Prior to starting this project, check the dimensions and cut list.
Once your frame pieces are cut, attach the top & bottom panels to the side panels using wood glue and 1 1/4" pocket hole screws.
Add the shelf to the frame by using wood glue and pocket hole screws. You will need a compact drill here in order to get the screws in. If you do not have a compact drill, you can also use brad nails and wood glue to attach the shelf from the sides. Make sure to attach the frame 5 1/2" up to make room for the drawer.
Attach the back panel of the table to the frame underneath the shelf. You can attach this piece with pocket holes in the back. Use wood glue and 1 1/4" screws to adhere.
Install the drawer by adding 6" long drawer slides to the frame. Follow the directions provided with your drawer slides for installation.
Fill all pocket holes and sand down the table. Once sanded, stain the piece and add hardware and legs (you can find links for the products I used on my blog).
