This is my 2nd table built from plans on the site. I built the pocket hole farm table originally and our family used it for 2 years and then I sold it to another family to enjoy! I built this one a full foot longer and used a 2×10 in the center to widen it. We host large gatherings so I wanted the additional space. The dark walnut came out beautiful if darker than the plan table. We love it!

Used your plans and modified with carriage bolts on the legs to attach the box to the frame. Thank you Ana, my son LOVES IT.

We wanted a round bar height dining table for our kitchen area and no one really had that. I used Ana’s wonderful plans and lengthened them with some additional support for the X-Base. My first project of this type and Ana’s site is a god send. Happy to share specifics if interested

I came up with the idea of having something on my back porch to hold all my outdoor stuff.... things I wanted handy, like Pool Towels, Gardening tools and gloves, Sunscreen and Bug Spray. I started looking around for something to buy and finally decided to look for something to build. I was looking on the HGTV website when I found this and thought it was perfect. I'm not sure what exactly made me take it one-step further, but I found a small link embedded in the article and I clicked on it, and a love affair was born. I found the Ana-White website with tons and tons and tons of plans to make all the things I've dreamed about making. So, I signed up, printed the plans and got to work. First time I have built from plans and had to work slowly and not rush to complete it the same day. Snuck away in the evening, after dinner and cleanup, and spent about an hour a night in the garage with the heat and the mosquitos. BTW, tucking dryer sheets in your clothing does really keep the critters at bay. And here is the finished product .... doing exactly what I had planned and fitting perfectly in the location I wanted. On to the next project..... I have several printed out and haven't decided which to start on..... Is it the toy box for my son's toys that scatter around the living room.... or the queen-sized Farmhouse bed for my daughter who has been begging for more sleep room. Or the bookshelves for my room..... So may choices.... and I love that about this webiste.

Easy to do though some thought required for conversion into centimetres .

With a new baby on the way, my husband, Steve and I had to move our 2yr old son out of the nursery and into his big boy bedroom. After casually looking at storage beds and falling over in shock at the prices, I came across Ana’s plans for the storage bed. Knowing that Steve is extremely handy but had not attempted to build furniture before, I started talking him into building this bed. He was sold the moment I told him that we would save close to $2400 by building it ourselves. This was a longer than anticipated project mainly due to Steve’s full time work schedule, my inablility to handle stain fumes, allowing a toddler to “help” build his bed and working around said toddler’s nap schedule. We modified Ana’s plans by adding some trim to the cubby hutch, omitting the doors on the small hutch and sizing everything to a full size bed. We also omitted the shelves on the storage headboard since we weren’t going to use them with the side towers. I am absolutely in LOVE with the final result and have a long list of other projects that we will be building in the near future.
