I built this coffee table in an afternoon, following the plans exactly. Super fun and easy build. I sanded the heck out of the coffee table and stained the base and top with Varathane Kona Stain. I then painted the coffee table with dilute Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in French Linen and dry brushed with ASCP in Old White. When dry, I sanded here and there to enhance the rustic look. I then finished with Minwax Polycrylic and assembled the top to the base in my living room...it's heavy! Love it:-)
