I built this table for my wife as a surprise 50th birthday present. She had been wanting me to build her a farmhouse table and I loved this design. I allowed her to pick out the colors of stain/paint that she wanted for the finish after she unwrapped it. I actually went into sketchup and designed my own table, based on these plans, to fit into our smaller dining space. By designing it, I was also able to modify it to fit our chairs. The top is Oak with a red mohagany stain. The legs and aprons are pine and chalk painted in drop cloth...her favorite paint and color.
Great table. I already have people asking me to build them one.
