She's aware each assembly will be made of four pieces, so the grain won't match *perfectly*.
Time to throw some 2x4's together and mock it up.
That looks pretty good for a mock-up. I wonder if you'll need to beef up the top section now so the overall aesthetic is good.

Yup, I'll play with it and make a couple of examples for her to choose from. That image above isn't mine; she found it online.

Oh yeah, I saw that earlier while looking into this!

I think that the inside semi circle of the apron and legs is exactly what make that design pop. You might want to consider using a 6x6 to keep the lines.
