How to make a do-it-yourself country coffee table

A coffee table is a roomy and functional piece of furniture. He is able to complement the atmosphere of the room with comfort and coziness. An original and unique coffee table, which can create the main motive or emphasize the general style of the room, is easy to do with your own hands. To make it, you will need four wooden boxes and very little time.

1. Prepare the material

Finish the surface: if necessary, plan and sand.

Wash and dry the drawers.

2. We paint

Paint the workpieces. To protect the wood, apply two coats of paint. Before applying the second coat, make sure that the surface is completely dry.

3. Install the boxes

Put the boxes as follows:

This design provides maximum table capacity. The empty space in the middle will need to be closed (for example, with a regular MDF sheet).

4. We fix from the inside

Fasten the drawers using the L - shaped brackets. The brackets must be fixed in the central part so that they are inside, and each of the boxes should be connected to the next.

5. And from the outside

On the outside of the future table, attach the boxes to each other using two or three self-tapping screws. This will give the construction additional strength.

6. Fasten the legs

Attach the legs to the bottom of the table with screws or screws. For stability, they should be mounted at the corners of the table.

7. We process the table with a protective spray

Treat the entire surface of the table with a spray of silicone. This will protect the tree and allow the product to last as long as possible.

8. Close the hole in the middle

Measure the length and width of the hole in the center of the table. Cut a smaller rectangle out of a suitable material (plywood or MDF) (so that it fits easily into the hole).
