This was the first building project I completed by myself start to finish! I was able to use 2x4s we already had in the garage (sorry husband!) and some scrap wood for the few other pieces it required. The only thing I added to the plans was some trim for the front.
I built this last summer and since then the shelf on the very top has warped a bit. I would recommend adding extra support. It rains a lot here, and I think that contributed to it warping. Other than that, it has held up very well and the shelf can easily be fixed with some brackets.
Overall, this was a great first build for me! The plans were straightforward and easy to follow. And there's just nothing more rewarding than standing back at the end of a day of building and thinking, Hey I made that :)

So pretty!
This looks awesome, I wasn't planning on building the console table to match my coffee table, but after seeing how yours turned out I might have to work on this next! I love the cool finish that you did!

Thank you! You should do it, it would complement your gorgeous coffee table and end tables nicely. :)
