I wanted to build a table and chairs for my daughters wedding shower gift so i printed the coffee table plans and modified it to make the dining table. We just measured my sisters chairs and built the chairs.All of the lumber is white pine.We used 2x4s for the legs and frame, 2x10's for the top and 2x2's for a crossbrace under the table. The chairs are 2x4's ripped on the table saw to 2x2's with 1x4's for the seat. we routed the edge of the table and all pieces on the chairs.I spent $50 on the lumber on Monday and had it finished by Saturday for her shower. It is minwax red mahogany brushed on and wiped off and 2 coats of gloss polyuretane. It needs a couple more coats on the table top and the seats for a smoother finish. Lydia and Adam were thrilled, as was their friend who had us build her one just like it. She wanted hers in white pine with no stain and it has 4 coats of polyurethane for a very smooth finish. I love that we built a gift that will last them a lifetime!

Absolutely gorgeous!
Absolutely gorgeous! Great job and I love the price, too!
I am so excited - I'm going to finally get a kreg jig in the next few weeks and now I will have to add this beautiful project to my growing list of things to build!
