The original (project from That's My Letter) was longer, deeper, and had two doors. I needed something smaller and narrower to fit the space and hold a tv. By cutting down the size, I was also able to make this using 1 sheet of 3/4 inch plywood instead of 2. After painting the aluminum hardware and pulley wheels, I learned that I probably could have had them powder coated by a family member. Unless you don't mind some of the paint coming off where the wheels rub, I would suggest trying powder coating or some more durable finish. Since it's a rustic look, I guess it doesn't matter all that much if some paint comes off. I used an off-brand pocket hole jig to construct the stand.

Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)

Rust-Oleum ultimate stain in wheat, bright white paint distressed a bit, dark brown glaze over it all, and Varathane water-based poly in satin.

Love it! It looks great! What did you use for the sliding track, rollers etc. or did you buy a kit?
