know how to answer your question, since we all have different taste. I think it is a matter of choice. Either material should be sturdy.

No, unfortunately it isn't built that way. It's very well made, but it is plastic/PVC and it wouldn't be very easy to join the vertical pieces together seamlessly. Each vertical piece slides through the horizontal pieces and they rest in the bottom piece. The horizontal pieces nest in the vertical side pieces. If I were you, I would contact the company. Based on the packaging and the craftsmanship of the one I bought, it seems to me that they are a small American company that could potentially make you a custom trellis if you asked nicely! It would just need vertical pieces that were the proper height for your needs and a few extra horizontal pieces. Might even be cheaper than buying two! No, unfortunately it isn't built that way.

It is not real hardwood, but from a quality, weight, and finish standpoint it appears to be of high quality. It is hard to assess longevity at this juncture. To my opinion, purchase of this product should be in light of its price, as similar hard wood items are expected to cost in excess of $1,000. I went through the same deliberation and am happy for this product, feeling that it was a fantastic purchase FOR THE PRICE.

This is a quality piece and therefore quite heavy. You certainly could break it down and reassemble but I wouldn't say it would be done quickly and easily.
1250243
Yes butthey are really not very hard to assemble. The instructions and assemblly pictures are on point.

I believe so! It's perfect...the only thing is make sure you build it on your own..don't follow those instructions. .you be wasting your time..:)

Yes but for an additional cost. It is not hard to put together. Probably about an hour or so.
1586969
Yes it is. But it is very sturdy and would not even require it. Looks only. Its a very dense fiber material.
1600866
In my opinion, yes. It is definitely constructed more than strong enough for that purpose. :)

No. And the construction process was arduous but worth it. It took me about give hours to put it together. So budget your time/cost benefit analysis accordingly.

Yes, the quality is quite good. Mostly wood. I believe the decorative moulding around the top and bottom is MDF, but overall it is well made and sturdy.

No, I do not believe it would hold that much weight without bracing it yourself. Bracing would be pretty easy.
