DIY Storage Coffee Table! I found some similar coffee tables online that I loved… but I didn’t love the price points. So I decided to build one myself!

I stacked 2 24” round edge glued panels on each other, nailed and glued them together. Then added a 36” round on top! Next, I cut down 28 6’ long, 3/4” wide dowel rods to 14”. I used hot wood glue to glue them on (making sure each was level). I used 140 total 14” dowel pieces 😳.

I got wood glued them on the bottoms and sides and am shocked at how strong this glue is! I did end up flipping it upside down and adding nails through the bottom for extra stability.

Next, I added a few supports inside the table and glued stoppers to the back of another 36” round. This will be my removable top!

I caulked between every dowel, painted a base coat of tangled tan by SW in matte, then went over it with black minwax gel stain!

Once it was dry (ideally wait 72 hours) I went over it with Varathane’s crystal clear matte polyurethane.

I added some gold brushed edge banding around the base…

And I LOVE IT!

It cost me $300 in building materials and $99 in the optional (but necessary 😂) gold edge banding to build this. But $399 compared to my $2,299 same size inspo table? YES PLEASE!

Dimensions: 36” wide and 18” tall
