Perfect for Weddings and Events
The inspiration behind this table was a request from a friend to create five farmhouse tables for a wedding that were sturdy, could hold up to transporting, lightweight enough to move around easily, and as inexpensive as possible. My husband and I were able to build all five in an afternoon, and my friend stained them up for her wedding

We couldn't have done with with a more complicated plan, and were very pleased with how durable yet beautiful these tables are.
Using this Table Outdoors
This table can be built for outdoor use too! We recommend swapping the 1x12 boards on top for 1x6 boards (can be 5/4 cedar deck boards for more longevity), you'll need six 1x6 boards (same 72" length) instead of the 1x12s, and leave a 1/4" gap in between the boards when you attach. Also recommend attaching with screws (exterior appropriate, about 2" length), as nails will pull out overtime in an outdoor setting. Also can use treated for the base, for even greater longevity.
