DIY Hallway Table with Mortise and Tenon Joinery

I built a walnut hallway table! I’ve made tables in a similar style before so I changed up a few things to make this project even extra fun. I used traditional mortise and tenon joints for the construction. And I made some really cool breadboard ends on the shelf.

The table size is approximately 36” tall x 48” long x 12” deep.
