Why did I build this project?
I wanted a place to grow a beautiful plant in my living room, as well as a good place to store my “coffee table books”. I love simple projects and using regular boards!
Why We Love This Modern Wooden Side Table
Easy to build, took me only an hour from start to finish. Solid wood construction. Built with basic tools and materials. Added a modern design element to our room. Versatile for living room, bedroom or bathroom. Practical for putting cups or adding a plant. Storage, great place to store some books
How did you build this project?
Make sure to choose nice straight boards.
Make the cuts according to the cutting list.
Attach the first two long pieces together with glue and nails. Make sure you are working on a flat surface.
Measure and mark the position of the shelves and secure them with glue and nails. I marked the inside and outside of the posts to make sure I didn’t screw up the nails and also to secure them in place after they were properly positioned.
Install the front leg, I installed the top first then checked the level on the bottom shelf. Use glue and screws.
Fill the nail holes, then sand and finish with paint or stain!
