I hated my old flimsy coffee table and I decided that I needed another one. After searching online for tables that I could build, my wife and I came across this one. Its large, sturdy and has the underneath shelf for additional storage. Plus the styling was cool too.

Finish Used
To finish this table the first thing I did was coat the table with Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner. I did a double coat of that before I used Varathane Stain+Poly in Cabernet. I chose the semi-gloss. It took several coats before I got the color that I was happy with.
