Coffee tables are a staple of any living room, but sometimes the standard height just doesn't cut it. That's where a low coffee table comes in handy. In this guide, we'll show you how to make your very own low coffee table with just a few materials and tools.
Materials Needed:
- Particleboard 12x1200x2500mm
- 4 cans (or cast pipes)
- Assembly glue
- Smack fine
- Sandpaper
- Matte black color
- Protective wax
How to Make a Low Coffee Table:
- Start by sawing the particleboard into two parts and then glueing them together with assembly glue. This will create a board that is 24mm thick.
- Once the glue has dried, saw out the shape of your desired table. Be sure to measure and mark everything carefully before cutting.
- Use four cans (or cast pipes) as the legs of the table. Attach them to the bottom of the particleboard using assembly glue.
- Cover the entire table, including the legs, with Smack fine. This will create a smooth surface that's perfect for painting.
- Once the Smack fine has dried, sand the surface completely smooth. You can leave the legs with the texture you chose or sand them down as well.
- Apply a coat of matte black color to the entire table, including the legs. Once that's dried, apply a coat of protective wax to seal the paint and protect the table.
There you have it, your very own low coffee table! This simple and affordable DIY project can add a unique touch to your living room, and it's easy to customize with different paint colors and leg options.
