How to Build a DIY Farmhouse Dining Table
I am sooooo excited to share the newest Ana White plans with you guys today! This is my very favorite build yet!
I have been in serious need for a hardwood outdoor table to seat my family of 7. When we stumbled upon a beautiful, long farmhouse table from Anthropologie, I knew it was love at first sight.
Everything was perfect about this rustic dining table, except that $2,000 price tag. Ouch! That hurts to even write. But… I knew who to call to help me make my own at a very small fraction of that cost!
Here is our knock off version…
I will share a few pics from my dining room table build, and you can checkout the full set of plans for this table HERE on Ana’s site!
Let me start with price….
$65 and all built with pine framing lumber!
How great is that?? It was a super easy piece of furniture to build as well.
I used Gorilla Wood Glue and deck screws for most of the construction! 😉
I also used my Kreg Jig® on a few parts!
For those of you on the fence about finally purchasing one of these, go for it! This tool is AMAZING, and has been life changing for me! It has enabled me to furnish my entire home for very little cost. It’s a small investment with a HUGE return. You will thank us! I suggest getting them from Amazon! Ash and I are Amazon junkies… Best prices and free shipping… WIN WIN! Here is a link to the model Ash and I use below!
That kit is really everything you will ever need, other than screws as you run low!
I LOVE, LOVE the results and the price for this solid wood table!! This table can be modified to an outdoor table by just spacing your top boards a bit more apart.
To finish it off, I stained the whole thing with Rust-Oleum Ultimate Wood Stain in Dark Walnut. This is definitely one of our top picks for stain! It adds a good warmth and rustic feel and compliments a wide variety of interior design style.
To protect that, I added two coats of Spar Varnish on the table top.
Want to see a few more pics?? Yah.. Me too! 😉
What do you think??
Did I mention $65???
Yah… I think the price makes me love it even more!

Very cool and I love the finish!
This is gorgeous! I want my hubby to make one. What stain did you use? I saw it on pinterest and am repinning!
Thanks Danielle!
I used a semi-transparent outdoor stain tinted to a color called espresso. Found it at Lowe’s!
What type of wood did you use?
Seriously…. Love, love. I saw it already pinned on pinterest and I hurried over to my Flipboard to see it! Amazing as always.
How did you secure the top to the legs?
This is awesome, my favorite so far!! I can’t believe you made if for 65$, nice job!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS TABLE AND IT DOESNT BREAK THE BANK TO BUILD IT….CAN’T WAIT TO GET OUR BARN BUILT SO I CAN START BUILDING NEW FURNITURE ITEMS FOR OUR NEW BARN HOUSE WE RE GONNA BUILD NEXT YEAR..!
Oh my, I really like this table, alot! I would even like it for an indoor table. Great job on building it!!! I also really liked your family/picture blocks that you posted…they are awesome and on my list for next project. Keep up the great work, yours and ana’s projects are so inspiring.
That’s beautiful!!!!!! I LOVE it!
Love love love! This looks like my 40th birthday present! Great job! Did you use pressure treated wood?
We have a large covered patio. I decided to use plain old pine. I did use an outdoor stain/sealant in one to finish it off. Hope this helps!
So….. if you were making this to go in an uncovered patio, would you still use the ordinary pine? P.s. love it and the price tag !!!!
SOO BRILLIANT!! I love this…and looks like even a novice like me could build it!!
Thanks for sharing
