Do you hate the flimsy quality of most furniture you find in stores? Yes, it annoys me too.
Recently my wife and I went shopping for a new coffee table.
I couldn't fathom the thought of spending several hundred dollars on such a slapped together piece of junk! So I set out to build my own table.
Building a coffee table is easier than you might think.
Especially if you consider yourself a do-it-yourselfer.
What makes building a coffee table so much easier than other pieces of furniture that doesn't require a lot of materials to make.
In fact you can even use recycled materials possibly found in your home.
A coffee table doesn't necessarily have to be made completely out of what.
Although this is the most common building material, and probably the cheapest, that you will find at your local hardware store.
But there are a few other places you can go to look for materials to build your table with.
For one, you can head to an antique store and see what they have in their that might be the same size as a living room table.
You can easily repurpose this item cannot top, such as a glass top, turn it into your ideal living room focal point.
This might take a little bit creativity, but if you don't fancy yourself a do-it-yourselfer, this is easier than building a table out of wood.
However, if you do intend to build your own then it is best that you find a guide or set of plans to show you step-by-step how to complete this project.
