About This Project

My sister put in request for bigger coffee table and 2 end tables, again, the building part was not that difficult, the time consuming portion was staining. But they turned out great!

Estimated Time Investment: 
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Required Skill Level: 
Beginner
Type of Wood: 
Pine
Finish Used: 
I "distress" the wood by using a piece of chaing and just beat it until I get a desired, uniform look. I used 3 coats of stain on each piece and sealed it once complete. I did not sand between coats and I use the cheap foam brushes and just toss them after each coat.

Beautiful!

I love, love, love this larger coffee table and end tables. The stain looks great! Could you pretty please post the measurement of this table??

Coffee Table dimension

You bet, the measurements are basically double the standard coffee table plan, so 48"x48". You will have to make some changes obviously from the original plans, but I tried to put enough pictures of the process on my blog so you could get a good idea of how to do it. Thanks for looking!

Cut list

Pia, go to this link and check out my build process, I don't have a cut list, but besides the 4x4's, everything else was basically double. If you have any other questions, just let me know.

Cut list

Pia, I don't have a cut list down, but basically besides the 4x4's, everything else is double. Check out our blog and you can see the process I used. Let me know if I can answer anything else.
