Looks great.
Leave a 1/4" of the DOM tube sticking up above the brackets and do a fillet weld between it and the plate brackets. Far stronger than an edge weld you would have if the DOM tube was flush with the brackets. Last thing you want is that thing cracking a weld and parts coming loose when you need them most.
