DIY Coffee Table

Moving out meant I needed a lot of furniture I had never needed before: a couch, a kitchen table, a book case, and (of course) a coffee table. I've always wanted a cool coffee table and I fell in love with this one from World Market.

Unfortunately, this table is $280.

So, as much as I liked this, I knew there was a cheaper solution.

A month of thinking and a lot of hard work later, this was made:

This table started off as a palette(1) that I then cut down(2). I used some of the spare pieces of wood to create a shelf underneath the table(4). I bought some legs (welding steel) and attached them to the table(3).

Total cost for this table:

$25

And I think it looks great in my living room
