Simple steel tube table legs.

Hi all, First time I've crossed the fence from the woodworking forum, hoping someone can help! I'm building an outdoor dining table for a friend, who wants metal legs! Not simply 4 legs but a steel loop at either end. Appears to be quite on trend right now. Basically (he says with no idea!) 4 pieces of square steel tube, welded to a loop at either end. I've spoken to a couple of places and the prices I've been quoted are nuts, $500+. Ideally I'd want to get these powder coated but right now trying to find someone to fabricate them. Any advice greatly received! Cheers ps based in Melbourne.
