A x console table made to fit in recessed area near dining table. This was made out of scrap and left over blue pine. Top, middle and bottom shelves were joined with biscuits and kreg screws. In order to get more dimension out of legs I made out of 1x that were ripped at 45 and then the 4 pieces were joined with biscuits. Was stained with white mini wax

So instead of using the 1x12
So instead of using the 1x12 for the shelves, you make them with (looks like) 2x3 or 2x4? I'm trying to figure out how to make mine deeper than the 16 inches it's drawn up for.

X bench plans
I ripped 1x12's down to 1x4 and then used biscuits to edge join. I used a 1x2 for the edges (face plate) to add strength. I ripped them down because I like the look of smaller width boards and also my 1x12 were a little warped. If you have autocad I can send you my plans.

I unfortunately don't have
I unfortunately don't have autocad. I did some sketching and drawings and came up with that I'm shortening the length of the table and making it deeper. It'll be 46 inches wide and 24 inches deep. I'm using 2x6 for the bottom shelves and 2x4 for the top. Where I want to put it is limited space. Thanks for the advice!
