When it comes to interior furniture most of the time you have a couple of options, you can buy flat pack furniture the cheaper option, which always looks exactly what it is.
Alternatively you can splash the cash and purchase ready made quality furniture which will look fantastic but put a huge hole in your bank balance. Those were my options until I came across this fantastically simple how-to video, that teaches you how to make this rather classy looking modern coffee table.
Even for someone as DIY challenged as myself these easy to follow instructions enabled me to build a wonderful piece of furniture that is not only great to look at, but also brings me a lot of pride knowing that I was responsible for making it. Go ahead and give it a try you will be just as happy as I was with your results.
