Sounds like it would hold, BUT....

It seems to me that one missing piece is the drainage.  What about moisture
accumulated inside the legs?  Where is it going to go?  I live in Minnesota.
Those legs would fill with water (even from condensation) and split
end-to-end at the first hard frost and right at the transition from concrete
(glue?) to air

Florida or Texas might be a good gamble.  Anywhere else and you are on your
own...
