I was trying to replace my $20 ikea table with something a little better looking and everything was incredibly expensive. Anything I wanted was $200+

Decided to try my hand at making my own. All in cost was maybe $40 for wood and stain and $70 for the hairpin legs.

Spoiler!

Its not perfectly flat and even but thats exactly what I was looking for. I believe it was stained twice and maybe 3-4 coats of some sort of acrylic poly whatever (I should probably remember what I used exactly if I want to do this more).

Side table to match is going to be made very soon.
