Tips on How to Build Your OWn Coffee Table

Learning how to build your own coffee table is fun and can probably be the most rewarding project. What better way to entertain your friend or guest in a table that you've built yourself!

Based on experience, I didn't have a hard time constructing and with a good plan, I'm sure you can easily build your own coffee table as well.

But before you get all excited in building your own coffee table, you just need to get down these basics first.

MEASUREMENT
You have to decide on the exact measurement of the coffee table you have in mind. How big and how high do you want your coffee table? One of the best thing in building your own coffee table is that you can easily customize it to suit the look and size of your living room.

TOOLS

You'll hardly need power tools to build your own coffee table. You'll only be needing some basic hand tools which you probably have already in your house. I remember using a drill but you can just as easily use a screwdriver with bit instead.

MATERIALS

Choosing the materials to use in building a coffee table is your personal choice. Some would like glass for their table top while others, me included, likes to use wood for their coffee table.

If you are going to choose wood, you have to decide beforehand if you are going to use some finishing or paint. Some wood look best as it it while some wood needs to be painted or have applied finishing.


COFFEE TABLE DESIGN

You can easily customize your coffee table design but for basic coffee table plan, I still rely on a good and easy to follow instruction to build a coffee table. This way, I don't overlook some things right into the building process.

I'm a big fan of wood-top furniture, and as a result have quite a few coffee and end-tables made of wood. I've found that I like to use thin, closed-cell foam pads for coasters, since they're firm enough to hold a drink, won't absorb moisture, and won't ever scratch the table. All kinds of colors too!
