DIY Pottery Barn Inspired Benchright Side Table

She did it again!  Our sweet friend Ana designed plans for the Pottery Barn Benchwright Side Tables!  I thought they would be the perfect addition to the Tryde Coffee Table I built for our living room.

This is Pottery Barns version:  On SALE for $349.

With Ana’s plans, I built two for $25 each!

Here are some pics of my build process:)

I followed Ana’s advice and tied a string around a nail to draw my guide circle. This made cutting the table tops very easy!  I used my Dremel Trio to cut the circles.

You do not have to use the Kreg Jig pocket hole system to build these tables but it DOES make it easier to build and very sturdy!

To finish, I sprayed a couple of coats of Rust-Oleum Heirloom White spary paint,

distressed the edges with 80-grit sandpaper and followed with a tiny bit of Rust-Oleum Dark Walnut Stain.

I’m so in love with these unique-looking tables:)

and I love how they play off of my Tryde Coffee Table!

 

I was very intimidated to build these tables because of the round tops and angled legs.  I am so glad that I didn’t shy away because I learned a lot during the build process and I now have two great side tables to show off at only $25 each!  For the Benchright Side Table plans click HERE!

If you love these, I would LOVE pins below!

Thanks so much:)
