I made this little table for my sister-in-law. She needed a specific size to fit in between some bookshelves. She is going to put a lovely fish bowl on top. It cost me about $10 for the wood and paint. I modified Ana's plans for the "simple, cheap and easy console table" to fit the space.

Estimated Cost
$5 for lumber, about $10 total with other materials.
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
I used Rustoleum Gloss Black paint/primer in one. Then I used minwax polycrylic.
