Coffee Table Build

Building a Modern Coffee Table

In this build video, I will be making a mid-century modern inspired coffee table from solid cherry wood.

The design for this modern coffee table came from a piece that my client had seen in a store somewhere. Working with a designer, we modified the original design to, in my opinion, be much better and more appealing to the eye.

This coffee table is made from solid cherry wood and is finished with a hand rubbed oil finish. The coffee table is top off with a piece of 3/8” glass.
