Classic Coffee Table with Two Drawers and Shelf

Confirm your actual board widths match the plan's assumptions (1x12 at 11-1/4", 1x3 at 2-1/2", 1x2 at 1-1/2", 1x6 at 5-1/2", 2x6 at 5-1/2", 1x4 at 3-1/2"). If different, rip your boards to size or adjust the plan.

Attach the bottom shelf supports to the underside of the 1x12 shelf boards with 1-1/4" finish nails and glue, adjusting for square.

Mark all legs 4-3/4" from the base and attach to the bottom shelf with glue and either nails or pocket holes, keeping the legs square.

Attach the back and side aprons to the legs, then attach the trim pieces.

Assemble the drawer framing rails and cross pieces into two drawer bays sized for 16" euro-style drawer slides.

Build the drawer boxes with brad nails and glue, attaching bottoms with brad nails and glue. Install on the drawer slides.

Attach the five top boards, then measure and cut the two end pieces to fit against the assembled base, cutting as you go for best fit. Attach with pocket holes and glue.

Attach the drawer faces with an even reveal gap and add knobs. Sand all surfaces and apply primer and paint, or stain and poly.
