Tables

I had just moved into a new place and needed some living room furniture. I planned a set of three matching items – an entry table, a coffee table, and a set of shelves. The tables were simpler so I started with those. I staggered the steps, building one part of the entry table first and then afterwards doing the same for the coffee table. Because the two were so similar, I was often able to immediately apply lessons learned from one to the other.

I spent quite a while searching around for different potential designs online and ended up settling on something like this A-Frame Table for the entry table. The same basic design squashed down shorter and wider would serve for the coffee table.
