This DIY Console Table Project will show you how to take a $40 pile of wood and turn it into a beautiful piece of furniture in just about 4 hours!
Do you like my new sofa table? It only took me about 4 hours to make, and it cost about $40. (The finishing is what took me the longest!!!) I made it without the help of my hubby, A.K.A. “The Drill Sargent” and I’m super happy with the results! I will link to the written instructions at the bottom of this post, but take a look at the progress images –
