Using the plans for the modern table and simple stools, I made some modifications so it could be a bar height pub table and stools. The stools took the most time, with all the supports and keeping it level. The table was easy and I am super happy with the addition of the x's on the sides. I think it gives it a more professional look. Turned out that the angle I wanted them at wasn't possible on my miter saw, so I just had to mark the angles and cut with a jig saw. Screws were overkill for them and split the wood, so finishing nails did the job. The top was salvaged from an old ugly mdf topped coffee table. I sanded it a bit and with many coats of stain, achieved a match to the rest of the wood. Yay! Breakfast nook, complete!
additional coats of clear matte poly on tops of table and stools for protection.

Nice job!
Nice job! Also looks like it'd be a great place for conversation while someone is working in the kitchen .

What are the dimensions here
What are the dimensions here for your table? I'm looking to make/get one very much like this and trying to figure out the best yet least amount of counter space needed, depth wise. Hoping 15" is enough but I love the look of yours.

So sorry for the delay! I don't get notified when there's comments, so I'm just now seeing this. The width is 4', the depth is 15" and the height is 42". Good luck!
