Milk Stand measurements

A fabricator responded to a craigslist ad I had and said he would build a metal stand, and for a price quote, asked for measurements. He builds them often, he says, for farms in Ohio, but he says sizes vary, and I have no idea. . .
can someone measure their regular sized stand and post those for me?

I built my stand out of wood from here... If you want metal maybe he could use these measurements.

Our milking stand is over 30 years old now and doing fine. Hubby made it out of a standard size wooden pallet that the goat jumps up on..have a ramp too..and the pallet is large enough that I can sit very comfortably to milk and give care to my goats. They aren't hard to make and I would consider giving it a try before buying one. Good Luck !!

I've built four, and they are all based on Fiasco Farm's measurements.
