This is such a beautiful coffee table! The wood grains give it such a high end appearance, and it really transforms the room. The angles give it a little more interest and detail.
But I will be honest, those angles really gave me some doubts when I was building it. See how all the top piece don't line up? And if you look close, the cross bracing wasn't perfect. I almost gave up on this project. But I pushed through and it turned out so many times better than I could have expected.
Some details that could make this project even better -
For the top, use 2x2s as breadboard ends to make the top look more interesting and finished
For the ends, use black lag screws to attach the two center stretcher pieces, so there's a hardware element showing
I used 2x4s for my base, I think it would have looked even better with 2x3s

I love console tables. They add function to just about any space, tabletop surface for temporary setting things, and they can transform a space by being the foundation for decor, art and coordinated accessories.
This console I particularly love because the chunky legs create a frame for styling decor and accessories.
More reasons to love? It's solid wood, so you can paint or stain different colors, and has all the texture and warmth of a wood piece.
How I Built This Console Table
Here's the basic steps I took to build this coffee table. Keep in mind you can also build using a brad nailer and glue as I did with this coffee table.
First, I cut the boards according to the cut list using a miter saw for accuracy.
Then I joined the tabletop and shelf 1x8s together as shown, using 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.
Then I used a scrap wood piece to trace out the end of a 2x6 pieces to cut out for the legs.
I used a jigsaw to cut out the legs from both the top and the shelf.
I cut out all four legs on both the panels.
Now I can start adding the "aprons" that support the tabletop and shelves. I measure between the cut outs and cut 1x3 for top and 1x2 for shelf to match the measurement. Then I attached to the underside of the shelf/top with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.
Then I measure in between the shorter aprons to get the measurement for the longer aprons. I cut these, and then attach with pocket holes. The top is supported by a 1x3 aprons. The bottom is supported by a 1x2 apron.
Then I add the legs to the top - making sure the tabletop is level and checking that the legs are attached level.
Last steps are to add the remaining legs and the bottom shelf. I attach to the legs using 1-1/4" screws and glue, three per joint.
Make sure the table sits flat and is level, if you need to make adjustments, do before the glue dries.

I love this plan collection! I've been adding more and more plans, it's a good one!
I have a space under out stairs in our basement entryway that I wanted to add storage for extra hats, gloves, scarves, googles, and other outdoor accessories. Because it's under the stairs, I knew I wanted a dresser that is enclosed to minimize dusting and cleaning. And it needed to be on wheels so I can roll it out and clean under it. And finally, it had to be the exact perfect size to fit.
With a tall order like this, it's impossible to get exactly what you need. So I decided to build my own dresser.
With not a ton of space to work with, but an Alaska (lifestyle) sized amount of gear to store, I knew I needed maximum storage for the footprint. No fancy trim, no bulky detailing - just all drawers in the most minimal of framing.
