After repurposing my vintage trunk, I was out a coffee table. I can’t live without a place to set my coffee and laptop every morning so I got to work building what I thought was the perfect coffee table!
I modified Ana’s plans a bit to fit my couch. We have a sectional that is equal on both sides and if any of you have the same then you know our pain in finding a square coffee table. Of course, the plans were for a rectangle so I had to do some calculations to get a square table.
Here are pics of the steps I took as I went:
Pre-drill all of your screw holes to prevent the wood from splitting.
I used Gorilla Glue Wood Glue to join every piece.
Lookin’ like a table now:)
After supports
Trim pieces
Wood putty the screw holes. I used Elmer’s Stainable Wood Filler.
Sand the rough edges and wood putty after it dries.
That was it for the building! It was not difficult and I finished it in an afternoon. How did I finish it? I do love what I did with it and that is a tutorial in itself so I will be back to share that you all very soon!

Can you please post the plans and supply list for your square version?! I love it! Just finished building my own bed!!
???Super excited because I built this myself and it turned out so beautifully! SO happy! I used the plans at WoodworkPlans.info to build mine – I highly recommend you visit that website and check their plans out too. They are detailed and super easy to read and understand unlike several others I found online. The amount of plans there is mind-boggling… there’s like 16,000 plans or something like that for tons of different projects. Definitely enough to keep me busy with projects for many more years to come haha ???
