Learn how to build this DIY Cooler Coffee Table for under $65, with just a few tools, free plans and a how-to video by Shanty2Chic!

Hey friends! Whitney and I teamed up with our friends at KregTool to bring you this fun project to kick off the summer!

I have always wanted an outdoor coffee table with a built-in cooler. My old store-bought patio table was looking pretty shabby so, I used that as an opportunity to build and design exactly what I wanted!

It’s the perfect example of combining form and function for me! I love the modern frame and I love how it ties in with my outdoor sofa!

I designed the middle pine board on the table top to slide up, off of dowels, to reveal storage for a beverage cooler.

This is a very simple build, perfect for beginners and only requires basic woodworking skills.

Come build it with us in Whitney’s workshop! Just click the play button below for the how-to video tutorial!

I just love how this Patio Cooler Table turned out!

The possibilities are endless! Make sure to head over to KregTools to get the full instructions, free printable plans and their YouTube Channel for the complete how-to video!

Happy Building!
