Thank you for generously sharing these plans. My husband built this for our 9 year old. It's beautiful and perfect!
Thanks again!
These (matching set) were a pretty straightforward build based on the Reclaimed Wood Night Stands. http://ana-white.com/2011/08/reclaimed-wood-night-stand. The hardware I used was designed to match the Printer's Console that I built previously. I cheaped out on the drawer slides, which I wouldn't recommend doing because it gives the drawers a cheap feel to them. Plus, there's not that much of a price difference.

Hello, your project looks nice. Did you use regular #2 lumber from Home Depot or Lowes? If so how are they holding up?

But yes the lumber was straight outta Home Depot. I would say its doing pretty good at this point. It sees pretty light duty (e.g. alarm clock, books and glasses of water), but no water rings. I did throw a number of coats on the top of it though. It's soft wood, so if you wanted to you could engrave your name with your thumbnail. You just have to resist the urge.
I used Shelf Help for the plywood pieces, then planked the sides with some 1x's, and added a face frame for the top edge. Casters allow for it to be moved easily and cleaned under. This is a great way to add extra storage under the pantry shelves and this design is super easy to modify for any size and height!

Surfed the site for the right plans and dove right in. Thank you for the inspiration all!

I have clicked on the link the plans are not there.
Had a blast with this project and am getting more confident with drawer slides. I built a matching dresser that is much shorter and wider. It can be found here: http://www.ana-white.com/2018/08/DIY_furniture/bedroom-dresser

I must be missing the link to the plans for the dresser. Sorry, could you help me find the plans?
Wed, 09/30/2020 - 17:13
I would also like the plans?? Any help finding the link?
Mon, 12/28/2020 - 11:12
Are the plans available for this piece? Its beautiful! If so, please let me know.
Thu, 08/12/2021 - 15:35
Any way to get a copy of these plans? I really like the look and want to give it a shot. Have to make a few of these if all goes well for all my boys.
Thanks
Entire wall fireplace built-in!
I love this workbench! I added casters so I can move it around the garage, outside, wherever it's needed. I just took 4 inches off the bottom of the legs. My hubby is admiring my handy work and planning on making one for himself.

Love this with the casters! So beautiful. I'm new here and wondering at what point you took 4 inches off the legs. Did you build the table and then just cut off the legs? Or did you adjust the measurements of the cuts? Thanks in advance! :)

The overall height of a 4-inch caster wheel is a little over 5 inches with the mounting bracket, so that also needs to be taken in to consideration. 2nd photo shows the overall dimensions, but to me the bracket and brake area appear to be a bit more than 1.03 inches. https://amzn.to/3DkMKzB
I think the best bet would be to have and measure the overall wheel height, prior to measuring and cutting the lumber.
This was one heck of a project LOL! But I am so pleased with the results!!

It looks awesome. I really like the built in look!!!

This excites me!! :) Such a great idea - practical, and yet pretty!

My washer will shake on the metal pedestals. Will it shake on this one?
Mon, 12/31/2012 - 19:01
My husband just finished one similar to this for me today-total cost about $65.....Thank you for the fabulous & frugal idea!!
Wed, 06/19/2013 - 11:33
Do you have the plans posted for the washer dryer pedestals?

Please help me find out where to get plan specifics, new here

I modified this chair with 2x4's as the base and 2x2 for decoration on arms, this is prior to sanding and finishing
This has become my dream sewing/craft desk!! This project took about a week from start to finish (with work days in between). The shorter portion of the desk is used for my machine and sewing. The taller portion is used as a cutting table. The plans (dimensions) were tweaked some to get the perfect heights for me :).
Wed, 03/25/2015 - 06:31
Your desk is GORGEOUS!!!! It's exactly what I've been looking to build for my space. I would love to know how you modified the plan to make it.
Wed, 03/25/2015 - 07:21
I need to modify my home office/craft space and building a couple of these just may do the trick.
Wed, 03/25/2015 - 07:23
I also wanted to comment on the thread shelf you build, that is really awesome, you can see all your colors right in front of you. Mine are in a drawer and I have to pull the whole thing out to see what I need. This is really giving me ideas.

Would you please send the plan instructions (with measurments). It is perfect for me as I sew and embrodery both and have two machines.
I built a wooden toy truck using a leftover 1x4 board in my garage. For this build I used Ana White's plans for the wood wheelie cars. This was a quick and easy project and my first project using my scroll saw. Not too shabby for my first go at toy making. However, I am not happy with the finished toy. If I did it all over again, I would take my time with the finish. Also, the driver was not perpendicular to the truck's body when I created the holes for the axles, so the truck leans slightly. My son does not seem to notice its flaws, so I will try to overlook them as well! Check out the blog link for more project details!
I followed your idea but i think my bench is a touch smaller. I decided to add arm rests on each end, I kept the top beverage ledge or "Bever-ledge" as I call it and ofcourse I added rope lighting along the underside. This was my first ever DIY project.
We needed to fill the corner in the house, wasn’t sure what project to do forever! We liked the look of the rustic furnitures and decided to go forward with this truss shelf design.
We used a crackle paint with a black base and turquoise top layer and finished the wood planks with a pickling solution to weather the wood.
Let me know what you think.
Maldonado thanks for the prints for this awesome design!
My daughter moved into her first apartment and asked me to make her a dining room table. I used the plans found on Ana's website and made a slight modifcations. I used 5/4" pine boards to build the tops and regular douglas fir 4x4s and 2x4s for the bases. All screws are hidden exept the lag bolts I painted black and used to bolt the end trusses to the center truss which gives it kind of a industrial type accent. Thanks to Ana White and Shanty 2 CHIC for the great plans. My daughter loved the table and bench and she is going to find chair for the other side of the table.
Ana, you're the BEST!! Thank you so much for sharing these plans. This was a very simple build ... my problem was trying to decide how to paint and decorate it. There's a lady in our little town that cut out the letters for me. I think it turned out so cute. I'm working on a Christmas collection for our church auction next April and thought it would be fun to have Christmas in April :-). Thanks again Ana!!!
I found a picture of this style of chairs, and I really wanted to make them for my table. I created my own plans and adjusted them until they were perfect. I’ve since made several sets of chairs for other people including this set of 6.

I'd love to make these for my parents, do you have the plans?
Fabulous home gym by Nailgun Nelly!
*Incorporated and modified the grand waterfall console plan
My 16-year-old son is home every other day for school with an on-line course he is taking. We started working on projects we both wanted to learn from cooking to woodworking projects. This is the very first project we made. We are both very proud and pleased with the simple directions, minimal tools required, and beautiful results. We used an early American stain and lacquer finish. We have received many compliments on it. Thank you for giving us something to build our relationship and home with.

Thank you for sharing, I love hearing about the time spent together and the project looks amazing!
I built this fold-up desk, out of sheer necessity. It's rather unassuming when closed, yet fully functional when open, with built-in power outlets and light, a large screen, a nook for the laptop and the chargers, etc. It's tailored to my needs and specific size limitations, but I think you could make a great general plan of it for anyone needing a small-space hideaway desk.
