Couch Table DIY

I’ve always wanted a couch table, it adds that extra seating behind your couch and doubles the seating capacity of the room. Functionality wise it’s amazing! Whether you have guests over or you just want to eat, drink and watch a game while feeling like you’re at a bar.

Material:

  • 2 – 1in x 10in x 10Ft Boards used for the top
  • 5 – 2 x 3 boards. This cut down on weight but still plenty strong. )I wish I got 1 or 2 more boards)
  • 2 – 1×2 trim boards
  • 2.5 construction screws
  • Wood Stain

Tools Needed:

Like always, I started building this before I had a chance to remember to document it. So this is where it starts. All in all, this build cost about $80-90, that is wood, screws and stain. Wood is super expensive right now!

I first cut all my pieces for the frame which measured 8ft long, 36in high, and 19in deep. On the top of my frame, there is a single piece of 2×3 that runs down the middle, not the best design but was necessary for support, if I had more wood I would have done a normal box frame for the top.

Once all the pieces were ut I added trim to the top. I also covered any holes with Super glue and wood shavings.

I had a jar of black paint which worked out perfectly for the frame.

I added a wood stain to the top, looks great but doesnt match bar stools. I’m going to take of those tops and paint them white.
