Kids' Playtable with Wheeled Storage Carts

Fasten the legs to the side leg support pieces, leaving a 3/4" gap on the ends of each support board. Add the side aprons — if the leg supports are positioned correctly, the aprons will fit against them perfectly. Screw from the leg support and the legs into the side aprons.

Add the front and back aprons, screwing into them from the legs and also into the side leg support pieces.

Evenly space the five tabletop supports across the frame and screw or nail into place. Attach the plywood or MDF tabletop on top.

Add the side rails to the tabletop, leaving a 1/2" gap above the tabletop surface — this gap is what keeps toys from sliding off. Keep the rails flush at the ends and add a few nails from the rails into the apron below for extra hold. Fasten the front and back rails the same way.

Fasten the front and back of each storage cart to its bottom panel, leaving about a 2" clearance under the bottom for your casters — check your actual caster height and adjust this clearance if needed. Cut the top corners of the fronts and backs if you want a lower profile at the back for reaching in.

Fasten the sides of each storage cart to the bottom and front/back pieces. Mount the four casters to the underside of each cart, then sand and finish both carts and the table.
