Hi all, need some inputs on autogate material. Was wondering which one is the cheapest and which one is the most expensive: powder-coated steel, galvanized steel, mild steel and stainless steel?

Renovation Updates - Dining Table

Finally my dining table is complete after 4 long months of waiting. 

Initially I bought this dining table 4 months ago.
They have only 5 out of 6 chairs, the balance 1 chair to be delivered later.

While waiting I discovered that the chairs I've chosen is too high for this table.   
Still usable so decided to live with it.

Then after 2 months they delivered the final chair ... the material colour is diffrent from the existing 5 chair. 
Rejected it 
(Found out that every batch from their China factory are different thus can not get exact match.)

With such development I decided to change all the chairs to a different model that has lower height.
Did not mind paying extra.
Problem - did not find the lower height chair design to my liking. 

Eventually after discussion with the store, this was decided. 
1. They will order another new batch of 6 chairs (same design) to replace my 5 existing chair.
2. They will custom make a board to install to the bottom of the table increase the height. ( I add RM100)
Adding the new board to the table base to add extra 2" to table height.

Renovation Updates - Stuffing my Understairs Store room

I was thinking to maximize the storage ability of my small triangular understairs space.
So I brought some racks and assembled myself ... sweaty work 

Before . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .After
 
..... still not enough space 

Phoenix69, may I know where did you buy these racks and the price? These are the durable type that can endure very heavy things on them, right?
Last time I saw one going for RM190 at a hardware shop. See if I can get cheaper cause planning to buy a few units.
