That looks perfectly OK and I'm sure it does what you designed it for, which is the main thing for functional designs. What do you think is wrong with it?

Well for one the yellow speed stripes need removing lol, its just the finish I suppose it took a lot of sanding lol. Using the skill saw to cut the bits needed didn't do a good job or I didn't

There is a comforting tradition that only Allah is allowed complete perfection.
I have noticed that when I'm doing something, like decorating or making things, at the time of doing it' I'm focused on the job, so notice all the 'problems', but 4 weeks later when it's done and dusted, I don't see all the flaws, You made the stand, so are familiar with all the wee errors, but I'm sure it functions perfectly and others don't see the errors.
As for the green stripe, it is an unique style. It adds a bit of quirkyness to it. I think they look great!! You might start a retro trend. I hope you feel more comfortable about what you made. it's great!!!!

My advice would be to go and spend some money on a couple of courses. Especially one making some kind of box or furniture where marking out is a key skill and a great thing to learn. "Simple" stuff is only simple when you a) know what needs to be done b) can do it without to much effort. Techniques like sawing a straight line etc. are really tested and improved and doing it in a safe environment with someone to help is money well spent, in my opinion. You can also gauge your skill level against others on the course and the tutor and work out how far you have to / want to go.
