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!
If you do love it, I would SO appreciate some PINS and shares below!

This table is gorgeous!! What stain did you use?? You guys did such a fantastic job!
Thanks Nicole! I used a semi-transparent outdoor stain tinted to the color espresso. Found it at Lowe’s! Hope this helps 🙂
This is absolutely gorgeous! Now to find the time to make my own!
Wow, that’s the cutest DYI table I’ve seen and so easy and straightforward to make. Wish I needed a new table at the cottage,or maybe a tree will fall on the old one he he! This definitely makes my pinterest board.
AWESOME job! Love the table! Thanks so much for sharing!! Can’t wait to see the next item you have up your sleeve! 😉
Oh my gracious !!! Love this table!!!
I have to make one!!! What did you do for seating? Benches ?
Id love to see plans for that !!!
So awesome !! Great job !!
I will share those soon ;-)!!
Holy hell! Seriously, Whitney?! You are never short of amazing. Love the table. If you want to come over and build me one, I’ll be happy open a bottle of wine and watch you get after it! Love you, friend!!
Hahaha this one made me lol 🙂 Thank you friend!
I love the table…but for $65? What type of wood did you use? I like red cedar for outside projects, but I know that red cedar would be quite a bit more. Is there a wood that would weather the elements as well as red cedar but cost much less?
Awesome! I told my hubby I want one! One of these days I’m gonna just make something myself – if I can get away with using his tools!
Can you tell me what stain you used? This is gorgeous!
I used a semi-transparent outdoor stain tinted to the color espresso. Found it at Lowe’s! Thanks!
AMAZING! I absolutely love this! I love Ana, and bless you for building all this stuff for her 🙂

I LOVE the table I built, but I used a different plan that’s a bit better than the one on this website. I’m obsessed with mine! I built my own using the plans at www. WoodworkPlans.info – highly recommended you check those 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

Great job, girls! It’s stunning! Love that Ana, you all make a fab team together! XO
Thank you girls!! 🙂
Would you happen to have a cut list for the same style but 6ft table and
How do I secure the 2×10’s for the top?
Did you figure it out? We are at this part right now ?
I used 2” screws and went from the top down into the base. I filled my holes after and you wouldn’t even guess there’s screws there.
Is it possible to use pocket holes on the sides??
LOVE IT! Wish I needed a table and could justify making this. Thanks for sharing this fabulous DIY knock-off!
