This was my first plan to be put together using Sketchup before assembling it–We needed a table for my son’s nursery, and I wanted it to be something that fit below his window and ran the length of it

Overall cost: $$. Lumber varies by region, species, and season, so we give a band rather than a figure.
·Start by creating the two sides of the table using two pocket hole screws in either end of the end pieces (a total of four screws in each end piece. Complete the base by attaching the stretchers at the top and bottom in like manner.
Assemble the table top pieces as shown—four long boards bracketed at either end by the short boards. Put two pocket holes into each end of the long boards on what will be the bottom of your table top. Use pocket hole screws to attach the long boards square to the short boards.
Center the top on the base. Clamp it down, then attach the top to the base using the L-brackets.
There will be some spacing between the slats for the bottom shelf. There’s also a lot of ways that this can be done. I used what I call the “Hesitant Handyman Texas Hold ‘Em” spacing method. Required: Poker set (chips and cards) Step one: Take all of your slats and put them flush against each other towards one side of the base. Step two: Place a stack of poker chips that take as much of the space as possible. It’s likely there will still be a little gap. Step three: Stack playing cards in the remaining gap. Step five: Determine how to equally distribute the cards/chips to space the slats equally (Mine worked out to be 3 chips on either end and 2 chips and a card between the remaining gaps
This is totally up to you--paint, stain, a combination of the two--whatever fits your personal style.
