This was my first project and I wanted to surprise my fiance for her birthday. The hardest part was keeping her out of the garage! I used the plans for the iTable and it was really easy to follow even for a rookie like me. I adjusted the dimesions a bit because 40' would've been awkward for our living room. It ended up being about 34 1/2 or so and I also used 1x10's instead and made the legs 18' so it matched our couch's height. Fun fact: don't forget to factor in the width of your saw blade when cutting..I botched the first cut by about 1/8 BUT did that for the rest so it still ended up being square lol. Anyways, hope you like it and I'm looking for a new project already! Cheers!
