A friend showed me a picture of a coffee table and asked if I'd build her one. It was very similar to this plan and she loved it, so I gave it a go. I had my table top boards run through a thickness planer and a jointer before assembling. The table top is attached to the base with "z" clips which will allow the wood to expand if needed. The "X's" on the side gave me a little trouble but that's likely because I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist and I needed them to be "just so". ;)
I was happy with the finished piece and my friend was thrilled. :)
